More information from Wikipedia.org:
Akan is an ethnic group from western Africa. This group includes the Ashanti, the Fante and the Nzema peoples of Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. From the fifteenth century to nineteenth century, the Akan people dominated gold mining and gold trade in the region. They are known for their gold weights, which were made using the "lost wax" method of casting.

Some of their most important mythological stories are called Anansasem ("spider stories" also Nyankomsem "words of a sky god"). These stories generally, but not always, revolve around Kwaku Ananse, a trickster-spider spirit.

The highest god is Brekyirihunuade ("he who knows and sees everything").
