Aziza is a word deeply rooted in West African mythology, and denotes a supernatural creature renowned for its benevolence. In African mythology, these fuzzy little spirits dwell within the depths of the forest, and were revered for their proficiency in bestowing positive magic, especially to hunters. The accounts of the Aziza existence first arise in the folklore of the Dahomey tribes in West Africa, where they are described as benevolent spirits having a fortunate guidance and forest wisdom. In most Dahomey Folklore, the Aziza for all intents and purposes are often portrayed as little creatures that look to be the African version of the fairy known in Europe. While a singular portrayal remains elusive, diverse accounts present the Aziza fairy as little humans scarcely taller than children and possessing remarkable beauty glowing with magical light. Contrary to European Fairies who are usually notorious for being chaotic and mischievous at best, spiteful and vindictive at worst, the Aziza spirits are mostly seen as benevolent creatures of the forest. The mythology says that the Aziza were leading hunters and guiding lost travelers to safety, they own profound magical abilities that were bestowed upon humans for generations.
