Added DiffLines:

* OurNymphsAreDifferent: The Red Mountain along the eastern Casamance River in Gambia was the domain of three powerful spirit women known as the Bori. They are known by locals to cause mysterious phenomena when anyone approaches the mountain without proper precautions. The great Soninke wizard-king Dinga asked them to put his vital essence in a jar along with Marain Jagu’s in order to test his magical prowess.

Mande mythology had a significant impact on the mythology of surrounding peoples such as the Dogon, Fulani, Serer, and Wolof. Epics such as Sundiata and the Dausi are the most commonly known Mande legends. Mande traditional beliefs have survived to varying degrees of success into the modern-day. Despite the attempts of Islamic fundamentalists such as the Fulani in the 18th and 19th centuries belief in the power of ancestral spirits, witches, bush spirits, and magical charms lingers. Pagan heroes became "Walis" or Muslim saints. Cannibal-Witches became a cursed clan of sorcerers who dared drink the blood of the Prophet Mohammed. Witch doctors became "Marabouts" or Muslim sages. Charms formerly made up of plant and animal matter charged with Nyama became Gris-Gris bags inscribed with Quranic verses for similar effects.
