mami wata is often portrayed all around the world with the head and torso of a woman/man & the tail of a fish. being half-fish and half-human, mami wata embodies both the forces of nature and culture. she is similar to the afro-brazillian yemanja and the haitian lwa - lasiren.
mami wata is everywhere. i.e: the dogon tribe of mali have for centuries attributed the creation of the world to the nommo, a pantheon of merfolk originating from the sirius star system. this ancient star system's existence was finally confirmed in 1862.

mami wata has typically been demonized by western religions like christianity mainly because of her highly sexual and dangerous nature. she is known to appear to both male and female african devotees in dreams to have deeply passionate sex and bestow them with gifts of wealth.
she has priesteses/priests and traditions all over west africa, however she can be approached individually - and often responds to seekers on an individual basis. she is the patron spirit of sex workers and queer people, as well as doctors, psychologists, & healers in general.
mami wata loves offerings of sweet things and luxury. offer her flowers, perfume, sweet fruits, soft drinks, candy, expensive jewellery, or a tall glass of water on an altar space. alternatively, go to a body of water and honor her with gifts and attention.
call on mami wata when you're looking to achieve wholeness both spiritually and materially. she is viciously protective of her devotees, especially sex workers & children. she brings fertility to both men and barren women & can be invoked for powerful prophetic dreams.
