Dantu

Ga · Ga, Accra · Religion/spiritual

A Ga god of Accra. Field (1940) states that the Dantu wulɔmɔ, of the house of Lante Dzan We in Asere, has the duty of 'counting the year' and announcing when the annual festivals are due, and that Dantu's corn is the first planted in the ceremonial sowing. Matczynski (2022) lists Dantu among the Ga jemawɔji.

The Dantu priest announced that the time for the festival had come.
