River Mumma
River Mumma is a powerful figure in Jamaican folklore, a mystical water spirit believed to dwell in rivers, pools, and hidden waterfalls. Often described as a beautiful woman with long flowing hair, sometimes taking on serpentine or mermaid-like qualities, River Mumma is said to guard the waters and the secrets beneath their surface. She can bring fortune, healing, and protection to those who approach with respect, but misfortune to the greedy or careless, making her a symbol of balance, reverence for nature, and the deep spiritual connection between the land, water, and people in Caribbean storytelling.
