When we first met, we shared a dream. We decided that one day we would like to do a comprehensive study of the most powerful ceremonies that occurred across the African continent, spanning the life cycle from birth to death. We were aware these ceremonies were fast disappearing and we felt an urgency to record them before it was too late. And we've been working toward that for the last ten years in order to prepare our double-volume book.

Ceremonies are like a peak period of each stage of life. They mark a transition where people are going to move from one stage to another and will understand the roles and responsibilities expected of them at the next stage.

The climax was when the golden stool was brought in, which represents the Ashanti soul and is believed to have descended from heaven 200 years ago. This stool is so precious, it's a throne that no individual can sit on. This was paraded in for the first time in 25 years and was placed on its own throne and presented for one day only to the public.
