BAYANI
Yoruba Goddess
Also known as Babayanmi, Banyani, Bayanni, Bayoni, Bayonni
Goddess of Hats?
She is the sister of Shango and the Goddess of a ceremonial headpiece encrusted with cowrie shells.
We are not sure how this works. Is she just the custodian or does she live inside this splendid piece of headgear imparting her knowledge to the wearer?
