Anuket

**Anuket** na one ancient Egyptian goddess wey dem biliv sey shi dey in charj of di pat of River Nile wey get plenti rocks an rapids (wey pipu dey kol cataracts). Dem dey worship her wel
Aqualtune

**Aqualtune** (wey live around 1665 to 1675) na one princess from Kongo Kingdom. Her papa na one big king for Kongo wey dem dey call Manikongo, but we no sabi di exact name of di king. According to di story wey dem pass down, dem talk say Aqualtune na di mama of Ganga Zumba, and na di grandma of Zumbi.

## Her tori
For 1665, Aqualtune lead about ten thousand Kongo men and women go fight for Battle of Mbwila. But her side lose di fight, and di people wey win di fight come capture her.

Dem carry her go one place wey dem call Port of Recife, wey be place wey dem dey keep slaves and work sugar factory. For there, dem sell her as "breeding slave" — meaning say di people wey buy her wan use her born pikin dem wey dem go sell or use for work. Later, dem sell her again to another sugar mill for one place wey dem call Porto Calvo, and by di time dem sell her again, she don already get belle.

After some time, Aqualtune run comot from di place wey dem enslave her. She waka go one free community wey dem call Palmares quilombo — dat na place wey runaway slaves dey live free.

For Palmares, Aqualtune come turn leader of one part of di community wey dem call Subupuira quilombo. Dat place dey for di northeast side of Palmares capital. Aqualtune born two sons — Ganga Zumba and Gana Zona — and di two of dem later become big leaders for Palmares.

Apart from her two sons, she still get one daughter wey her name na Sabina. Sabina na di mama of Zumbi, wey also be one of di most famous freedom fighters for Brazil history.

Nobody really sabi wetin happen to Aqualtune later for life. Di last tori wey people hear about her na say she die for 1675, but how she take die still be mystery.

## Wetin people remember her for
For 2015, one writer wey dem call Jarid Arraes write book about Aqualtune life. Di book join for her collection wey dem call Heroínas Negras Brasileiras em 15 cordéis — wey mean "15 Stories About Black Heroines for Brazil". Di book use poetry style wey dem dey call cordel to tell Aqualtune tori.

**Oladevi** na di goddess wey dey in charge of cholera. People wey dey for Bengal region (wey include di place wey dem dey call Bangladesh today plus West Bengal wey dey inside India) and Marwar for Rajasthan dey worship her.
Dem still sabi di goddess with other names like Olaichandi, Olabibi, and Bibima.
For Bengal side, both Hindu people and Muslim people dey respect her and worship her.

For Rajasthan side, dem dey worship her as Maa Sheetala. Dem believe say she dey help her followers from sickness like cholera, jaundice, diarrhoea, and other stomach wahala.
For Marwari tradition, dem no get one fixed way to draw her picture, but e still be like di way dem dey show Sheetala for picture.

For Bengal, Oladevi get strong place for inside di culture wey different people from different religion and tradition dey respect and follow.

## Who she be
People believe say Oladevi na di wife of Mayasura, wey be one king for old tory dem dey call mythology. Mayasura na strong builder and leader for some spirit people dem dey call Asuras, Danavas and Daityas. People wey dey worship Oladevi believe say she dey protect dem from cholera disease. Long time ago, cholera dey worry plenty community for Bengal, so dem come believe say Oladevi fit protect dem from di sickness.

For Bengali language, dem even get name for cholera wey come from Oladevi name — ola-otha or ola-utha. For dis language, "Ola" mean "dey go down" and "utha" mean "dey come up", to describe how cholera dey cause plenty toilet (diarrhoea) and vomiting.

For Hindu people, dem believe say Oladevi na different face of Goddess Parvati. Dem dey draw her as woman wey get deep yellow skin, wear blue cloth (sari), and wear plenty jewelry. Dem dey draw her with her hand stretch out, and she dey sit down with one pikin for her lap.

Oladevi no be just ordinary goddess — she get big place for Bengal people culture, both Hindu and Muslim.
Some experts dey believe say di way dem see Oladevi na like mixture of Mother Divine (big mother goddess) and Krishna, wey be one of di main gods for Hindu religion.

Di worship of Oladevi as Goddess of Cholera really show face for 19th century, when cholera sickness begin spread for di whole Indian area.

But nowadays, di worship no too strong like before because medicine and clean environment don make cholera no dey spread anyhow again.
