The three tales I told today are:
“Anansi & Anene” from the Ashanti
“Fishing on Sunday” from the Bahamas
“Brer Rabbit and the Well” from the Uncle Remus tales
(all adapted from versions found in A Treasury of Afro-American Folklore, Harold Courlander, ed.)

Dr. E, God gifted abilities helped remove any negative forces or energy that was blocking God’s blessings for me with the used of bath cleansing and sugar jars, etc…..Superior Products. My testimony is I went from a part-time job making $16,000 a year with a promotion career position paying an additional $17,000 (do the math). His work is awesome, fast & effective, consultation on the money, and very professional. I would recommend Dr. E, services to people that truly believes in God’s gifted conjure specialists to do good will. To God be the Glory.
