Origin/Birth
The exact origin of Nzambici is unknown, but there are multiple theories;


 * 1) She was created by Nzambi a Mpungu. As the creator god, it is stated that he controls all and it is therefore feasible that he created Nzambici.
 * 2) She always existed. She is a primordial spirit, and is stated to be eternal. The only problem with this theory is that Nzambi a Mpungu is stated to be the only omnipotent being within the mythology.

After the Creation of the Universe, Nzambi a Mpungu married Nzambi a Mpungu and became the "queen" of spirits; she was given the role of the spirit of earth.
