#Winneba #Simpa #Aboakyer #Festival #2023 (Thursday)

The natives of Simpa (Winneba) adore and hold in high esteem their principal deity, Penkye Otu, for leading their ancestors through the arduous journey from Timbuktu to their present settlement. Oral records indicate that all along this route, their leaders propitiated the deity for all forms of protection against the numerous challenges that confronted them, including diseases and hunger. At their present location, the annual rites were performed by the principal elders of the Otuano Royal House who established Simpa (Winneba). Penkye Otu and its “sons” (lesser gods) did enjoy human sacrifices in the beginning but this had to be changed with the dawning of civilization. Slaves were kept for this purpose but the gruesomeness of the rituals created a social concern that led to consultations with the deity for a more humane alternative.
