Mujaji was among the Orisha, the pantheon of Wakanda. Mujaji was a goddess of sustenance, and would be beseeched by the mortals to fed them in times of hunger.^[2]

The Orisha, including Mujaji, originated during immeorial times before the land of Wakanda even had a name. When the pilgrims who traveled to this land entered in conflict with the native beasts that lived on it, the Originators, the heroes that rose among the humans were ascended to gods on faith. The humans and the Orisha defeated the originators and banished them to the Nether-Realms beyond a group of gates. As part of their duty, the Orisha became guardians of these gates.^[1]

• Apparently, Mujaji gave Wakanda its name, since she was described by shamans as "who named us."^[2]
• The Modjadji are "rain queens" from the Balobedu's mythology.^[3][4] The mutant Ororo Munroe, known as Storm of the X-Men descended from Ayesha of Balobedu, the rain queen from Hyborian Age,^[5] she was queen of Wakanda and was identified as a goddess of Wakanda named Hadari Yao/Hadari-Yao ("Walker of Clouds" in ancient Alkamite).^[6][7]
