| '''Aberewa''' is the name given to the first woman as well as a powerful earth goddess named Asaase Yaa. Her role explains the creation of the sky god in two very similar myths.

| In one account while Aberewa prepared food for her children she pounded palm nuts in a mortar with her pestle. However, every time she pounded the pestle she would bump [[Nyame]], who would be the god of the sky. Annoyed by the bumping, Nyame left the earth for the sky and decided to stay there.

| In the other story, Nyame is bumped into the sky by the pestle as opposed to leaving for it on his own will.
