Anansi stories

West African / Caribbean

The spider-trickster who wins through cleverness rather than strength, who earns the Sky God's stories by paying an impossible price and gives them to humanity. The Trickster as the source of narrative itself.

All stories belong to Anansi. The Trickster is the archetype of storytelling, and storytelling is how the psyche processes itself.

The pattern underneath: The Trickster. The energy that breaks the rules to make something new possible.
