Goddess Eurynome

Posted by Unknown

IN THE BEGINNING, THE MOST ANCIENT OF THE GREEK GODDESSES, EURYNOME, THE GREAT GODDESS OF ALL THINGS, ROSE NAKED FROM THE CHAOS AND FOUND THERE WAS NOTHING, SO HER FIRST GREAT WORK WAS TO SEPARATE THE WATER FROM THE SKY AND LIGHT FROM DARKNESS. AND ONCE THIS HAD BEEN ACCOMPLISHED, SHE BEGAN TO DANCE ACROSS THE WAVES, THE BEAUTIFUL SENSUAL DANCE OF CREATION. AND AS SHE WILDLY DANCED TOWARDS THE SOUTH, SHE SET IN MOTION BEHIND HER TO THE NORTH A WIND THAT, LIKE CLAY, COULD BE CAUGHT IN HER HAND AND MOLDED INTO A LOVER, OPHION. AND AS SHE CONTINUED TO DANCE, WHIRLING FASTER AND FASTER, OPHION WATCHED AND WAS DRIVEN TO LUST. HE COILED HIMSELF AROUND HER ARMS AND HER LEGS, AND SHE THEN MATED WITH HIM, GIVING BIRTH TO THE UNIVERSAL EGG FROM WHICH LAND, PLANTS, ANIMALS, PLANETS, THE SUN AND THE MOON SPRANG.

IT WAS AT THIS POINT THAT THE GREAT MOTHER ASCENDED TO THE TOP OF MOUNT OLYMPUS TO WATCH OVER HER CHILDREN AS THEY BEGAN TO TAKE SHAPE. OPHION FOLLOWED HER, AND ALL WAS WELL UNTIL HE BEGAN BOASTING THAT HE, IN FACT, WAS THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS. ENRAGED, EURYNOME KICKED OUT HIS TEETH AND CAST HIM OUT OF HEAVEN INTO THE DARK REGIONS OF THE EARTH. SHE THEN WENT ABOUT HER BUSINESS BY CREATING THE FIRST PEOPLE, THE PELASGIANS.

Goddess Tien Hou

Posted by Unknown

TIEN-HOU is the Chinese Goddess of fishermen. She was once a mortal woman named Lin Moniang with four brothers who were all sailors, each with his own ship. One day while they were at sea, Tien-Hou fell into a coma. Her mother tried to revive her and eventually succeeded. Tien-Hou protested that she had been awakened too soon. Later that day, three of her brothers returned home, saying that their ships had nearly been destroyed in storms at sea, but that a vision of Tien-Hou had appeared to them and led them to safety. The fourth brother never returned, for Tien-Hou had been awakened before she could save him.

Tien-Hou was still young when she died, and the people named her PRINCESS OF SUPERNATURAL FAVOR. She watches over all fishermen, and there are many temples in her honor along the coastline of China. Tien-Hou means "Empress of the Sky", but she is known by many names throughout China, including:

Hindu Deity Ganesha

Posted by Unknown in asatru, blackmagic, necronomicon, neo-pagan, potion, thelemical

Ganesha is India's cutest god. He has the head of an elephant on which is perched a dainty tiara, four pudgy hands joined to a sizeable belly with each hand holding its own symbolic object. One has a trishul, or a trident, the second, an ankush, or goad made from his very own broken tooth, the third hand elegantly holds a lotus and the fourth a rosary (which is sometimes replaced by modaks - his favourite sweet). His appetite for sweets is legendary and offerings of them are often left at his shrine.

Ganesha is famous not only for being a trickster and for his sense of humour, but equally for his wisdom. He is the son of Shiva (Destroyer in the Hindu Holy Trinity of Creator-Preserver-Destroyer) and Parvati (Shiva's consort).

The chubby, gentle, wise, elephant-headed Ganesh, or Ganesha, is one of Hinduisms most popular deities. He is the remover of obstacles, the deity whom worshippers first acknowledge when they visit a temple. He is also patron of letters and of learning; he is the legendary scribe who, using his broken tusk, which he often holds, wrote down parts of the Mahabharata epic.

Tezcatlipoca

Posted by Unknown

In Nahuatl mythology, Tezcatlipoca (tes-cat-lee-poh-ka) or "smoking mirror" was the god of the night, the north, temptation, sorcery, beauty and war. He was known by other descriptive names, such as Titlacauan (We His Slaves), Ipalnemoani (He by whom we live), Necocyaotl (Sower of Discord on Both Sides) and Tloque Nahuaque (Lord of the Near and Nigh) and Yohualli Eecatl (Night, Wind). When depicted he was usually drawn with a black stripe painted across his face, and is usually shown with his right foot replaced with a mirror made of obsidian or hematite.

Sometimes the mirror was shown on his chest. He would carry four arrows in his right hand to punish the sins of man with. His hair was black and in the style of a warrior, as well as carrying a shield and weapon. He wore twenty gold bells on his ankles, and on his right foot he wore a deer hoof, representing his swiftness and agility. He appears on the first page of the Codex Borgia carrying the 20 day signs of the calendar; in the Codex Cospi he is shown as a spirit of darkness, as well as in the Codex Laud and the Dresden Codex.

According to the Aztecs, he was also the god of discord and deceit as well as the god of robbers, but he was also the god of rulers, warriors and sorcery. He was associated with the notion of destiny or fate and with the jaguar, and was known for inciting wars between peoples.

He owned a mirror (Itlachiayaque - "Place From Which He Watches") that gave off smoke, killing his enemies; he saw everything and he punished wrong doers with illness and poverty, and rewarded good people with wealth and fame. He was the antithesis, rival, and eventually the twin of Quetzalcoatl. It was thought then when a baby was conceived, it was placed there by Tezcatlipoca to decided it?s fate; the day you were born on prophesised the success or failure in your future. How the child looked was also attributed to the whim of Tezcatlipoca. It was thought that he would appear at night as a shrouded corpse, a bundle of ashes or a headless man with his chest and stomach slit open, and anyone who was brave enough to rip out his heart could demand a reward for returning it.

Attributes of both Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl originally came from pre-Aztec traditions of the Olmecs and the Toltecs. The Aztecs assimilated them in their religion, and the two deities were equated and considered twin gods.

They were both equal and opposed. Thus Tezcatlipoca was called "Black Tezcatlipoca", and Quetzalcoatl "White Tezcatlipoca". Mixcoatl was sometimes added to this complex as "Red Tezcatlipoca." Omacatl, Titlacahuan and Tezcatlanextia were also considered aspects of Tezcatlipoca; the four Tezcatlipocas were the sons of Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl, lord and lady of the duality, and were the creators of all the other gods, as well as the world and man.
