Nothing exist without water. All life is originated from water. But our life also originates in water. Without woman there's no life. Mami-Wata (Mother Water) is an ancient African water goddess. Water spirits, mermaids and gods all over the world have their origin in Mami Wata. In the stories she takes travelers into her world to give them spiritual insight. Then she puts them back on the bank. She is a real sea bitch, mother and femme fatale. The double tail symbolizes that contradiction in every woman.
