Metztli (also Meztli, Metzi) was a god or goddess of the moon, the night, and farmers. He/she was probably the same deity as Yohaulticetl and Coyolxauhqui and the male moon god Tecciztecatl; like the latter, he/she feared the sun because he/she feared its fire. Also referred to as the lowly god of worms who failed to sacrifice himself to become the sun, and became the moon instead, his face darkened by a rabbit.

THE ANCIENT INCA REVERED "MAMA QUILLA", THE GODDESS OF THE MOON. SHE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PASSAGE OF TIME AND THIS SEASONS; THUS, SHE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TIMINGS OF PLANTING THE CROPS AND THE START OF RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS AND WAS THE PATRONESS OF CALENDARS AND FEASTS. HER NAME LITERALLY TRANSLATES INTO "MOTHER MOON", AND IT WAS SHE WHO PROTECTED THEIR CHILDREN. SHE ALSO OVERSAW MARRIAGE, WOMEN'S MENSTRUAL CYCLES AND WAS DEEMED THE PROTECTOR OF WOMEN IN GENERAL. HER IMAGE WAS A HUGE SILVER DISK WITH A HUMAN FACE. She was considered to be the most beautiful of all of the Incan goddesses.

THERE IS AN INCAN MYTH THAT TELLS THE TALE OF A FOX WHO WAS SO TAKEN BY HER BEAUTY THAT WHEN SHE ROSE IN THE SKY, HE SQUEEZED HIMSELF AGAINST HER PRODUCING THE DARK PATCHES THAT SHE CAME TO BE COVERED IN. LUNAR ECLIPSES WERE GREATLY FEARED AS THE INCA BELIEVED THAT BELIEVED THAT SHE HAD BEEN SWALLOWED UP BY A PUMA OR A SNAKE. IF THE ECLIPSE WAS TOTAL, THEY BELIEVED THAT THE MOON WAS PERHAPS DEAD AND WOULD FALL TO THE EARTH, CRUSHING THEM.

FOR THIS REASON WHEN AN ECLIPSE OF THE MOON WAS BEGINNING, THE INCA WOULD GRAB WHATEVER INSTRUMENTS AS WERE WITHIN THEIR REACHDRUMS, TRUMPETS, CYMBALS, ETC.AND MAKE A FRIGHTFUL NOISE, AND, TYING UP THEIR DOGS, TORMENTED THEM SO AS TO EXTORT THE MOST HIDEOUS CRIES FROM THEM, IN THE HOPE THAT THE MOON, BEING A FRIEND OF DOGS, WOULD BE SOFTENED BY THEIR HOWLING AND TRY TO RETURN TO LIFE. MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN JOINED WITH THEIR PRINCES IN CONJURATIONS TO AVERT THE CATASTROPHE. AS LONG AS THE ECLIPSE CONTINUED THEY KEPT EXCLAIMING, "MAMA-QUILLA, MAMA-QUILLA"!

Greek Goddess Erinyes

Greek Goddess Erinyes Cover
THE ERINYES (pronounced ee-RIN-ee-eez) are Greek Goddesses of vengeance. Later known as THE FURIES, there are generally thought to be three of them--ALEKTO ("the unceasing"), MEGAIRA ("the grudging"), and TISIPHONE ("the avenging"). While some sources say that they are daughters of Nyx, Goddess of night, most say that they were born of Gaia. When Kronos castrated his father Ouranos, drops of blood from the wound fell on to Gaia, and she became pregnant with the Erinyes. The sisters are depicted as wearing dark robes and having snakes in their hair, similar to a Gorgon. They live in the Underworld and receive the souls of the death after they have been judged. They purify the souls of good people and send them on their way into the Underworld, but the souls of evil people they cast into the Dungeon of the Damned, where they can torture the souls for eternity.

The Erinyes also act on the earth and were called on by those who had been wronged to come and take vengeance on murderers and oath-breakers. They could punish an individual by chasing him and driving him mad, and they could also punish a kingdom that harbored criminals by causing droughts and famine. The name Erinyes (singular Erinys) is derived from a Greek word meaning "I hunt up," and they were also known as THE PRAXIDIKAI ("exacters of justice"), THE POINAI ("the retributions"), THE MANIAI ("the madnesses"), THE ARAI ("the curses"), THE DASPL^eTAI ("the horrid ones"), THE AEI PARTHENOUS ("the eternal virgins"), and THE KYN^eS ENKOTOI ("the hounds of wrath"). Those who hoped to soothe them called them by euphemisms such as THE EUMENIDES ("the kindly ones"), THE SEMNAI ("the revered ones"), and THE MEILIKHIOI ("the mild ones").
