SPEAKER_02: Hey, it's Jenny. We're currently gearing up for a brand new season of Womanica. Until then, we're bringing you our favorite episodes featuring villains, troublemakers, magic, and mystery in honor of October. Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Womanica. Today's episode originally aired in our Witches and Saints month in October of 2019. Today we're talking about a Berber queen who fought against Islamic expansion in North Africa during the seventh century. She's legendary for using mystical powers to defend her homeland from invasion. We're talking about the one and only Kahina. It's unclear exactly when Kahina was born, but she lived in the seventh century. Her birth name was something like Diya, meaning the beautiful gazelle. Kahina is an Arabic title meaning prophetess, seer, or witch. Most of what we know about Kahina comes from Arab historians who lived after her death and wrote about the Muslim conquest of Africa. Many of those historians cite Kahina as a Jewish sorceress who descended from Ethiopian Jews. Some say she was Christian and drew her power from a religious relic. Still others say that she practiced the Imazan faith, an indigenous North African religion in which followers worshiped the sun and moon. Kahina grew up as a princess of the Jarawa tribe, a part of the larger Zenata tribe with pre-Islamic North African Berbers. Kahina's father or uncle was a famous freedom fighter and leader himself. Some stories say that when she was young, she married a man who had oppressed her people and murdered him on their wedding night out of revenge. Obviously, we can't know for sure, but Kahina has been described as tall, with long hair she wore in dreadlocks. As an adult, Kahina became queen of a sovereign state in the Aries Mountains in what's now Algeria. Since around the year 534, that region of Africa had been part of the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire. It remained under the empire's domain until the 7th century. At that point, following the founding of Islam as a religion Arab armies began a spree of conquests across the region. Kahina's most famous series of conflicts was with the Muslim Arab leader Hassan ibn al-Numan, whose armies were on campaign across North Africa. The stories from Arab authors claim that Kahina used her supernatural abilities to fight the invaders. This claim was likely made because the defeats Kahina inflicted upon this powerful Muslim army seemed nearly impossible, and thus must have been related to some sort of magic or sorcery. She was set to see the future and to communicate with birds who could give her advanced warning of invaders. Kahina beat those forces multiple times, likely reinforcing tales of her magical abilities. Then the stories get muddled. Some accounts say that after beating Hassan ibn al-Numan back, Kahina burned anything that her enemies could have found useful in her territories. In other words, she used scorched earth tactics to ensure they wouldn't come back. As you can imagine, her allies weren't particularly pleased about that. So when the Arab armies returned, many flipped sides and Kahina's smaller army was defeated. Some accounts tell a different story, suggesting that the Arab armies burned the lands. Either way, Kahina died. She was either killed in battle, took poison to avoid capture, or was captured and executed. Kahina's true life story is a bit of a mystery. That lack of clarity, when it comes to her actual biographical details, has allowed Kahina to serve as a heroic symbol for a variety of movements, including anti-colonialism and North African nationalism. All month, we're bringing you the best of villainy, magic, and mystery. Tune in tomorrow for another of our favorite episodes. Special thanks to Liz Kaplan, my favorite sister and co-creator.
