Celebrating Africa’s Mythology and Heritage

Unveil the rich tapestry of Africa’s stories and legends with us.

Celebrating Africa's Mythology and Heritage

Welcome to Afrodeities, where we unveil Africa's rich history and mythology through captivating narratives that honor its timeless deities and forgotten voices.
The Shadow Sky is but the first step in a much larger exploration of African mythology, history, and culture, its rich and untold legacy of mythology, history, and resilience. Stories of deity queens, creator warrior deities and kings, and ancient prophecies are waiting to unfold.

The vision for Afrodeities is a thrilling and ambitious one, with the overarching strategy being to underpin some rather exciting exploratory fiction by establishing this foundation of uncovering, compiling and retelling African myths and brief histories. Future works will examine the echoes of these historical myths and how they intertwine with Africa’s greatness, struggles and potential for recovery.There is so much to see and learn. Let's get started!
