Ancient History
20th Century
For centuries tribes in the Congo worshiped the Vodu goddess known as Mamalu until the 1950's when white settlers convinced the tribes that Mamalu did not exist. Furious Mamalu blamed the jungle adventurer Lorna the Jungle Queen as being responsible for stealing her worshipers. She influenced a tribesman named Kabu with offers be her mate if he performed a sacrifice to bring her to Earth. Lorna attempted to stop Mamalu but it was not until that Mamalu decided to take Lorna's companion Greg Knight as a mate did her plan fail as the jealous Kabu seemingly slew her.[4]

Notes
- In West Africa the Òrìshà or Vodu religions are not gathering their gods in pantheons like we know for ancient European believe systems like Thor's Asgardians or Hercules' Olympians. Instead every family has one special Òrìshà or Vodu they worship. Said fact leads to the result that there are unmanageable accounts of Òrìshàs and countless variations in stories, origins, manifestations and interpretations in West Africa.
- In the Marvel Universe 'Vodun' is depicted as some kind of magic[6][7] -especially as 'Black Magic'.[7][8][9][10][11] It is also suggested that 'Vodun' has or had human sacrifices a couple of times,[12][13] but in reality 'Voodooists' sacrife production animals, alcohol and even vegetables. It is also shown misleadingly that the oracle uses bones to predict the future.[14] In fact the oracle uses kauri mussels.
