The Architectural Codices of the Afrodeities Project

Wonder, legacy and history

The Shadow Realms

If The Shadow Sky revealed the stolen stars, The Shadow Realms walks the scorched earth. This volume dives deep into the mystic worlds of the Edo, Ẹ̀tẹ̀vẹ̀, Idoma, Ibibio, Urhobo, Itsekiri, and Jukun peoples — stories long shrouded, voices barely whispered. Here are kingdoms beneath kingdoms, gods that speak in teeth and thunder, and ancestral spirits who do not forget. This is a descent into the under-realms of Nigerian mythology — darker, older - gripping.

The Warrior Queens of Africa

Before crowns were stolen and thrones erased, the continent knew the names of its fiercest protectors. This is their resurrection. From Nzinga’s fire to Amina’s blade, this book is a battle cry and a blessing — a lineage of women who fought not just for power, but for people, for spirit, for land. Their stories are not legend. They are law.

The Afrodeities Codex

Step deeper into the Codex — where ancestral memory, mythic invention, and cultural resurrection converge. From the gods of forgotten pantheons to the whispered stories of survival, these works span the sacred trifecta of mythology, myth, and memory. Each codex holds its own flame: the Mythology Codex restores what was erased; the Mythic Codex reimagines what was possible; the Memory Codex remembers what was lived but never spoken.

These are not just stories. They are blueprints of return.

COMING SOON from the Mythmaker’s Codex

The Relics of the Rainmakers (2026)
Southern Africa remembers — not only in song and stone, but in the sacred tools of those who summoned the skies. This is a tale of thunder-split memory, of bones that speak in storm, of lineages carried not by blood alone, but by the relics left behind. The rainmakers were not just conjurers — they were keepers of balance. And the relics still wait.

The Eagles of East Africa (Early 2026)
From the highlands of Ethiopia to the coasts of Swahili gold, the East remembers flight. These are the mythic eagles — watchers, messengers, and judges — who soared when empires forgot the sky. Their wings carried wisdom, their eyes burned through deception, and their return signals the awakening of the high gods. East Africa rises in tale, in talon, in truth.

The Boy Who Went to School (Q2 2025)

He was the youngest of nine, born to the fields, not the page. Yet the missionaries came, they saw in him a mind like a river, swift and deep, and courage as deep. He faced numerous challenges to reach a schoolhouse, chasing a dream no one else had dared. This is the story of the boy who chose the long road — and what it built.

The Book of Bakongo

A mythic return to the riverine kingdoms and forest-blooded wisdom of Central Africa. This is not history rewritten — it is memory reawakened. The gods of the Kôngo rise again, bearing drums of thunder, leopard-laced prophecy, and the fire of ancestral truth. This is the story of those who crossed water not to forget, but to remember deeper.

The Girl With the Scar on Her Nose

She thought she saved her sister. She thought running from the burn was the right thing. But a terrible mishap occurs and in the days that followed, the story changed. What was rescue became rough play. What was protection became punishment. This is a tale of betrayal — of what happens when the wrong rewrite the memory, and even the rescued start to believe the lie. A scar can fade from skin. But what about the soul?

The Dancers of Dahomey

They danced with blades. They danced with rage. They danced with memory. Born from the kingdom that held back empires, the Dancers of Dahomey were not merely warriors — they were rhythm incarnate, divine movement forged into defence. This is a sacred choreography of defiance, lineage, and the echoes that still haunt the soil. Their steps are returning.

Superscore: The Song That Survived

What the griots once carried from village to village, now moves through songs, through speakers cracked with the weight of survival. Superscore is the codex of that living rhythm; a study of the songs that crossed oceans the way the Bantu did: as seed, as signal, as scripture. From wedding songs of unbowed Black joy to Black survival gospel, Superscore traces how sound has become our shared survival system. It is the modern griot path. The sonic Bantu route. The way we remember who we are when everything tried to make us forget.
