“African Spirit Series II” by Ricardo Chávez-Méndez
Inkosazana is the personification of
nature, the African goddess of agriculture. She is sometimes referred to as
Nomkhubulwane and Her dwelling place is in the rivers and the forests
surrounding them. She is a very popular and much loved goddess who is known by
Her people as Lady Heaven who rules the celestial bodies and the lives
of women and girls. She is always young because She has not children of Her
own. She is responsible primarily for cereal grains which is an important
element of the Zulu diet. And, as the rain goddess, She is often associated with
rainbows.
In fact, She can manifest as a
rainbow, a snake, a mermaid, a beautiful white woman, or as the life-giving
rain, but She is not commonly seen. It is said that the primitive men
knew her. No one existing at the present time ever saw her...or perhaps they did
and knew it not. As the deity of agriculture, She is called upon in the
Spring to bring fertility to the land; as the sender of rains for the
growing crops and protects the women and girls who hoe the fields, but for the
season to go well it is necessary when hoeing the field of Inkosazana for
the women to get rid of any ill feelings they may have towards others.

Stop misleading our people. Nomkhubulwano is not White. For the fact that you are not even from the Zulu Nation and you did not do your research very well, stop writing nonsense.
