ISBN 0670110523 Agotime was a native of Dahomey, a West African nation that sold slaves to Portuguese, in the early nineteenth century. When her husband King Agoglo died, she, unlike the childless wives, was not forced to immolate herself upon the funeral bier. Instead she passed to Agoglo's son and successor, King Adadoza. After confining her in the panther-wives compound for five years, Adadoza sold her into slavery. Fa, the oracle, told her to take with her to Brazil her vodu, Zomadonu-King of the water spirits. The legend is unclear as to whether Agotime, ever returned to Dahomey. Some believe she did when her son Gakpe became king; others believe she remained in Northern Brazil. It is known that two ambassadors went on Gakpe's orders to Brazil to look for Agotime and found her after a difficult search. The cult she began still holds its religious ceremonies to this day.Visit my eCRATER Store for other great books and save on shipping!
