Ilankaka
|

The
sun goddess of the Nkundo of central Zaire was trapped by a man who was
hunting during the night. She begged to be released and promised him
much wealth for doing so, but the only wealth he wanted was her, and so
she agreed to marry him. Soon pregnant, she refused to eat anything but
forest rats. Because it was known that a man had to provide for any whim
of a pregnant woman, the man was kept very busy trapping for her. One
night, however, she awakened to realize she was no longer pregnant.
Shocked, she discovered the baby had slipped out of the womb and was
already eating meat. He grew up to be the hero Itonde, who captured the
heart of the Elephant Girl Mbombe |

Osun
|
| The
power (orisa) of love and sensuality. She is depicted as an old wise
woman sad at the loss of her beauty. Alternately she may be shown as
tall, light-brown-skinned, and with the sensuality of a prostitute. She
is patroness of rivers and the bloodstream, and wears seven brass
bracelets. She wears a mirror at her belt to admire herself, is
companioned by the primping peacock and cricket, and carries river water
in her pot. Powerful spells are worked through this lady of opposites |
