  Anansi and the Midnight Market

  Gathered from the oral traditions of the Akan people of Ghana

  ---

  Lean in close, children of the between-times, and I shall tell you of Anansi and the Midnight Market, a tale that teaches us to distinguish between what appears valuable and what truly is. This story comes from the nights when the veil between worlds grows thin, and when those who walk in darkness reveal truths that daylight conceals.

• The Origin of Wind Aug 22, 2025

  

  Gather round, children of the earth, as the evening breeze stirs the palm leaves above us and carries the scent of distant flowers to our circle. Tonight I will tell you of Mframa, the wind that touches every corner of our world, and how she first learned to dance across the sky. Listen with your hearts as well as your ears, for this tale speaks of freedom, of the breath that gives life to all things, and of the love that moves through all creation.
