Ewe Spirituality - 2 more key texts by the Klikor priest-gctid38741

[KwameD]

These are two more texts by Dale Massiasta. Although one of the texts is entitled "Tourism in Ketu", it actually contains a lot of information regarding Ewe Spirituality, festivals, rituals and rites. The second text entitled "Origin of the slave stool of Klikor" is very interesting from a number of angles, and it also has some more information on Ewe spirituality.

Both texts were previously available online but not anymore.
