Aiwel

In African mythology, Aiwel is revered as the founder of the hereditary priesthood known as the Spear Masters among the Dinka people of Sudan. Born to a human mother and a water spirit, Aiwel’s early life was marked by loss, as his mother passed away when he was still a child. He then went to live with his father, the water spirit, in a river. Upon reaching adulthood, Aiwel returned to his village accompanied by a vibrant, multicolored ox named Longar. From that moment onward, he was known as Aiwel Longar.
