Why Anansi is Sky-God, Nyame’s, messenger
One day, he harvested a yam known as ‘Kintinkyi’ in secret. Nyame decided that the son who guessed it would become chief and receive his royal stool as proof.
How Anansi’s Head became Small
It all started one day during a time of great famine. Anansi announced to his family that he was heading out in search of food so they could eat.
Dancing with the Dead No. 13
A well-known plant used in the practice of voodoo on the island of Nevis is the Dieffenbachia sp., whose sap causes temporary paralysis of the larynx. Literally one’s vocal cords are shut down for a period of time. Some farmers use the sap to ward off theft by rubbing it on their fruits and vegetables – an exhausting task. Rewards are great however when a ‘cursed’ villager, the thief, is found to be speechless.
Anansi and the Dispersal of Wisdom
Even though he was able to successfully seal all the wisdom away, Anansi was still worried and concerned that all this wisdom was just not safe enough.
Dancing with the Dead No.11: Montserrat No. 2
As John and his wife sat at breakfast on their first morning, John said to me that he sensed there was an angry spirit on the island. To this I replied that that must be the volcano, and explained about the tragedy of the nineteen deaths in 1997. He said, no, that he knew about the volcano, but that it was something more than that.
Dancing with the Dead No.10: Montserrat
She was just about to continue on to the bathroom, when a tall cadaverous gentleman approached her with his hands held out towards her. In a trance, she stepped into the drawing room and her small hands were lost in his large hands. As she had often done with her grandfather, and as so many children do when dancing with an adult, she put her bare feet on the top of gentleman’s shoes. He spun her around into a whirl of dancing, drawing her further and further into the crowd of partygoers. The music played on.
Dancing with the Dead No.9: ST. VINCENT & THE GRENADINES (1955 – 1962)
Suddenly a cry rang out and I was almost thrown to the ground. There was a huge stampede as every last person fled in terror. I couldn’t see or hear what had happened to cause such a reaction, but if everyone was running away, something terrible must have happened. I ran along with the crowd, panting, until I reached the car and quickly drove home.
Episode 6: Tinsley’s Secret!
Instead of being driven away by fear, the opposite was happening to Tinsley. She was being drawn to it. She just needed to know what it was, what it could be. The closer she got to the rock, the brighter the object and surrounding water seemed to glow.
Dancing with the Dead No.8: Grenada (1951 – 1955) No. 3
For years I puzzled as to why our house roof remained intact and I finally asked Mammy. It was not by chance or good fortune she said. Through the years she had learned to open one window on the lee side of the storm, and when the eye passes over, during the lull, close that window and open a window on the opposite side of the house. In doing that, the build-up of pressure in the house is released and so the roof stays on. Of course this would not work if a hurricane-spawned tornado struck, but it did not happen to us, thank God!
Dancing with the Dead No.7: Grenada (1951 – 1955) No. 2
I went into the bathroom, locking the door behind me and sat on the toilet. Suddenly a black snake that had been lying in the corner behind the door uncoiled itself and reared up. I froze. Then I screamed for help, all the while climbing up onto the back of the toilet. Daddy had to break the door in to get at the snake and rescue me!
Dancing with the Dead No.6: Grenada (1951 – 1955) No.1
Another legendary figure in Grenada is “Mama Maladie”, the spirit of an ancient hag who seeks the souls of newborn babies and young children. Today, doctors could explain to distraught mothers about a baby dying as a result of crib death, but that cause of death was not known back in those days. Rather than look for a logical reason, some Grenadian mothers would swear that Mama Maladie had come for their infants.
# Dancing with the Dead No. 5: Antigua No. 2 (1948 – 1951)
I looked back and could still see a bit of the lady’s white dress. There was complete quiet as I explained what I was seeing, and I asked Mammy why wouldn’t the lady come out from behind the door and play with me. No one answered. Quickly Aunt Daisy drew me close to the window and pointed out the goings-on in the street below. I never gave the lady another thought!
Dancing with the Dead No. 4: Antigua No. 1 (1948 – 1951)
Then a feeling came over me that I was not alone in the room. I looked up and saw a lady standing behind the bedstead, her hands holding onto the metal rail above my pillow. She was dressed in long flowing robes of pale blue, and there was a white veil on her head. She looked down at me and smiled, but said nothing. I smiled back at her, and from that moment I felt peaceful and happy and sure that I would get well.
