Aziza
Aziza are a species of fae found in African mythology.
Description[]
An Aziza, for all intents and purposes, looks to be the African version of the fae that are well known throughout Europe. They are diminutive humanoids, with wings like insects, and possessed of remarkable beauty, often glowing with magical light.
Their style of dress, in addition, is likened to that of African tribes. Conversely, others envision them intertwined with nature, sporting iridescent butterfly wings and skin etched with the intricate patterns of ancient tree bark.
Overview[]
The Aziza is a creature with origins in Dahomey mythology, legend and folklore. In particular, accounts of its existence first arise within the mythology, legend and folklore of West Africa's Dahomey tribes. They are considered to be spirits who were present before humans learned to navigate the wilderness.
Unlike their European counterparts, the Aziza are described as benevolent African nature spirits. Whether perceived as a singular entity or a collective, Aziza encapsulates the essence of the forest’s power and enigma, extending aid and wisdom to those who honor its sacred domain.
