Nessa, the Wavemother
Nessa is the goddess of the Sea, Tides and Currents. She is a patron of sailors and fishermen, and her followers seek her aid for safe passage and bountiful catches. She embodies the ever-changing nature of the sea and is known to be quite impulsive. Her symbol is a whirlpool.
Nessa represents the wild and unpredictable nature of the sea. She is revered by sailors and fishermen, who look to her for protection and guidance during their voyages. Her followers also seek her favour for bountiful catches.
Nessa is often depicted as a mermaid or a woman with flowing hair and a trident, riding on the waves or controlling the tides. She is known to be impulsive and unpredictable, which can sometimes lead to chaos and destruction in the natural world. Her symbol, a whirlpool, represents the power and danger of the sea.
Nessa's temples are often located near the coast, with altars dedicated to her offerings and prayers for safe passage. Her priests and priestesses are often sailors themselves and perform rituals and ceremonies on board ships to appease her and ensure a successful voyage.
Despite her chaotic nature, Nessa is not entirely without compassion. She has been known to save shipwrecked sailors and offer protection during storms, but her help always comes at a price. Her favour can be fickle and unpredictable, as is the nature of the sea itself.
