Here’s my slight redesign of Nyame! Hope you like em!

[nogetron]

Nyame, the great weaver of the Akan gods. Nyame was ever present, existing before time flowed. It was by their hands earth was formed, manifesting the spirit of the earth: Asase Yaa. In the form of Nyankopon, Nyame grew intimate with Asase Yaa, with the two creating the sea goddess Bosompo and the rock god Abo. Like Nyame and Asase Yaa before them, Bosompo and Abo gave birth to the Abosom, the gods of the world, each sharing a portion of Nyame’s power. After a night of intimacy between Nyame and Asase Yaa, the earth goddess gave birth to Nyame’s children, Bia and Tano along with the spider Anansi. Nyame sought to create something himself, forming the embodiment of death Owuo. Owuo’s first action upon being born was to kill his creator. Though Nyame was felled, their unmatched power greatly dwarfed that of meager death, resurrecting themselves. Nyame greatly adores their son Anansi, together the two created humanity and after a test Nyame gave the spider god Anansi all the world’s stories. Nyame consists of a trinity with Odomankoma and Nyankapon, the two are separate aspects of the same divinity. Odomankoma is the force by which the universe was created, Nyankapon however is the personality or ego to that force, and Nyame encapsulates all of them a supreme and ineffable existence.

Nyame is one of the many omniscient supreme gods in Africa, placing Nyame with the Egyptian Ra, the Dogon Amma, the Yoruba Olorun, the Malagasy Zanahary, and the San Kaggen just to name a few. Nyame’s omnipotence can also connect him to the supreme gods of other lands, correlating with the Canaanite El, the Chinese Shangdi and the Slavic Rod. Nyame has many names and titles, some of which could’ve started off as separate regional forms that were absorbed back into Nyame. The Fante patron deity Bobowissi is believed to have originated as a regional form of Nyame, possibly focusing more on Nyame’s connection to storms, but with the contact with other Akan people and his own development Bobowissi became its own god separated from Nyame. Each of their names have meaning, Nyankapon translates to “the great Nyame”, Odomankoma translates to “creator” or “the only one who gives the universe” or “infinite”. Nyame holds many epithets as well, Odomankoma wuo and Oboo-wuo translates to “creator of death”, Oboo nkwa translates to “creator of life”, Borebore means “architect”, Amaomee translates to “giver of plenty”, Otumfoo means “the powerful one”, Amowia translates to “the sun giver”, and Opanyin translates to “the great ancestor”. One of Nyame’s popular titles; Ananse Kokuroko, translates to “the great spider”, leading some practitioners to believe that Nyame was a spider god, similar to their son Anansi. Asase Yaa is sometimes believed to be the feminine manifestation of the Nyame trinity, with Nyankapon being the masculine.

Basically, this book explains how one tribe in Africa worshipped their ONE God and how the missionaries came and made it look like they were worshipping many deities and if you worshipped via your native religion, you were deemed as primitive savages and not educated. I learnt so much about my history in this.... #Akan #Ghana #Ashanti #twi #Nyame #Nyankopon #Odomankoma #Tetekwaframoa
