The Ashanti religion is a mixture of spiritual and supernatural powers. They believe that plants, animals, and trees have souls. They ... believe in fairies, witches, and forest monsters. There are a variety of religious beliefs involving ancestors, higher gods, or abosom, and ‘Nyame’, the Supreme Being of Ashanti. The Ashanti also practice many rites for marriage, death, puberty, and birth. The golden stool is sacred to the Ashanti.

Typically, individual Ashanti did not own land, but rather occupied that which came down from a previous ancestor. Both men and women can possess property made or acquired by individual efforts. Heirlooms and carved stools -- all possessions of family and lineage property -- may be disposed of by individuals if they choose to do so.
