Interesting myths. I have water fae in my End of Days — but they are mostly unfriendly … and hungry! Thanks for visiting my blog. Don’t miss my own J post. 🙂

Like all Fae, the Jengu are complicated and not merely good or evil. Your water Fae sound interesting 🙂

I love mermaids and I know I’d enjoy stories with the Jengu. Very interesting. I love the wooly hair! Thanks for introducing me to them…

Mermaids were my favorite when I was little, so I love learning about new myths and their origins around the world.

One of my dreams is to help build water infrastructure in Africa to populations that don’t have access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). Perhaps I need to engage these water spirits to help me achieve this goal! Nice post, Ronel!
