Mythology
Òrìṣà, mami wata, mujemuje and the folklore that grounds the romance.
The Òrìṣà
The great pantheon — Sango, Osun, Ogun, Yemoja — and how each shows up in the books. Filler copy for now; longer entries coming with each release.
Water Spirits
Mami wata, the singing dead and the reasons a Yoruba fisherman does not answer voices from the river. To be expanded.
Mujemuje
The Yoruba vampire — older than any European myth of the same shape. More to come as The Wicked Hearts Duology approaches.
