The African Folktale: Collection Of Tales [Completed] by let_alpha_write

Folk tales and myths serve as a means of handing down traditions and customs from one generation to the next in Africa. For several generations, stories from Africa have traditionally been passed down by word of mouth. Often, after a hard day's work, the adults would gather the children together by moonlight, around a village fire and tell stories. This is traditionally called Tales by Moonlight. Usually the stories are meant to prepare young people for life, and so taught a lesson or moral.

Ologun Mejo by Bodunoye

When gods walk the earth, even shadows must remember their names. A small village stands at the edge of ruin, its people caught between mortal fear and divine silence. From the old tales, eight Orisha rise again - guardians bound by fate, drawn by the cry of the desperate. But as the veil between worlds trembles, something older stirs in the deep: the Ajogun whisper, and in the dark between creation and decay, an ancient nameless power begins to wake. In a world where myths still bleed into reality, balance itself may not be salvation - only the calm before another storm.

Myth and Legends by LeviRyomaYoh

What is Myth? Myth is a folklore genre consisting of narratives that play a fundamental role in a society, such as foundational tales or originmyths. The main characters in myths are usually non-humans, such as gods, demigods, and other supernatural figures. However, others also include humans, animals, or combinations in their classification of myth. Stories of everyday human beings, although often of leaders of some type, are usually contained in legends, as opposed to myths. Myths are sometimes distinguished from legends in that myths deal with gods, usually have no historical basis, and are set in a world of the remote past, very different from that of the present. What is Legend? A legend is a genre of folklore that consists of a narrative featuring human actions, believed or perceived, both by teller and listeners, to have taken place in human history. Narratives in this genre may demonstrate human values, and possess certain qualities that give the tale verisimilitude. Legend, for its active and passive participants may include miracles. Legends may be transformed over time to keep them fresh and vital. Many legends operate within the realm of uncertainty, never being entirely believed by the participants, but also never being resolutelydoubted. Legends are sometimes distinguished from myths in that they concern human beings as the main characters rather than gods, and sometimes in that they have some sort of historical basis whereas myths generally do not. Collection of stories that has a moral lesson.
