Picture
KWEKU ANANSI is the one of the children of Nyame: Anansi Kokuroko (Creator) and Nyame: Asase Ya (Mother Earth). His siblings are Tano and Bea. The symbol on top of His Head is called an Adinkra, which are symbols that convey wisdom, history, and theological ideas of the Akan peoples. Kweku means born on the 4th day (wednesday in English). Anansi is the Lord of Science, Topography, History, Cunning, and assisted in the construction of the world.

This is my interpretation of this Mighty Nyame (Abosom) that has been the stuff of varying children stories in the Americas (Nancy in the North and Anansi in the Caribbean). I grew up on stories of the Mighty Lord Anansi as a child in the Caribbean. We thank the Abosom (Ancestors) for preserving the ideas via the folktales. It's now time to understand the full presence of Lord Anansi! DEOZI! For Artwork Services contact deozi@deozi.com
