City of Mawu-Lisa

Mawu-Lisa is a creator deity in Gbe mythology and West African Vodun, particularly of the former Dahomey Kingdom (now Benin). It is a dual deity, formed by Mawu (alternately: Mahu, Mau), a goddess associated with the Sun, and Lisa, a god of the Moon; put together, they are an agender deity. Mawu and Lisa are the children of Nana Buluku, and are the parents of Oba Koso (Shango), known as Hebioso among the Fon. According to myth, Mawu is the sole creator of human beings from clay, while her husband Lisa was instructed by her to teach humans how to build civilization. As the myth goes, after creating the Earth and all life and everything else on it, Mawu became concerned that it might be too heavy, so she asked the primeval serpent, Aido Hwedo, to curl up beneath the earth and thrust it up in the sky. When she asked Awe, a monkey she had also created, to help out and make some more animals out of clay, he boasted to the other animals and challenged Mawu. Gbadu, one of the first Loa Mawu birthed from her love making with Lisa, saw all the chaos on earth and told her children to go out among the people and remind them that only Mawu herself can give Sekpoli - the breath of life. Gbadu instructed her daughter, Minona, to go out among the people and teach them about the use of palm kernels as omens from Mawu-Lisa. When Awe, the arrogant monkey, climbed up to the heavens to try to show Mawu that he too could give life, he failed miserably. Lisa made him a bowl of porridge with the seed of death in it and reminded him that only his wife Mawu could give life, and that she could also take it away. It became the state deity of Dahomey, but ultimately, the Mawu-Lisa dyad was not originally a Fon phenomenon, and were deities borrowed from Yoruba culture (cf. § Yoruba roots).
