Afrodeities™

Afrodeities™ is more than a project. It is a return.

Founded by British-Nigerian mythologist and cultural archivist Chinenye Egbuna Ikwuemesi, Afrodeities is a visionary storytelling platform that reclaims African mythology, memory, and meaning. At its heart lies a sacred mission: to restore the ancestral frameworks that were shattered by colonisation, erasure, and disconnection — and to reanimate them for a new generation through books, lectures, codices, and mythic architecture.

For centuries, African stories were stolen, silenced, or scattered. But memory is not so easily extinguished. Through mythopoetic storytelling, historical reframing, and speculative imagination, we are rebuilding the world our ancestors knew—and the future they envisioned.

Our growing Afrodeities Codex™ spans 99+ interconnected works: from vivid retellings of ancient deities (Meet the Orisas) to mytho-historic reconstructions (Nigerian Mythology: The Shadow Sky), to microbooks, visual storytelling, and sacred design systems that hold both grief and glory, rupture and resilience.

This is a living archive of:

• African cosmologies before distortion

• Diasporic memory across oceans

• Cultural technologies hidden in song, soil, food, and rebellion

• Myth as infrastructure, not fantasy

We write to remember.
We create to restore.
We myth-make to survive.

Afrodeities™ is a return to self — and a gift to the future.
