Mami Wata is the Mother of the Waters who enters our dreams when she leaves the water. Originating with the Bambara people from Senegal, she is most famously known in mermaid form and can manifest as male or female. She is the Mother of all life. She leads an army of white beings like the cadavers lost at sea and is often depicted holding a snake. She can be petitioned for wealth, power, fertility and children. Mami Wata is an important deity in the New Orleans Voudou pantheon.
