Nomkhubulwane

The Princess of Heaven and the lady of the mist, she is a shapeshifting goddess who appears to the worthy as a woman, a lion, or a snake clothed in the colors of the rainbow. She is the mistress of the rain and the patron of the corn, a deity who demands that the women of the village plant a special field in her honor to ensure the fertility of the land. She represents the nurturing spirit of the atmosphere and the divine grace that falls as dew upon the morning grass. She is the bridge between the celestial court and the earthy needs of the field.
