Afro Tales Podcast

Today we have a tale about how and why we have owls. What happens to those people that are just mean and rude to others. willing to talk bad about family and friends as soon as they turn their backs. The same people that wouldn't bother to help someone that was starving although they have a feast waiting for them in the kitchen. I believe it is a tale about why we have what is known to be True Owls, you know the ones that look like they have horns on their heads. This story is known as a Pourqui (why ) Story and is originally told as a chantefable in the so-called slave dialect of the American south.

Why Woman Got the Power is a mythological tale based in the American South. It is a variation of the Adam and Eve story complete with god, the devil, and his slyness. This story takes you on a journey about how man and woman started off on equal footing and changed because of one person's thirst for power and control. You will see what happens when one person thinks they can control the other and how it is rectified through cunning and intellect. What people believe about the Adam and Eve story may soon change in this tale.
