Moneiba was the protector and tutelary goddess of women on the island ofHierro in theCanary Islands. The godEranoranhan played the same part for men. She formed part of the mythology of theBimbache, the aboriginal inhabitants of Hierro, who were related to theGuanches on other nearby islands and distantly to theBerber people of North Africa. The god lived on one rock, the goddess on another. They would descend to hear the prayers of the people.[1][2]
