Do you know that the Larabanga stone can mysteriously return to its original place if it’s displaced?
This sacred stone holds incredible power and is located in Larabanga, a village in the Northern Region of Ghana.
The Larabanga people narrate how the founder of the town was passing through the area and decided to pass the night. Men of that era were spiritually strong and would not do anything without consulting any deity that they believed in. His deity ordered him to throw his spear and use the landing place as his resting ground. It is believed that the position of the stone is where he stood to throw his spear.
The stone is mostly noted for its ability to return to its original position when it is moved. It allegedly returned to its original position twice after it was moved to make space for a road construction. Finally, the road had to be diverted to go around it. It is also believed to have the power to heal and to curse.
Even though some of these myths may sound farfetched, they are still held in very high regard in Larabanga today and continue to be a big part of their culture and heritage.
