In an age of digital noise, sacred storytelling remains one of the most potent tools for awakening the soul. The Serpent’s Drum by Asar Adewale Farid is not merely a novel — it’s a mythic archive, a cultural reclamation wrapped in cosmic prose.

Drawing from African cosmology, spiritual folklore, and speculative futures, Farid resurrects the voices of ancestors long buried under silence. His characters are not just literary creations but embodiments of oral history, hidden wisdom, and generational trauma.

Why does this matter?

Because myth isn’t about fantasy — it’s about memory. It’s the way we explain pain. It’s the way we pass on purpose. And it’s how we reconnect with parts of ourselves we didn’t know we had forgotten.

Farid’s writing dares to ask: What if the stories of our past could heal our present?
