HISTORY

Oshunmare is the rainbow serpent in African Yoruba mythology. Riding on Oshunmare's back, Mawu created the living land Ifé (Earth, or more specifically Africa) and gave it consciousness by imbuing the land with Lido, her own life-force. It is not know if Oshunmare and Mawu actually existed or if they are merely myths.
