Daughter of the Sun and Moon

Ambundu · deity · mythic prehistoric · deity

Unnamed-by-tradition daughter of the Sun (Lumbi / Kambonge) and the Moon (Mwesi / Kakwiji) in the Ambundu cosmological tradition; two-divine-parent and therefore deity-tier. Wife of Nzua dia Kimanaueze via the cross-class courtship-and-bride-price narrative that the Chatelain 1894 ethnographic collection preserves in elaborate detail. Mother of the twin demigods Sudika-Mbambi (thunder) and Kabundungulu (echo) — the wonder-children who speak from her womb and are born already armed.
