Mami Wata is the bringer of fortune and of misfortune. She has always been a goddess so she has no understanding of the human condition. To her there is no difference between good and evil.
she is sometimes portrayed as a mermaid or a beautiful mysterious woman. Stories tell of her abducting swimmers or fishermen, taking them to her world then letting them return to the real world. They would return wealthy, more beautiful than they left and have a greater spiritual understanding.
Other stories tell of fishermen taking her possessions, she would appear in their dreams asking for her possessions back, if he agreed she would make him promise to only be intimate with her, with each meeting he would be granted wealth and youth. If he didn't ill fortune would be bought down upon him.
