Goddess Hine Nui Te Po

Goddess Hine Nui Te Po Image
HINE-NUI-TE-PO is the Maori Goddess of darkness and death, queen of the underworld. Her name translates as "Great Lady of the Night". Hine-nui-te-po was originally named HINE-TITAMA, meaning "Lady of the dawn", and she was the daughter of Tane-matua, God of forests, and Hine-ahu-one, "woman created of earth", the first woman in Maori mythology. Hine-titama married Tane-matua, not aware that he was her father, and they had several children.

One day, Hine-titama asked her husband if he knew who her father was, and he told her to ask the pillars of the house. She knew that her husband had built the house, and then realized that her husband was actually her father. Ashamed, she ran off to the underworld, where she was stopped by Te Ku-watawata, the guardian of the gate. He advised her to go back, to remain in the world of light and life, but she insisted on going forward. Just as she was about to descend into the darkness, Tane-matua caught up with her, but she turned him back, telling him that he was to go and look after their children in the world of light, as she would look after them in the world of darkness. It was at this point that she changed her name to Hine-nui-te-po, symbolic of her descent to the underworld.

Hine-nui-te-po's descent also marked the beginning of the flow of mankind to the underworld. The great hero Maui attempted to regain man's immortality by crawling through Hine-nui-te-po's body while she slept. Maui had with him three birds as companions, and when he turned himself into a worm and crawled into Hine-nui-te-po's vagina, one of the birds laughed, awakening the Goddess. Feeling the worm crawling inside her, she crushed it to death. Maui thus became the first man to die, and man has been mortal ever since.

Aztec Goddess Chantico Image
"CHANTICO", THE AZTEC GODDESS OF PLEASURE AND PAIN, IS ONE OF YOUR CLASSICAL MESOAMERICAN GODDESSES; SHE ALSO PERSONIFIES AND SAFEGUARDS THE FIRES IN THE FAMILY HEARTH AND VOLCANOES. IT IS SAID THAT MEN WHO WERE GOING INTO BATTLE, PRAYED TO HER FOR THEIR SAFE RETURN BEFORE THE FIRES WENT OUT. HER NAME MEANS "IN THE HOUSE", AND SHE BLESSES THE HOME WITH WEALTH AND STABILITY AND RULES OVER MATERIAL ABUNDANCE AND PRECIOUS THINGS.

TO THE INCA, SHE WAS THE GODDESS OF THE EARTH'S MINERALS AND PRECIOUS STONES. IN HER EARLIER ROLE, SHE WAS CONSIDERED A RATHER FICKLE AND UNTRUSTWORTHY GODDESS, AND LEGENDS TELL THAT THOSE PEOPLE WHO SOUGHT AFTER THE TREASURES OF THE EARTH WOULD OFTEN FACE DEATH IN THE FORM OF HER SERPENT TONGUE OF FIRE OR THE POISONOUS CACTUS AROUND HER CROWN RATHER THAN THE RICHES THEY WERE AFTER.

SHE CARRIES THE BALANCE OF HAPPINESS AND SORROW...PLEASURE AND PAIN. CHANTICO REPRESENTS THE DUALITY OF LIFE, THE EARTH, AND THE PEOPLE. SHE IS A FREE SPIRIT. HER FEMININITY AND SENSUAL ASPECTS...ALONG WITH HER ASSOCIATION WITH PLEASURE AND PAIN HAS LEAD TO HER WORSHIP BY THOSE WHO ARE INVOLVED IN SM SEXUAL PRACTICES.

ONE DAY, CHANTICO, ALWAYS A BIT ON THE MISCHIEVOUS SIDE, ANGERED THE FOOD GOD BY EATING ROASTED FISH WITH PAPRIKA ON A FAST DAY WHEN THE SPICE WAS BANNED. TO SHOW HIS DISPLEASURE, HE TURNED HER INTO A DOG.

God Hephaestus

God Hephaestus Cover
HEPHAESTUS (Roman name Vulcan) was the lame god of fire and crafts or the two together, hence of blacksmiths. Hephaestus was the son of Zeus and Hera or, in some accounts, of Hera alone. He limped because he was born lame, which caused his mother to throw him off Mount Olympus. Or in other accounts he interceded in a fight between Zeus and Hera, and Zeus took him by the foot and threw him from Olympus to the earth far below.

Hephaestus accomplished numerous prodigies of craftsmanship, such as the marvelous palaces that he built for the gods atop Mount Olympus, or the armor that he made for Achilles during the siege of Troy (the description of which occupies a great many lines of Homer's epic of the Trojan War).

Hephaestus also created the first woman, Pandora, at the command of Zeus, in retaliation for the various tricks by which the Titan Prometheus had benefited mortal men at the expense of the gods. Pandora was given to the Titan's brother, Epimetheus, as his wife. For her dowry she brought a jar filled with evils from which she removed the lid, thereby afflicting men for the first time with hard work and sickness. Only hope remained inside the jar.
