- ...Where Web Meets Cross
Embedded Files
Name Meaning:
The name reflects the weaving of cultural stories (such as the spider's web in Ananse tales) with the spiritual power of the Cross, symbolizing faith, redemption, and divine truth.
Symbolism:
The spider web represents life’s entanglements, sin, deception, and challenges.
The Cross represents redemption, spiritual light, and triumph over darkness.
Together, they form a powerful metaphor for how faith overcomes the snares of life, making the stories not just entertaining but also spiritually enriching.
Purpose:
To present faith-centered adaptations of African folktales that resonate across cultures while embedding Christian values, such as grace, humility, wisdom, and moral clarity.
Anansi Tales
Author's Note - From Valerie Dompreh
Author's Note - From Valerie Dompreh
This story is rooted in Akan folklore from my home country, Ghana, where tales of animals are passed down to teach wisdom, values, and truth. The character of Anansi is beloved across West Africa and the Caribbean—a spider known for his clever tricks and unexpected lessons.
Okoto is a fictional creation, inspired by the kind of generous people I’ve known—people who give so much that they lose themselves.
In retelling this story, I wanted to honor the cultural beauty of our traditions while also sharing a message of faith, restoration, and identity in Christ.
In the Bible, we see that even Jesus, the ultimate giver, withdrew to pray, rested when He was tired, and taught His disciples to guard their hearts.
This story is for anyone who has ever felt emptied by love. May you be reminded that your worth is sacred and that God sees you, even when the world forgets.
