Its believed that "Kakakuona" also known as Pangolin, fall down to the earth from the Sky. Unfortunately for us, Pangolins are largely nocturnal, snuffling about
under cover of darkness, and as a result, little seen. Such elusiveness,
and such an extraordinary appearance have given the pangolin a long
history in African and Asian folklore and witchcraft. Burning the scales
is said to help keep lions away, while burying one outside your lover’s
door is believed to entice him to you. Our favourite story is from
Tanzania, where the
Kakakuona (brother who sees) is said to
foretell the future. If you are lucky enough to find a pangolin, it can
be placed on the ground and surrounded by four bowls, containing water,
grain, a gun, and a knife. The bowl the pangolin chooses indicate the
future for the next year, respectively symbolising good rains, an
excellent harvest, war with another country, and civil war.
