Anansi the trickster, Caribbean folklore

In the rich tapestry of West Indian folklore, no trickster reigns supreme like Anansi, the cunning spider whose web of lies, greed, and manipulation ensnares both the foolish and the wise. From the Caribbean’s sun-soaked villages to the deep shadows of ancient storytelling, Anansi—or his clever counterpart, Spin—schemes his way to fortune, twisting trust into traps and turning greed into opportunity. But will his wit lead to triumph or downfall? In these timeless tales of deceit and consequences, the trickster always has the last laugh—unless, of course, the joke’s on him.
