I find the post of this forum interesting, but from what I have experienced through my journey into the tradition, I have seen far more women being called into the tradition than I have seen of men.  I am curios as to why this seems to be the case.  Any insight is appreciated.

Good Post

I read both articles and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  Akom Kwaku Addae strikes me as a very witty and shrewd person, I liked how he was able to discern information from the Coastal couple that visited his shrine.  In regards to his dissemination of information on the routines and tricks, it is what it is.

Glad you got something from it. It's quite an interesting read indeed!

Ive always viewed Abosoms like Kwasi Boo as community regulators aka law enforcement. I remember one saturday afternoon my grandma came out of her bedroom yelling someone stole her cash, she threatened that if the money wasn't returned she would invoke a local god and she had an egg in her hand. Within an hr the money was returned and all was well. You would have to wonder if the people didn't believe in those gods what would the old lady's recourse be? For examples lets say they were all Christians, how would my grandma retrieve her money? Nothing in christianity  would invoke that type of fear, all punishment would happen in the afterlife and presumably if you professed Christ as your savior you could probably still get into heaven depending on the Christian denomination you believe in.

Nonetheless a good Akom understands the powerful affect they have on the community, they unite us with dance and music and talk practical sense like Kwaku Addae did with the Coastal couple.

Kwaku Addae fed Rev Akesson a minor aspect of the life of an Akom, it's a bit more comprehensive than what was delineated in the article.
