As the holiday season approaches—a time filled with reflection, gratitude, and new beginnings—it becomes even more important to reconnect with the divine energies that nourish and sustain us. For many across West Africa and the diaspora, Mami Wata, the radiant goddess of water, represents this nurturing, transformative force.

In this week’s podcast episode, I invite you into her shimmering world.

🐚 Who Is Mami Wata?

Mami Wata is not just a mermaid figure. She embodies:

  • Healing and emotional cleansing
  • Abundance and prosperity
  • Deep intuition and spiritual transformation

People across Africa and the diaspora honor her because she governs the waters—both the physical waters of rivers and oceans, and the inner waters of emotion, creativity, and intuition.

During the holiday season, when the world invites us to reflect and renew, her wisdom speaks clearly:

True abundance is found not only in what we receive, but in the emotional connections and inner clarity we cultivate.

🌺 A Simple Ritual to Invite Her Blessings

If you’d like to welcome Mami Wata’s energy into your space this season, try this gentle ritual:

  1. Fill a clean bowl with fresh water.
  2. Add flowers, shells, or any natural offering.
  3. Place the bowl on your altar or a quiet corner of your home.
  4. Whisper a prayer such as:
    “Mami Wata, bless these waters and my life with renewal, healing, and abundance.”

This simple act opens space for guidance, serenity, and flow.
