Who is Mama Aisa?
Mama Aisa is the goddess of the earth. Within the earth pantheon, the gron winti, she stands at the top, and in many accounts she counts as head of all four realms. She is described as a caring mother who loves children and cooking, but who can also be stern when she is not treated with respect.
Her husband is Loko, who is linked with trees and especially with the kankantri. Practitioners sometimes also describe Loko in the form of a snake. Together they stand for the ground beneath your feet: the yard, the house, the family and what grows there.
Mama Aisa in dreams
Aisa often shows herself in dreams as an older woman in white, sometimes in a koto with red or blue motifs. Someone who dreams of such a woman dancing, looking on calmly or giving something often reads it within the tradition as a sign from the bigisma, the elders, and from Aisa herself.
The earth itself speaks too: the yard, the ground the family home stands on, plants and what grows. A black-and-white snake in the yard, the krala sneki, is named by practitioners as an image with which Aisa is said to announce a pregnancy. Such a dream is then seen as favourable.
What Aisa asks
Aisa is honoured with respect, purity and care for the yard. Practitioners mention sweet things such as orgeade and molasses, and white and blue as her colours. Someone who sees her in a dream is sometimes advised in practice to live quietly and purely for a while, without adornment, and to take a bath.
For Aisa carriers a trefu is often mentioned, such as white rice or smooth-skinned fish. But trefu are personal: which one applies to you is determined within the tradition by someone with knowledge, not from a list or a dream. Dreamkin only gives examples to show how it works.

Is Mama Aisa the most important winti?
In many accounts she is: she heads the earth winti and, for many, all four realms. Above all winti stands Anana, the Creator.
Should I stop eating rice if I dream of Aisa?
Not automatically. Rice is often mentioned as a trefu for Aisa carriers, but trefu are personal and determined by someone with knowledge, not by a dream.
