It's the Day of Selene / Luna's Day / #Monday! 🌛
The dual deity Mawu-Lisa came to the #Fon pantheon from the Aja people. In the dual Mawu-Lisa, #Mawu is female and Lisa male. Their union is regarded as the basis of the universal order. The Fon identify Mawu with the #moon, night, fertility, motherhood, gentleness, forgiveness, rest, and joy while Lisa is the sun. They are the parents of #Hevioso, God of Thunder.

It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇
For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. Papa #Legba, a god or lwa often represented as a phallus or as a horned man with a prominent phallus, is the youngest son of #Mawu. It is only through contact with Legba that it becomes possible to contact the other gods, for he is the guardian at the door of the spirits. #PapaLegba originated in the historic West African kingdom of #Dahomey in present-day #Benin.
