    EWE MAMI WATA AFRICAN FIGURE DENZU GOD – GHANA, TOGO, BENIN
    Ewe Denzu God Figure, Des of the Waters:
    Because of its three-headed characteristics, many anthropologists have mistakenly attributed this divinity as a “borrowed” aspect of the Indian Hindu pantheon.
    Nothing could be further from the truth.
    Denzu is an ancient and major feature in West African & Diaspora Mami Wata Vodoun.
    Denzu is a major aspect of the many anthropomorphic forms that the Mami Wata Spirit takes.
    He/she is androgynous, and is known and venerated throughout all of Togo and Benin, Ghana, Burkina Faso etc., as the crowned divinity of its royal priesthood.
    This particular aspect of Mami is often inherited through the bloodline.
    It is infamous as the deity of “bi-location”, in which it is known to take on the outer persona of its servant.
    Being one of the most awed feared, amid most powerful divinity in the entire West African & Diaspora Mami Wata Voudon pantheon, Denzu rewards its servants with wealth knowledge and spiritual transformation.
