Goddess Mami Wata
Excerpt from: Mami Wata: Africa’s Ancient God/dess Unveiled
Mami Goddess, Queen Pasiphaé found in the Palace shrine of Knossos in Pre-Grecian Afro-Minoan, matriarchal Crete. A contemporary of Isis, Cybele (Sibyl) and Black Demeter, Above, she is crowned as grand oracle of the underworld (Ancestors/ Dead) and Queen Priestess/Protector of the state.
The Palace of Knossos, belonged to the great black, lawgiver, King Minos (“moon spirit”), whose African name was Menes, and his Afro-Dravidian name was Menu. Nearly all African kings and diviner (Chaldean) priests were crowned with Mami. This history is not generic "goddess mythology," but an historical sacerdotal order of African women and men whose holy temples dominated the ancient world.”
Mami Wata emerged in new communities and under different guises, among them Lasirèn, Yemanja, Santa Marta la Dominadora, and Oxum. African--based faiths honoring these manifestations of Mami Wata continue to flourish in communities throughout the Americas, including Haiti, Brazil, and the Dominican Republic.
