Four Creations

Four Creations

Their words and thoughts were so clear that whatever they said came to be.

Welcome aboard the Afro Tales podcast, where we set sail into the rich tapestry of stories from Indigenous and African descent in the Americas and the Caribbean. In this episode, we embark on a journey to explore the creation stories of the Kichi people, as told in the ancient book of wisdom, the Popol Vuh. Discover the four creations, from the initial void to the final creation of humankind, and the fascinating interactions between the Maker, Feathered Serpent, and the Heart of Sky. Dive into this episode for a blend of culture, mythology, and deliciousness!
