Origin

Mortal Life

Nisha was originally a mortal woman was reborn as a goddess after years of roaming the lands of her hometown. Her origin story is one of profound transformation and divine intervention. In the vast expanse of the cosmos, a cry of despair echoed—a human soul torn apart by the cruelties of a patriarchal world. This cry resonated through various realms, catching the attention of deities from different corners of the universe.

Ninshara was once a human woman living in an ancient seaside merchant tribe in Gujarat, India, born as Nisha. Her father, a merchant from Africa, settled in Gujarat, bringing with him the rich traditions and stories of his homeland. Her life was a tapestry of diverse influences, where the rhythms of African drums mingled with the chants of Indian prayers.

Tragically, her life was marked by violence and sorrow when Greek travelers pillaged her town, killing her parents. She was kidnapped, raped, and became pregnant. Despite her trauma, she found a renewed purpose when she gave birth to a beautiful daughter. This child, a symbol of hope and love, became the center of Ninshara's world. She devoted herself to her daughter, finding solace in motherhood.

However, her village was once again plundered, and her daughter was killed and she was left to die. Leaving her soul to cry in agony and despair, wander for centuries.

A Wandering Soul

After her tragic death, Ninshara's soul was bound to the land of Gujarat for hundreds of years. Her spirit lingered, watching over the area and its inhabitants with a mixture of sorrow and love. Over time, she grew deeply attached to the residents and their descendants, feeling a profound connection to the community that had once been her home.

Among the many souls she watched over, one child stood out—a little girl who bore a striking resemblance to Ninshara's own lost daughter. This young girl, Amaru, full of life and innocence, captured Ninshara's heart. She watched the girl grow into a strong and compassionate woman, much like herself. This woman eventually became a mother, and Ninshara's protective instincts grew even stronger.

As the years passed, danger once again approached the town. This time, it was not Greek bandits but another threat that cast a shadow over the peaceful lives of the villagers. It is unknown the exact battle that was brought to the shores of Gujarat. The history of Gujarat is marked by numerous invasions and conflicts, such as the conquest by Alauddin Khalji in 1299, which brought plunder and massacre to the region. Such historical turmoil often left communities vulnerable to violence and upheaval.

A Cry to the Heavens

What is known is that when the knives were at the necks of Amaru’s children, and the threat of death loomed over the town, Ninshara's spirit could not bear to witness another tragedy. Her anguish and desperation reached a crescendo, and she cried out with all her might.

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, where the boundaries of time and belief intertwine, a cry echoed. It was a cry of despair from a human soul torn apart by the cruelties of a world dictated by patriarchal norms. This cry was so profound, so resonant, that it pierced the veils of various realms, catching the attention of deities from different corners of the universe.

Ninshara's anguished cry reached the heavens. Her anguished soul cried out to the gods and goddesses of the land, demanding the power to protect those she loved. Oshun, the African goddess of rivers and love, was moved by Ninshara's plight. She reached out to Isis, the Egyptian goddess of magic and motherhood, and Hecate, the Greek goddess of the moon and witchcraft. Together, they decided to create a new deity who would embody the strength, resilience, and grace of women everywhere. Under the moonlit sky, the trio combined their powers. Oshun, the African goddess of rivers and love; Isis, the Egyptian goddess of magic and motherhood; and Hecate, the Greek goddess of the moon and witchcraft, answered her call. Together, under the moonlit sky, they performed a celestial alchemy. Oshun infused her with the essence of water and love, Isis granted her powerful magic, and Hecate channeled the energy of the moon. From this divine combination of celestial alchemy, Ninshara emerged as a new goddess, embodying the strength, resilience, and grace of women everywhere. They granted Ninshara the ability to manifest physically in times of great need, allowing her to protect her beloved community directly. Ninshara, whose name combines the Sumerian term Nin (meaning "lady" or "goddess") with the Akkadian word Shara (meaning "womb"), symbolizes nurturing and protection.
