Let’s Begin…
Before the world of humans began, there was the world of the gods. Four brothers wandered this celestial realm. One day, the brothers snuck into a spirit’s house and spotted a giant gourd hanging in the corner. But as they tried to look inside the gourd, they dropped it. It broke apart, releasing a deluge that formed a new world. Bill Keegan details the Taino myth of Deminan and the sea.
The four brothers did not know their family until Bayamanacao revealed he was their “grandfather” and told them about their mother. Why is it important to know your relatives and ancestry?
