SUMMARY
=======
Akan religion comprises the traditional beliefs and religious practices of the Akan people of Ghana and eastern Ivory Coast.  Akan religion is referred to as Akom (from the Twi word okom, meaning "prophecy").  Although most Akan people have identified as Christians since the early 20th century, Akan religion remains practiced by some, and is often syncretized with Christianity.  The Akan have many subgroups (including the Ashanti, the Akuapem, the Wassa, the Abron, the Anyi, and the Baoulé, among others), so the religion varies greatly by region and subgroup.
Similar to other traditional religions of West and Central Africa such as West African Vodun, Yoruba religion, or Odinani, Akan cosmology consists of a senior god who generally does not interact with humans and many gods who assist humans.
Anansi the Spider is a folk hero, who is prominent in Ashanti folktales, where he is depicted as a trickster.
