#Ananse the spider wanted to gather all the #nyansa (knowledge), put it in a pot and hide it in a palm tree, but failed as the pot fell and nyansa nyina (all the knowledge) scattered everywhere.

Ananse didn’t have the knowledge how to climb a tree with a pot.

An electrical appliance in our kitchen refused to work for several days.

When all attempts to fix it had failed, we somewhat reluctantly acknowledged the presence of the Trickster archetype, which has the power to disrupt or ‘overthrow programs’ (according to Jung and Campbell).

The appliance now works.

Caution: Individual results may vary, (as they say on TV).
