Chalchiuhtlicue Cover
In Aztec mythology, Chalchiuhtlicue (also Chalciuhtlicue, or Chalcihuitlicue) ("She of the Jade Skirt") was the goddess of lakes and streams. She is also a patroness of birth and plays a part in Aztec baptisms. In the myth of the five suns, she had dominion over the fourth world, which was destroyed in a great flood. She also presides over the day 5 Serpent and the trecena of 1 Reed.Her husband was Tlaloc and with him, she was the mother of Tecciztecatl and ruler over Tlalocan. In her aquatic aspect, she was known as Acuecucyoticihuati, goddess of oceans, rivers and any other running water, as well as the patron of women in labor. She was also said to be the wife of Xiuhtecuhtli. She is sometimes associated with a rain goddess, Matlalcueitl.

In art, Chalciuhtlicue was illustrated wearing a green skirt and with short black vertical lines on the lower part of her face. In some scenes babies may be seen in a stream of water issuing from her skirts. Sometimes she is symbolized by a river with a heavily laden prickly pear tree growing on one bank. She is depicted in several central Mexican manuscripts, including the Pre-Columbian Codex Borgia on plates 11 and 65 and in the 16th century Codex Borbonicus on page 5 and Codex Rios on page 17. When sculpted, she is often carved from green stone as befits her name.

Goddess Hegemone

Goddess Hegemone Image
"HEGEMONE" WAS A VERY PRIMITIVE GREEK GODDESS OF THE SOIL AND GROWING PLANTS, SPECIFICALLY MAKING THEM BLOOM AND BEAR FRUIT. HER NAME MEANS "MASTERY" AND STILL SURVIVES TODAY AS THE WORD FOR "SOVEREIGNTY--HEGEMONY". "ZEUS" IS USUALLY IDENTIFIED AS HER FATHER. THE IDENTITY OF HER MOTHER CHANGES WITH THE STORY, BUT SHE IS USUALLY SAID TO BE THE GODDESS, "EURYNOME. "

SADLY, "HEGEMONE "DISAPPEARED SO EARLY THAT NO RECORD HAS BEEN FOUND HER INDEPENDENT WORSHIP (WE KNOW ONLY OF HER AFTER SHE BECAME ONE OF THE "CHARITIES") AND NO MYTH ABOUT HER SURVIVES, AND WHILE WHAT WE DO KNOW OF HER COMES FROM THE GREEKS, IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT HER ORIGINS ARE OLDER.

TODAY SHE SURVIVES AS ONE OF THE IRREGULAR RETROGRADE MOONS OF JUPITER, DISCOVERED IN 2003 AND NAMED IN 2005.

Koyash The Sun God Image
The Sun was the son of Tengri and the Earth Goddess. Therefore, He circled between the two. The Turks and Mongols honoured the power and vital force of the Sun God. Huns, leaving their villages in the morning, welcomed the rising sun and bowed towards Him. Turks would turn towards the sunrise when praying. They worshipped the Sun because Tengri supervised the creation of the world by the Sun’s rays, which are but strings linking the spirits of plants to the Sun. Solar rays were considered a medium for transmitting the life force sent by Tengri to the infant. A vivid example is the legend of the birth of An-Lushan by a Shamaness, from Ashide, a noble Turkic clan. He became famous for rebelling against the Tan dynasty of imperial China. At his conception it was said that a ray of light penetrated the yurt. “The famous pra-mother of the Mongols, Alan-Goa, who belonged to the clan of Cengiz-Khan, conceived from a ray that penetrated the yurt through a smoke hole.”11 The Turks associated the Sun’s path in the sky with the flight of a fiery bird or a winged horse. Winged horses as symbols of the Sun were widely used in the cosmological myths of Turkic peoples. In addition to horses and birds, other animals (rams, deer, bulls) were also connected with the Sun. Large numbers of domestic artifacts decorated with solar symbols are found throughout Eurasia and testify to the wide distribution of the Sun cult amongst the Turks. Such images are seen in large numbers on ceramic vessels and female earrings.

Goddess Gerd Image
GERD is the Norse Goddess of fertile soil. She is a giantess, and was described as being very beautiful. When her future husband Freyr, twin brother of Freyja, first saw her, he likened her to a sunbeam among shadows, so great was her beauty. Freyr, who was the God of light and fertility, sent a messenger to woo Gerd for him, but she did not want to leave her home to marry the God. The messenger offered her golden apples and a magical ring, but this did not sway her. He threatened to cut off her head, but she was not afraid. Only when he threatened her with a curse that would leave her alone and desolate on a dark mountaintop did she relent. Gerd agreed to meet Freyr in nine days, and they were married. Gerd's name means "enclosure" and is also seen as GERDA or GERdR.
