Description
Vedenemo ("mother of waters") is the Karelian Goddess of water. It resembles a mermaid with the body of a fish, the torso and the head of a human woman.
Like the Greek siren, she sings and seduces people into the dark depths. Fishermen offered their first catch to appease Vedenemo, and seeing her was considered a very bad omen.
