Mami Wata - World's Oldest Religions

[Jimi Swagger]

Haven't seen much information regarding Mami Wata on The Coli, only other vodoun and West African animism belief system. Didn't know if this should be posted here or on The Root so mods, "moderate" as you wish.

Enjoy the journey.

So the origins of mermaids come from West Africa...Nigeria to be exact.
Mami Wata is Igbo.

But they said Mermaids can't be Black.

All of this stuff is African mythology remixed.
