    Extractions: BNET Log In Join Search African Mythology A vast and geographically varied continent, Africa is home to a great many cultures and to a thousand or more languages. Although no single set of myths and legends unites this diverse population, different culture groups and regions share some common elements. Like myths from other parts of the world, those of the African peoples reflect beliefs and values. But while the mythologies of many cultures are carefully preserved relics of ancient times, African myths and legends are still a meaningful part of everyday life. Some African myths deal with universal themes, such as the origin of the world and the fate of the individual after death. Yet many spring from the continent's own settings, conditions, and history. Roots of African Myths and Legends The Sahara runs from east to west across the widest part of Africa, a vast desert dividing the continent into two main regions. North Africa consists of the Mediterranean coast from Morocco to Egypt and includes the valley of the Nile River as far south as Ethiopia. With strong ties to the Mediterranean and Arab worlds, North Africans felt the influence of Christianity by the A.D. 300S, and in the 700s, much of the area came under the influence of Islam.

    Extractions: Yemaya Yemaya is known under other names: Yemoja, Nana Buruku, Yembo, Olocun, etc.. In West African mythology Yemaya is a very important goddess. She rules the waters of the world, they are her blood. She was the first mother and brought fertility to the world. Since she is the spirit of water nothing can live without her. All things, plant and animal, are partly made from her. For all these reasons and more she is called the Queen of the World. Yemaya is a very primitive goddess as you can see from the above. I was only slightly paraphrasing what her own followers say about her. In the religions of Nigeria and Dahomey she has many feast days and is highly venerated. Like other water goddesses she is associated with the moon, fertility and sexuality. According to African mythology the Supreme Being created a pantheon of gods and goddesses called Orishas. The Orishas regulate the world and act as intermediaries between men and the Supreme Being. After the Supreme Being created the world He discovered that it had a large hole in it. He filled the hole with water he made from some gas clouds. At the same time he created Yemaya and gave her domain over all the waters. At night she becomes Nana Buruku, the moon, mysterious and mystical. She regulates day and night so that neither is too long. Like other moon goddesses she controls the tides and the rain. She is very beautiful and brought beauty into the world. When Yemaya married Oddua, the first man, she became the first mother. She is the mother of all the other Orishas. As a mother she brought compassion into the world. Her marriage with Oddua is the marriage of earth and water, all else is created from that. Their love is the greatest in the world and lasts until today. When their love stops earth and water will be separate again and it will be the end of the world.

    Extractions: Oshun In African mythology Oshun is often called Yalorde, which means queen. She was given this title because of her great beauty, sweetness and lively nature. Oshun has skin the color of cinnamon, radiant black eyes and silky black hair. She is the daughter of Yemaya, the goddess of all the waters, and is herself the goddess of fresh water: rivers, lakes and ponds. She has a palace under the water of a great river called Ile Tinibu. The people of her kingdom love her dearly because of the care she shows them. Oshun is the equivalent of Venus or Aphrodite in African mythology. Like them she is called "the goddess of love". Like them she is the most beautiful of all the goddesses (though some say her mother Yemaya is more beautiful). However, there are some important differences. Venus and Aphrodite are rather vain and self-centered, they can be cruel and treacherous. Oshun is best known for her kindness, which in African mythology is considered the most important quality anyone can possess. Once Yemaya threw a party to honor the Supreme Being and all the gods came except Oggun. He is the furious god of iron and war and very solitary. Yemaya sent messengers begging him to come because they could not perform the sacrifices without him. Oggun refused. Angry, Yemaya decided to go see Oggun herself. She would force him to attend and teach him a lesion he would never forget. Oshun stopped her mother saying that she would bring Oggun from the forest. All the gods were surprised. Oshun was the youngest and no one thought she could do it. At first Yemaya refused but Oshun insisted and finally was allowed to go. Thinking ahead Oshun took a jar of honey with her.
