Cryptid of the Day: Mamlambo
Description: The Zulu people describe a giant snake like creature called the Mamlambo, which means “goddess of the river”. Though a legend, newspapers in 1997 reported stories of people seeing the snake in the Mzintlava River in South Africa.

!! ️SCHOOL WILL NEVER TEACH YOU THIS👇🏿
|| THE AFRICAN ORIGIN OF THE NAME ISRAEL ||
The teachings of Bundu Dia Kongo.
Ne MUANDA NSEMI teaches the Makesa mu Nzila Kongo: the mystery of the name, because the name is the carrier of evil and beneficial influences to the one who bears it.
The name is also linked to a person's state of being.
Como example: with Zulu Makeba, with MBEMBA ZULU, with NKEMBO WA MONESUA, with NSANSUKULU A KANDA, YAYA VITA KIMPA, MFUMU KIMBANGU, with MUANDA NSEMI, NAVITA NGOLO, MFUKA FUAKAKA MUZEMBA etc.
Ne MUANDA NSEMI also teaches Makesa mu Nzila Kongo that speaking French, English is not synonymous with being intellectual.
Africans have become, complexly, foreign languages fanatics. Africans believe that giving a French, English or Hebrew name would have more meaning than in their mother tongue.
Example:
-that one called PEDRO thinks it's better to be called a stone than to be called TADI in his mother tongue which is KIKONGO.
- whoever is called ELOHIM believes this designation is divine in origin, but refuses to be called ELIMA in their language, while ELOHIM= ELIMA in Kikongo.
.
Ne MUANDA NSEMI teaches the Makesa mu Nzila Kongo that the word KELIMA means a Messenger God, a Genius, an Angel. When the letter 'K' falls, KELIMA becomes ELIMA, in the plural BIKELIMA: the flashing, the SEZIMA, the SELIMA.
.
Elima word expansion, adding letters. Oh give the words Elohima Elohim in Hebrews
Eli, El, stands for ELIMA, Kelima.
Give names like: EL Fatah, EL Chadai, ELION.
The abbreviation " EL " is also in the name of God, Archangels, Prophets in the Hebrew language as: Deus Yave Israel. Archangel Michael, Michël, Raphael, and other names such as: Ishmael, Samuël, Daniël, Emmanuel, Ezequiël...
.
Kelima, Elima is synonymous with God of Simbi, Nomo, a messenger God, a Genius of Nature, an Angel, a Radiant of Light.
No more no less On the cross Jesus shouted Elima (=Eli), Elima (=Éli), why have you forsaken me?
.
A Kelima, an Elima is a Great Mulimu, a Great Spirit of Nature: Each Elima has its own name:
And HOGU BATALA, OUR KAMBISI, KOLOKOSO, OUR KINZOLA, OLONGO, OUR MANDOMBE KALI, LUEZI (LUEJI, LUEJ, RUEJ) , RA, ISISI, MANATA LUDI etc.. These are some famous Elima from Egyptian BUKONGO.
.
Isis stands for Isisi: a goddess (an Elima) of Ancient Egypt.
.
Ra is a male Elima (+), isisi a female (-).
IS, RA, EL giving Israel. It is the fusion of positive (Ra) and negative (isisi), the union of man and woman gives an androgynous Elima (EL), both male and female. An equal Elima is called Mahungu, Malunga, Ilunga, Complete Being, made in the image of the Great God KONGO KALUNGA.
.
The holy book of Kongo (MAKONGO) religion teaches that Kana was the land of High Priest MELCHISEDEK.
Mukana verb means Nkua Vema, an enthusiastic, a passionate, a jealous, a fanatic.
Kikana is fanaticism: Bakana ba Nzambi are fanatic of God, KANA, KANANA country.
Originally Kana and Madian were inhabited by blacks
Midian was inhabited by the High Priest, Gestro (Yetelo), this High Priest of Bukongo teaches Moses to contact the Angel of the people of Israel who is the God of Israel.
Kana was inhabited by High Priest Melchisedek, this High Priest of Bukongo teaching Hibrahim, Abraham to enter into communion with God of Israel.
.
In kikongo language the sun is called Ntangu lowa the Great Nabi Kongo say the heart of the sun is called KISEDEKI.
-so MAMBU MELE KISEDEKI i mean problems went to the heart of the sun. The word MELE is a Kikongo verb form from the verb KUENDA which means to go.
.
In Bukongo, a Great Nabi Kongo that serves as a transmission channel between the Assemblies of God (Temple) and the Heart of the Sun, bears the grand opening title of Ne MELE KISEDEKI.
.
The bible says Melchisedik king of Salem brought bread and wine. He was a sacrifice of a very high God. He bless Abraham by the most high God
Ibrahim (Abraham) gave Dime to Mechisedek (Genesis 14: 18-20)
So here is Abraham, the first prophet of God of Israel) who is blessed by a High Priest black a Great Nabi Kongo, Ne MELE KISEKEDI.
Abraham father of the faith of the white Hebrews pay Dime to the Priest of the Most High God Ne MELE KISEDEKI King and Priest of KANA we will distort in Kanan Canaan because of their variants Kanana.
- Thus Abraham (Ibrahim) imitating copying the language of the people of Kana (THE BAKONGO) and distorting the graft in the Hebrew language, these words distort the source in Kikongo
- in Kikongo language
Excerpt from the book The Mysteries of KIKONGO
Written by NE MUANDA NSEMI Nlongi' to KONGO.

The problem with Elizabeth Olsen and not Chris Hemsworth or Chadwick Boseman is the later two are the same race as their characters but Elizabeth Olsen isn’t. It would be like casting a white actress to play Storm and a Latina actress to play Jubilee
Example #18 of Selective Wokeness: People justify the existence of "race" to further their own victim narrative, then don't even know how to apply it to others, because, oh right, "race" is a racist paradigm that has no actual meaning in real life and, oh, also, they don't give a shit about learning about the ethnic diversity of others.
I think that my absolutely favorite part of this entire conversation has been the continued avoidance of any person to name what "race" Romani belong to, but they've got a lot to say about them not being white.
Because you decided you aren't related to your Indo-European cousins, but indigenous Europeans and non-Aryan, Mongolian Europeans are both white because... Fuck understanding the ethnic diversity of Europe... Or Africa and Asia, it seems...
Tumblr media
There will be no selective progressivism.
No compartmentalized wokeness.
No limited-time-only empathy.
I asked for a South African Zulu or Xhosa Black Panther cast fancast. I didn't ask if you thought it was necessary.
I asked for a Jewish Moon Knight fancast. I didn't ask if you thought it was necessary.
I asked for a Scandinavian fancast of Loki, Thor, Odin, Heimdall, Valkyrie (omg, black people? Doesn't that break your "cast as the same race" rule?). I didn't ask if you thought it was necessary. (You really think you get to decide that native Scandinavians and Uralic people [who the UN legally protects in the same group as native Americans, South American tribes, and the Ainu of Japan] can't be discriminated against - even though they and Inuits are THE voice of indigenous Artic People's human rights - BECAUSE their gods have been culturally appropriated and whitewashed for centuries? Defending against cultural appropriation has an expiration date?! So it's not an issue when Marvel casts blond, English Chris Hemsworth doing an English accent as their red-headed God? You know redheads, right? That genetic marker "white people" have demonized for centuries, BECAUSE it was hair color of indigenous native Europeans who were worshipping their indigenous native gods for centuries in their indigenous native homelands? And then when those same "white people" converted to Christianity, they just switched to a religious connotation, calling red hair the mark of a Devil. Yeah, that red hair? Tell me MORE about how you don't think we need to respect the history of the people who were burned at the stake or boiled alive slowly so that they'd have enough time before their deaths to turn from their red-headed God and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.)
I asked for an East African (Somalian, Rwandan, Kenyan, godforbid Ethiopian) Storm fancast. I didn't ask if you thought it was necessary. You think it's wrong for me to fancast Doctor Doom with a Spaniard because you consider an ethnicity made up of Arab, Jewish, Visigoth, and Basque as "white" and "Romani aren't white"...?But Halle Berry, a half-white American who did nothing culturally significant in her performance of her East African Goddess-Queen character ISN'T classist, colorist, and racist negligence because "a Black actor played a Black character."
Also, a Latina COULD play Jubilee because there are millions of Chinese Latinas. AND bringing up Jubilee just shows you can't recognize Southeast Asians when you see them, so you didn't know, nor care, that the X-Men movies casted a Vietnamese girl to play Chinese.
Because you CARE so much about culture of the actor shining through in the characters... As long as it's your ethnicity.
If Marvel is "problematic," it has been problematic since 1964.
You don't get to DECIDE Marvel suddenly became problematic the moment it affected your ethnicity.
I asked for an equally Jewish Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Magneto fancast. I'm sorry that your people are largely Christianity, Islam, or Hindu-based religion. Go find two Jewish Romani actors to play the Twins and stop playing that "we faced unique persecution" violin as if Hitler didn't throw you both into the fire. I didn't ask if you thought it was necessary.
If you feel you are owed more respect from the MCU and the fanbase, do the bare minimum and respect others. Because there will be NO selective progressivism. There will be no compartmentalized wokeness.

Eight of Pentacles. Art by Taylor Hultquist-Todd, from Myths & Legends: An Illustrated Tarot.
Eight is Inkosazana, the Zulu goddess of fertility. She’s a shapeshifter - sometimes taking the form of a mermaid or an animal. According to legends, she will not interact with Zulu men - those who meet her gaze are said to fall ill shortly after.

African Gods: 10 Mythological Figures You've Probably Never Heard Of
There are many gods across the African continent that it is almost impossible to enumerate them all. This is hardly surprising given that the African continent is home to more than 1.2 billion people spread across more than 3,000 tribes and 30.37 million km² of land.
In this article, you will learn about ten powerful African Gods from across the continent. The names of these mythological figures inspire veneration, devoutness, and even fear.
1. Oya  
The first African God on our list is the goddess Oya. Oya is the goddess of weather, especially tornadoes, lightning, destructive rainstorms, and fire. She is also the goddess of female leadership, persuasive charm, and transformation. 
She is a fierce warrior and strong protector of women. When women find themselves in difficult situations, they call on Oya to come to their aid.
The ferocious and protective deity is worshipped by the Yoruba in Nigeria and is regarded as one of the most powerful gods in the Macumba religion. The Macumba religion is also practised in Brazil and parts of South America.
2. Nyami Nyami 
Our second African God, Nyami Nyami, is from Southern Africa. Also known as the Zambezi River god or Zambezi Snake spirit, Nyami Nyami is one of the most important Gods to the Tonga people of Zambia and Zimbabwe.  
This African God is often depicted as being a dragon-like creature with a snake’s body and the head of a fish.  
According to mythology, Nyami Nyami resides in the Zambezi River and controls life in and on the water together with his wife Kitapo. He protects the Tonga people and gives them sustenance during difficult times.
3. Kibuka 
Kibuka is the war god of the Buganda tribe from East Africa. He and his brother Mukasa are the two principal gods of the Baganda. According to some sources, Kibuka provides counsel to the Baganda kings during periods of war and strife.   
Locals believe that both Kibuka and his older brother, Mukasa, used to be mortals who later attained godhood.
4. Mawu-Lisa  
Mawu-Lisa is the primary deity for the Fon people in Bennin and parts of West Africa. This complex deity is a dualistic figure combining the female Mawu and the male Lisa.  
Among the Fon, Mawu is associated with the moon, night, fertility, motherhood, gentleness, forgiveness, rest, and joy. Lisa is associated with the complementary qualities of the sun, day, heat, work, power, war, strength, and toughness.
5. Mami Wata
Next on the list of powerful African Gods is Mami Wata. Mami Wata is a water spirit that is sometimes depicted as having the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a fish. However, according to mythology, the deity can transform her body into any form of her choice.  
Mami Wata is venerated in Western, Central, and Southern Africa as well as in the African diaspora in North and South America.  
Tumblr media
6. Inkosazana
Inkosazana is the young and beautiful goddess of rain and agriculture for the Zulu people of South Africa. She is a member of the Zulu pantheon of gods and is often referred to as the “heavenly princess.”
In the Zulu people’s traditional religion, Inkosazana is associated with agriculture and growth. She is also the patron goddess of girls and young unmarried women.    
According to legend if any man looks at her directly, they will fall sick and die.  
7. Anansi
Anansi is a West African god who is often portrayed as a trickster. His name translates to Spider and he is often depicted as such. Ananzi is considered to be the god of all knowledge of stories. He is also one of the most important characters of West African, African American, and Caribbean folklore. 
The deity is renowned for his ability to outsmart and triumph over more powerful opponents through his ingenuity. He is credited with teaching humans how to take care of themselves through agriculture and hunting.
8. Tano 
Tano is the God of War and Strife and is one of the most important gods in the Ashanti mythology of Ghana. He is also a river god and is represented by the Tano River which is located in Ghana. He is known as a nature god and a war god.  
Unlike most war deities in mythology, Tano does not get along with death and is his rival.  
9. Oshun
Among the Yoruba people of southwestern Nigeria and Benin, Oshun is the goddess (orisha) of water, purity, fertility, love, and sensuality. Oshun’s energy can heal and create life, but she can also take it away if she feels that we are ungrateful for what she has given. She represents everything lush, fertile, and juicy in our world.
Followers of the goddess call on Oshun for help with fertility and to cure ailments when modern medicine doesn’t work. 
10. Horus
No list of African Gods would be complete without an Egyptian god. Horus is the god of the sky and kingship. He is one of the earliest and most significant Egyptian mythological figures.  
He is often depicted as a falcon-headed man wearing a double crown. Horus serves as the provider and protector of the Egyptian people, especially the royalty of Egypt. He is the avenger of the wrongs and the defender of order.

What are Team AZRE’s parents’ allusions?
Adam’s:
Cerise is the cursed rose from Beauty and the Beast. She shares Adam’s rose imagry, her emblem is actually Adam’s but without the thorned stem, she has a more pink colouring for the pink rose compared to Adam’s pure red rose, and it was her “wilting” (aka passing away) that pushed Adam to becoming more like a beast out of grief. 
Alon is the Sarangay from Phillipine mythology. He’s a bull Faunus with the horns Adam inherited, is related to water similar to how the Sarangay is meant to be specifically half water buffalo, and he wears a blue jeweled earring in his ear as a nod to his allusion. 
Obviously, Ghira and Hajimu are his adopted parents, but Ghira’s allusion is still Bagheera from the Jungle Book to fit in with the White Fang’s allusions. 
Hajimu’s allusion in the White Fang is Raksha, the mother wolf, while her personal allusion is okuri-ōkami from the Kanto and Kinki regions of Japan. She’s a wolf Faunus, and the dual thoughts of the okuri-ōkami is that it will eat travellers who fall over, but will protect those who treat it right, which is pretty fitting for Hajimu’s caring yet fierce personality. 
Zanthus’:
Xanthe is Eurystheus from Greek Mythology. He’s the more Greek inspired character in Zanthus’ family, and while he’s not the king, he’s still very much the one in charge of the family. He’s also the trainer of Zanthus and Argenta, who is Hercules, and even trains Argenta more when Zanthus runs away to ensure she’s the stronger sibling, putting her through her own “trials” while Zanthus was pretty much left for dead.
Sable, or Sigal, is Tzipphorah from Biblical myths. I designed her to have more of a design inspired by Jordan clothing, where Midian people like Tzipphorah would’ve lived, and gave her a sand based Semblance to allude to the desert. Her emblem is a cat with the tail in the shape of a shepherd’s hook, similar to the staff that Moses used himself. Her story doesn’t really have much in common with Tzipphorah, so her allusion isn’t as strong as others.
Ruri’s:
Hisui is Takemikazuchi, a deity in Japanese mythology. His last name comes from the Takemikazuchi shrine in Kashima, with Hisui also being considered as a lord in his city. It directly connects to Ruri’s allusion; Namazu, where Takemikazuchi is shown to subdue the catfish, alluding to Hisui’s attempts to rein back Ruri’s desires of freedom, though not as much as his wife. 
Shinju is the maneki-neko, or the beckoning cat, in Japanese folklore. Her name, background in a family-run business and design all allude to her wealthy character, same as the maneki-neko being connected to wealth and business. She’s also very business oriented, being the one to really bring up and run their city. She’s left handed too, a nod to how the left hand being raise on a maneki-neko is meant to bring in more business.
Eirian’s:
Icheku is Shaka Zulu. His last name is Zulu, he’s inspired around the Zulu clothing and culture, and his ram Faunus heritage is actually a fun little nod to the famous horned battle formation that Shaka Zulu commonly used. 
Clementine is based off two allusions. Her allusion with her other two sisters is Macha, one of the three figures that make up the Morrígan; which is her mother’s allusion. Her Huntress profession and experience in battles leads towards the goddess of war, and one of the versions of Macha is the daughter of Aed the Red; alluding to her father whom Clementine got her orange hair from. 
Her personal allusion is Boudicca. It fits in with her old team allusion theme of historical war leaders, like her husband being Shaka Zulu, but her orange hair and more Scottish names alludes more to her personal allusion.

Zantedeschia aethiopica, calla lily, white or common arum lily (English); wit varkoor (Afrikaans); intebe (Xhosa) ihlukwe (Zulu), native to southern Africa in Lesotho, South Africa, and Eswatini.
Clade:Monocots
Order:Alismatales
Family:Araceae
Genus:Zantedeschia
The cultivar 'Green Goddess' is listed in the New Zealand National Pest Plant Accord, which proscribes its cultivation, sale, and distribution.
Zantedeschia is named after Professor Zantedeschi, probably Giovanni Zantedeschi,1773-1846, an Italian physician and botanist, although there is some uncertainty about this. The name aethiopica is not directly related to Ethiopia. In classical times it meant south of the known world i.e. south of Egypt and Libya. Several southern African plants were given this specific epiphet early on.
Traditionally the plant is boiled and eaten (cooking destroys the toxins). Raw plant material causes swelling of the throat because of microscopic, sharp calcium oxalate crystals. The leaves are also traditionally used as a poultice, a treatment for headaches, as a dressing to treat wounds, sores and boils, or to treat rheumatism and gout. Boiled rhizomes mixed with honey have been usedfor bronchitis and asthma.

Mbaba Mwana Waresa is the Zulu goddess of fertility, rainbows, agriculture, and rain. This was fun to make because I only have primary colored ink...

Pagan Deities
This part is separated into “deity categories” where I will only be listing the deities in each category because they may overlap and I unfortunately don’t have the time to go through every single deity, if any interest you by name feel free to look them up, but the categories should be helpful if you want to find a deity in a specific category,  there are 15 deity categories from the website I used and I want to make sure my sources are good, so any feedback with corrections or additions you think I should add to it are greatly appreciated, especially since not every culture is represented in every category :)
