The mythology of the peoples of Tropical and Southern Africa is a bizarre fusion of cultures and beliefs of numerous tribes. From this book you will learn who the griots are and how they managed to preserve oral traditions. Why African mythology is symbolic, zoototemic and zoocosmic. You will get an idea of the world of spirits, gods, sorcerers and magicians, get acquainted with the totemic ideas of Africans and learn about the cult of ancestors. African myths will tell how death appeared on earth and how life in the world of the dead is arranged, why time is cyclical and flows from the present to the past.
