i'm bad with details and symbols, so forgive me if this question has an obvious answer.

are the old women gods too? because when the one dies, I think I remember there being something about her talking or making noise when she was buried. I can't look it up because I already took the book back to the library. I have such a short term memory.

She did speak after she was dead, but to correct her age, which was only a bit over 100 which makes it unlikely she's a God. (The book had other ghosts in it, so I took it as just another example of the dead speaking.)

Now, whether or not there are other references there, I can't say. Someone else have an answer?

First off, hello all...

I have to agree with GMZoe that it was only another example of the "life after death", and not an example of god-like behavior.

She was 104 when she died, which seems a long-time but certainly not unheard of. She also had certain "mystical" powers, but those can be attributed to witchcraft.

i just thought they might be gods because they all knew that mr. nancy was a god. i wasn't sure if he would tell ordinary people or not.

she lived so long because of Anansi, she had a "history" with him and Anansi can make things happen (like helping Fat Charlie's mother in the hospital)
