Mami Wata and Yemoja. African Mermaid Goddesses of femininity, love and healing. They trace back to the earliest of African societies as recorded by the griots and keepers of history. African traditions tell their stories and trace records of their existence to more than 4000 years ago. Mesopotamian stories also tell of the great water goddesses in their story of creation known as Mami Aruru to be the creator of life. The little Mermaid image hasn’t gone off course. It’s more authentic now.
