I’m especially interested in the Cosmology section. The Akan view the Creative Force as ” dual-gendered.” That’s a view I’ve identified with for I’ve long viewed this Force as being beyond the dichotomy of gender. Since this Force created Humanity, then it just makes sense that this aforesaid Force would encompass the Male & Female Principles.
-
Shade, the dual-gender nature of the Supreme Being is very common in African Cosmology.

Tenkamenin, Yes, that has been a part of Afrikan tradition since the days of ancient Kemet. In his The Art of Leadership, Vol. 1, Oba T’Shaka explores the duality of this cosmology. He calls it “Harmonious Complementary Dualism.”
