Nunde

Goddess of Truth
Benin

Nunde, the bold, outspoken wife of Benin lwa (deity) Legba, was feeling neglected by her husband. Even with several wives his head easily turned. So Nunde lived her truth, took her own lover, and became her own best friend.

Nunde’s Guidance

Get real. What is your truth? Truth telling matters. Being able to hear the truth matters just as much.

Embodiment

Tell the truth. Each person has their own version. Speak yours. Words have impact.

Remember that we all have triggers. Think before you speak and listen with compassion. Be gentle and stay calm in truth-telling conversations

Goddess Declaration
