Mawu is a West African deity of the moon.
Mawu is the goddess of the moon and the night sky, and the Fon people revere her for the chilly temperatures she gives.
She is the epitome of motherhood, teaching her people to
honor and cherish their elders' knowledge.
The sun god Liza is her twin and consort, and the two of
them produced the seven pairs of twin deities that impact the planet.
Mawu worships cowrie jewelry.
