Beschreibung
What happens when a people are stripped of the stories that shaped their identity?
In Nigerian Mythology: The Shadow Sky, we embark on a revelatory journey into the forgotten spiritual and mythological worlds of Nigeria's major ethnic groups. This volume uncovers the deities, traditions, and sacred cosmologies erased by colonial conquest, Islamic expansion, and cultural erasure through rich cultural excavation.
With clarity and purpose, this book offers a rare compendium of ancestral knowledge-reclaiming the spiritual frameworks, cosmic systems, and stories that once defined the identity and destiny of Nigeria's people.
This is not only a work of mythological documentation-it is a reclamation of identity.
The Shadow Sky is the first in the African Mythology Series. It is followed by The Shadow Realms and The Shadow Forge, which explore Africa's spirit worlds, mythic systems, and the war between obscurity and memory.
A must-read for anyone interested in mythology, African history, decolonial thinking, and cultural restoration.
