Tepa Barnie is revered as a powerful river god, which makes the Tepa stool a sacred deity stool. For this reason, the Tepahene always appear in white during Asante gatherings. The river is believed to bless barren women with children and those born through its power are said to bear unique physical traits, such as a streak of grey hair or vitiligo-like skin marks.
Tradition recounts that there was a period in the Oyoko dynasty when it became difficult to find male royals to ascend the stool, until the Barnie deity intervened to resolve the challenge.
Another tradition further attributes to the same deity the prophecy of the birth of a future Asantehene underscoring its enduring influence in Asante cultural and spiritual life.
