The West African Traditional Region had a great goddess named Ezenwanyi. SHE of Ten thousand names. Ezenwanyi is the goddess of the seven seas and is known to be the most powerful and wise goddess in all the land.

Ezenwanyi’s powers are vast and many. She controls the sea’s tides and currents and protects ships from dangerous storms. She also heals any illness or injury with her magical powers. Ezenwanyi protects all living things; all who know her feel her compassion and love.

One day, a group of sailors was caught in a terrible storm at sea. They cried out to Ezenwanyi for help, and she heard their pleas. With a wave of her powerful tail, Ezenwanyi calmed the storm and guided the sailors safely to shore. Her strength and kindness amazed the sailors, who knew they owed her their lives.
