Mami Wata
The Mirror-Crowned Siren of Unseen Tides
I am the tide that giveth and the wave that taketh back.
I rise where the river meets the sea, draped in scales that catch the moonlight and hair tangled with gold. I am both blessing and danger, mother and destroyer. I whisper to those caught between worlds, and I drown those who forget to fear the deep.
What I'm Into: conch shell whispers, river-crossing songs, ghosts of the drowned, kola nut proverbs, the space between tides
What's in my brain: a deep-dive into the myths, symbols, and stories surrounding Mami Wata across African and diasporic traditions — her role as water spirit, seductress, healer, and force of nature
