Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Somali Mythology covers the beliefs, the myths, the legends and folk tales circulating in Somali Society that were passed down to the new generations in a timeline spanning several millennia. Many of the things that constitute Somali mythology today are traditions whose accuracy have faded away with time or have transformed considerably with the coming of Islam in the Somali Peninsula. The culture of venerating Saints and the survival of several religious offices in modern Somalia show that old traditions of Ancient Somalia had a significant impact on Somali Islam and Somali literature in later centuries. Similarly practitioners of traditional Somali medicine and astronomy also adhere to remnants of an old cultural belief system that once flourished in Somalia and the wider Horn of Africa.
