"Hönger to Basel"
Item Details
Title:
"Hönger to Basel"
Description
Reports that at Osiem the people were anxious that he should spend the night on his journey to Gyadam, and when he could not they pressed him to return from Gyadam to preach to them (Hönger was not very skilled in the use of twi at this stage). There is a fetish prohibition against goats in the village which he broke. In Gyadam he was welcomed by Agyeman, and found a Kramo amulet-seller a hopeful sign in that it indicated that the people were losing faith in their local fetishes.
