It is so sad that we do not say Ananse stories anymore. I just told my mother this and she has promised to say Ananse stories to me and my children every night! We need to revive our stories!

[@wiilov]

This is how cultural stories are meant to be told

[@priest21]

People of the Caribbean would talk about ”A Nancy Storyr” all the time without making the connection. Thanks for the post

[@ZelphTheWebmancer]

I love to see the several different versions of this story and how each is different but still telling the same tale.

[@TheJessicacruz161]

As a child I had a book of Anansi & his stories. Thank you to my beautiful big sister for giving me that thirst for books.

[@arielshikoba1857]

Love his delivery of the story!! I feel like I'm in the room 🥰

[@universalgreyshadow7988]

I had a dream last night about a shapeshifter who seemed to have attacked my family and was coming for me. There was no fear, I woke up after coming face to face with him. It wasn't an attack. He did not speak, but appeared to be wanting to communicate with me.I wasn't scared at all, and he wasn't trying to scare me. So I searched Google for a shapeshifting male/spider. I did not Recognize his face.

One of my friends sounds just like this guy when he gets wasted

[@myAfricanAffairs]

And one of my friend writes comments just like you when he gets high on crack.

[@DarkLight6Tv]

Wait.. maybe I missed something...what was the significance of the requested items? The sack of meat (probably rotten now) with ghost was presented but we don't know what happened. I assume the snake was tied against the staff. The bees were released from the jar in the presence of God and spectator s and speculators.

[@poison03nae]

DarkLight6Tv it's about tricking people into remeing your name and how greed can sometimes cause cause but even good people can do bad. Stick to the plans be flexible and keep going and making new ones and pray for help and you will not be able to be touched. I was granted forsignt back and forth 😍😍😍 Plus funny 😍

[@NanaNyarko1993]

Ananse stories was never meant to make it easier for the audience to understand, it was meant to be discussed and look for the deeper meaning because all that was mentioned in the story. For instance, the Akan people say, you speak in proverbs to the one who is wise and keep in their thinking because those who can sit and think far make wise decisions.

What mythology is this

[@kalslamptey9859]

west african

[@Tu51ndBl4d3]

Akan

[@AbenaAnima]

What kind of Ghanaian language is he speaking? Is it akuapem, nfanti or something else?? Please note that you have an international audience who know absolutely nothing about the array of languages in our nation. Please put the type of language the storyteller is speaking in the description box. thank you.

[@NanaNyarko1993]

This sounds like Enfante dialect of the Akan language.

[@nanakwakukoomson1120]

He speaking Apam Nfanti

[@nanakwakukoomson1120]

He's speaking Apam Nfanti

[@afrilifewealth8743]
