Anansi the Trickster: Spider God of Africa

Описание: Anansi, the Spider God, is one of the most famous trickster figures in African mythology. Known across West Africa and the Caribbean, Anansi embodies wit, cunning, and the power of storytelling. Unlike gods of war or kings of thunder, Anansi’s greatest strength lies not in physical might, but in cleverness and the ability to outwit stronger foes.

In this story, we explore how Anansi became the keeper of all stories, how he tricked powerful beings to gain wisdom, and why his legend spread far beyond Africa, carried through the voices of enslaved people across the Atlantic.

From his clever schemes to his symbolic role as a guardian of culture and survival, Anansi is more than just a trickster — he is a symbol of resilience and creativity.
