- Fulla Deities · deities
Fulla is one of the Ásynjur and Frigg's closest attendant: Gylfaginning 35 says she wears her hair loose with a golden ribbon, carries Frigg's casket, looks after her shoes and knows all her secrets. The Old High German Second Merseburg Charm names Volla among the sisters around Frija, which is the only other early attestation and shows that a cognate figure was known outside Scandinavia. She has no story of her own in the Eddas.
matched: full, moon - Luna Deities · deities
Luna is the Roman moon - the body in the sky and the goddess of it, one of the oldest Roman deities and counted by Varro among the select gods. Her temple stood on the Aventine, and her month and her phases shaped the calendar: the Kalends was originally the new moon and the Ides the full. Later Roman writers gave her the chariot, the horns and the Greek name Selene, and the poets' Luna is largely the Greek moon-goddess in Latin dress.
matched: full, moon - Soma Deities · deities
Soma is both the Vedic plant pressed and drunk in sacrifice and the god of that drink, the nectar of immortality. The Rig Veda's ninth mandala is entirely his. In later Hinduism Soma is identified with the moon, which waxes as the gods drink and wanes as they finish; the full moon is his cup.
matched: full, moon - Chandra Deities · deities
Chandra is the Vedic moon, the cup of soma and the lord of plants, whose waxing and waning is a story of the gods drinking him down and the sun restoring him. He rules the mind and the night and the growing of everything green.
matched: full, moon - Chang'e Deities · deities
Chang'e drinks the elixir of immortality meant for her husband and floats to the moon, where she lives in a cold palace with a rabbit who pounds medicine. Once a year he can visit her. She is immortality as separation rather than as triumph.
matched: full, moon - Hina Deities · deities
Hina is a widespread Polynesian figure rather than one goddess: in Hawai'i she is the moon and the mother of Maui, in Maori tradition Hine-te-iwaiwa is the goddess of women's arts and childbirth, and in Tahiti Hina is the woman who left for the moon. The names and stories differ by island, and the entry does not merge them. The moon, the tapa and the tide are her work. Beckwith's Hawaiian Mythology (1940) and the Maori sources record the separate figures.
matched: full, moon - Ixchel Deities · deities
Ixchel, Lady Rainbow, is the Yucatec Maya goddess of the moon, of weaving, of childbirth and of medicine, the wife of Itzamna, whose shrine on the island of Cozumel was a pilgrimage place for women. Diego de Landa and the colonial Yucatec sources describe her, and the codices show a moon goddess with a serpent headdress and, separately, an old woman with the tools of the loom. The equation of Ixchel with the codical figures called Goddess I and Goddess O - the young moon goddess and the old weaver - is a modern scholarly convention, and the figure the colonial sources give is a composite of several.
matched: full, moon - Mani Deities · deities
Mani is the Norse moon who guides the months and counts the nights, chased in turn by the wolf Hati. He takes two children from the earth to carry the moon's light, which is where the marks on the moon come from.
matched: full, moon - Selene Deities · deities
Greek Titaness and personification of the Moon itself. Daughter of Hyperion and Theia, sister to Helios (Sun) and Eos (Dawn). Drives her moon chariot across the night sky, bringing gentle lunar light. Known for her love of Endymion, whom she visits nightly. Represents the moon in its pure, personified form—gentle, illuminating, cyclical. More accessible and positive than Hecate's darker lunar aspects.
matched: full, moon - Sin Deities · deities
Sin is the Akkadian moon god of the desert and the calendar, whose crescent lights the caravans and whose temple at Harran outlived the others by centuries. He is the measure of the month and the light that makes night travel possible.
matched: full, moon - Tsukuyomi Deities · deities
Tsukuyomi is the moon kami born from Izanagi's right eye during his purification at the Tachibana River, one of the three noble children, and in the Kojiki he is given rule over the night. The Nihon Shoki tells how, sent to wait on Uke-mochi, the goddess of food, he found her producing food from her nose, mouth and rectum, took it for pollution and killed her; Amaterasu was so appalled that she moved to another part of the sky, and that is why sun and moon are apart. The Kojiki transfers the same killing to Susanoo and Ogetsuhime.
matched: full, moon - Yue Lao Deities · deities
Yue Lao is the old man under the moon who ties the feet of the couple destined for each other with a red silk cord and reads their names in his book; he enters literature in the Tang tale Dinghun dian (The Inn of the Fixed Match) in Li Fuyan's Xu Xuanguai Lu (c. 850), where a young man is told that his future wife is a three-year-old child, tries to have her killed, and marries her years later with the scar of his blow to identify her. He is a literary figure rather than a classical god — there is no ancient temple in the canonical record — but he is now one of the most popular objects of devotion for the young and unmarried, with shrines in Hangzhou and at Longshan Temple in Taipei among many others.

matched: full, moon - Artemis Deities · deities
Greek virgin goddess of hunt, wilderness, moon, childbirth. Protector of young women. Fiercely independent, never married. Punishes those who violate sacred boundaries. Both gentle (childbirth) and fierce (hunter). Autonomy as sacred.
matched: full, moon - Bes Deities · deities
Bes is the dwarf god of the Egyptian household - apotropaic protector of mothers, children and sleepers, and patron of music, dance and sexual pleasure. He has no myth cycle and no temple: his power is in the image, and his full-face, ithyphallic figure appears on headrests, mirrors, feeding cups and magical wands, as tattoos on dancers, and in the birth chambers. He is shown with a lion's mane and a knife, tongue out, frightening off the spirits that threaten a house.
matched: full, moon - Diana Deities · deities
Roman goddess of the hunt and moon, equivalent to Greek Artemis. Virgin goddess who chose independence over marriage, protector of women and children. Leader of her nymphs, fierce huntress, and lunar deity. Known for protecting the vulnerable while punishing those who violate sacred boundaries. More accessible and protective than darker lunar deities, making her excellent for RHP (Right Hand Path) lunar work.
matched: full, moon - Horus Deities · deities
Egyptian falcon god, son of Osiris and Isis. Avenged his father's murder by Set. Lost eye in battle, which became powerful protective symbol. Won kingship through trial. Represents rightful sovereignty reclaimed, divine kingship, protection. Sky god whose eyes are sun and moon. Pharaohs as living Horus.
matched: full, moon - Houyi Deities · deities
Houyi is the archer of the Shanhaijing and the Huainanzi, given a red bow and white arrows by the high god Di Jun and sent to relieve a world scorched by ten suns, the sons of Xihe. He shot down nine and left one, and killed the great beasts — the yayu, zaochi, jiuying, dafeng, fengxi and xiushe — that were ravaging the land. He obtained the elixir of immortality from Xi Wangmu; his wife Chang'e drank it and rose to the moon. Later tradition conflates him with the Xia-dynasty usurper Houyi, who was killed by Han Zhuo, and with the archer murdered by his disciple Feng Meng.
matched: full, moon - Hyperion Deities · deities
Hyperion is a Titan, son of Earth and Sky and brother of Theia, and by her the father of Helios, Selene and Eos. His name means 'he who goes above' and in the early poets it works as a description of the sun's height rather than as a separate career. In Homer 'Hyperion Helios' is a fixed formula, which has left it genuinely uncertain whether the epic tradition knew one figure or two. He has no myth of his own: his importance is genealogical, and his domain is the light out of which sun, moon and dawn are parcelled to his children.
matched: full, moon - Ilmatar Deities · deities
Ilmatar, 'daughter of the air', also called Luonnotar, is the Kalevala's primordial being: a virgin spirit who descends from the air into the sea, is made pregnant by the wind and the water, and drifts pregnant for centuries until a scaup's eggs break on her knee and become the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon. She is Väinämöinen's mother and the epic's creation figure, but not the object of any cult. Lönnrot built the first runo from scattered creation charms and folk cosmology rather than from a single inherited narrative, which is why the details vary between tellings.
matched: full, moon - Kalki Deities · deities
Kalki is the tenth and future avatara, the rider on the white horse Devadatta, born in the village Shambhala to Vishnuyasha and Sumati, who comes at the end of the Kali Yuga with a blazing sword to end the age of darkness and restore dharma. The Vishnu Purana (Book 4) and the Bhagavata Purana (Canto 12) describe his coming, and the Kalki Purana expands it into a full narrative. He has no great independent cult - the Kalki temple in Jaipur is an eighteenth-century foundation - and the tradition gives no date.
matched: full, moon - Khnum Deities · deities
Khnum is the ram-headed creator of Elephantine who fashions human bodies and their kas from clay on a potter's wheel and places them in the womb, and who regulates the inundation from the caverns of Hapi at the First Cataract. In the Famine Stela he appears to Djoser in a dream and promises the flood; at Esna he is the creator who made gods and animals, and women brought a potter's wheel to his temple in a fertility rite. His cult is early - Khufu's full name means 'Khnum is my protector'.
matched: full, moon - Khonsu Deities · deities
Khonsu is the Egyptian moon god whose name means the traveller, who crosses the night sky as a falcon and whose crescent was associated with healing - the stories have him driving out demons and restoring a princess. He is the moon as a physician on the road.
matched: full, moon - Lancelot Deities · deities
Lancelot is a creation of Chretien de Troyes, who put him in a cart in the Chevalier de la charrette (c. 1177-81) to reach the abducted queen; the prose Vulgate Lancelot (c. 1215-35) gave him a full biography — stolen as an infant and raised by the Lady of the Lake, the love of Guinevere, the madness, and the failure at the Grail because of his sin. Malory's Morte keeps the love as the most famous and the most ill-fated, and ends him as a priest and then a monk, dying soon after the queen. In the early romances he is one knight at a court; in the prose cycle he is the centre of the world.
matched: full, moon - Mėnuo Deities · deities
Mėnuo (Latvian Mēness, Old Prussian Menulis) is the Baltic moon, a male deity and the moon itself, whose waxing and waning the dainos explain through the celestial wedding: he marries Saulė, is unfaithful with the morning star (Aušrinė or Auseklis), and Perkūnas cuts him with a sword, which is why the moon wanes. He is one of the Dievo sūneliai, a son of Dievas, and a measurer of time and seasons rather than a ruler of the dead. The evidence is the daina corpus, not a cult archive, and the story exists in several regional variants.
matched: full, moon - Nanna Deities · deities
Nanna, or Sin, is the Mesopotamian moon god who crosses the night sky in a reed boat and measures the months, the father of Shamash and Inanna. His crescent is the measure of time itself and his wisdom is the kind that comes from counting.
matched: full, moon - Saulė Deities · deities
Saulė (Latvian Saule) is the Baltic sun and a goddess, not a metaphor: in the Lithuanian and Latvian dainos she is a mother with daughters (Saulės dukros, Saules meitas) who bathes, weeps, warms the orphan and rides across the sky. She is married to Mėnuo (Mēness, the moon) in the celestial-wedding cycle, and when he betrays her with the morning star Perkūnas cuts him - the waning moon is the wound. The material is overwhelmingly the daina corpus plus the 16th-17th century reports; no Baltic sun temple survives, and her cult image later merged with the Virgin Mary in Lithuanian folk Catholicism.
matched: full, moon - Vajrasattva Deities · deities
Vajrasattva, the 'diamond being', is the Buddha of purification: white, a vajra held at the heart and a bell at the hip, seated on a moon disc, and in Tibetan practice the figure in whom the vajra lineage's transmission is concentrated — often counted as a sixth Tathagata completing the five-Buddha mandala. His hundred-syllable mantra, transmitted through the Yoga-tantra and Anuttarayoga cycles, is the standard means of confessing and purifying a broken vow, and the short form om vajrasattva hum is used across the schools. The four powers the practice requires — regret, reliance on the deity, the remedy of recitation, and the resolve not to repeat — are the tradition's own analysis of what confession is.
matched: full, moon - Abraham Deities · deities
Abraham is the one who leaves Ur at the call, is promised a land and a people, receives the covenant of circumcision, and is stopped from sacrificing his son on Moriah. He is remembered for hospitality - the three visitors at Mamre - and for the argument over Sodom, in which he bargains with God for the lives of strangers.
matched: full, moon - Abraxas Deities · deities
Abraxas (Abrasax) is the name at the centre of the Basilidian system reported by Irenaeus (Against Heresies 1.24): the Greek letters of Abrasax sum to 365, the number of the days of the year and of the heavens in that system, so that the name is the name of the whole year and of the power that governs it. From the second century the name crowds the Graeco-Egyptian magical gems, engraved on amulets beside a cock-headed, serpent-legged figure with a whip and shield and invoked with IAO and Sabaoth as a protective name of power. Carl Jung took Abraxas up in the Seven Sermons to the Dead (1916) as the god beyond good and evil, and through Hermann Hesse's Demian the figure entered modern occultism.
matched: full, moon - Adonis Deities · deities
Adonis is the beautiful youth loved by Aphrodite and Persephone, killed by a boar and divided between the underworld and the upper world for half the year each. His gardens were pots of fast-sprouting seed, carried out and thrown away, which says what his cult thought of him.
matched: full, moon - Aegir Deities · deities
Aegir is the sea, a giant who keeps a hall beneath the waves and hosts the gods at the feast where Loki's flyting happens (Lokasenna). He brews for them, and Thor has to fetch the giant Hymir's cauldron before there is ale enough for all (Hymiskvida); his wife is Ran and their nine daughters are the waves.
matched: full, moon - Aengus Deities · deities
Aengus is the son of the Dagda and Boann, conceived and born within one lengthened day and fostered by Midir at Brí Léith; he wins Brú na Bóinne from his father by asking for it as a day's and a night's dwelling. Aislinge Óenguso, 'The Dream of Aengus', tells of his love for Caer Ibormeith, whom he finds as a swan and joins as a swan. He is Mac ind Óc, 'the young son', the persuasive and beautiful figure of the Mythological Cycle.
matched: full, moon - Aequitas Deities · deities
Aequitas is the Roman concept and personification of equity - fairness, even measure, the honest scale - and Cicero gives a tripartite account of it, dividing it into pietas toward the gods, sanctitas toward the dead and iustitia toward other people. As a divine personification she belongs to the vocabulary of the imperial cult, appearing as Aequitas Augusti on coins with scales and cornucopia, and aequitas was also a working principle of Roman law and of the mint's honest measure. She has no temple and no festival that we know of, and no mythology at all.
matched: full, moon - Aglaea Deities · deities
Aglaea, splendour, is one of the Charites - the Graces - and Hesiod makes the three daughters of Zeus and Eurynome, an Oceanid, naming them Aglaea, Euphrosyne and Thalia (Theogony 907-911). In the same poem she is the youngest of the three and the wife of Hephaestus (945-946). Homer knows the Charites only as a group attending Aphrodite, and in Iliad 14 he gives Pasithea as one of them, so both names and number moved before Hesiod fixed them. Their great cult was at Orchomenus in Boeotia, for which Pindar wrote the fourteenth Olympian.
matched: full, moon - Ahti Deities · deities
Ahti, called Ahto in the Kalevala so as not to be confused with the hero Ahti Saarelainen, is the Finnish water god, lord of lakes and sea, whose wife is Vellamo, mistress of the water. In fishing spells the two are asked to drive their 'cattle', the fish, into the nets, and the catch is his gift rather than a right. He is a master of the waters in the everyday sense of the fishing and sailing communities, not a remote cosmic power, and the tradition is carried by the spells and the runos.
matched: full, moon - Ahura Mazda Deities · deities
Ahura Mazda, 'the Wise Lord', is the supreme god of the Gathas of Zarathushtra (Yasna 28-53) and of the later Avesta: uncreated, the source of asha (truth and cosmic order) against druj (the lie), and the maker of the good creation. The Avesta reaches him through the Amesha Spentas, the six 'bounteous immortals' who are at once his attributes and his agents, and the Pahlavi books (Bundahishn, Denkard) develop the cosmogony around him. Zoroastrian worship is aniconic, conducted before a sacred fire, and the winged disc or winged figure of Achaemenid reliefs is often called his image although the identification is disputed.
matched: full, moon - Aine Deities · deities
Aine is the Irish goddess of the midsummer sun and of Knockainey hill, who is pursued by a mortal king and takes her revenge, and who is also the queen of the local sidhe. She is sovereignty in its double form: given, taken, and answered.
matched: full, moon - Allah Deities · deities
Allah is the Arabic word for God, used by Arabic-speaking Christians, Jews and Muslims alike, and in Islam the one without image, partner or pantheon, whose ninety-nine names describe rather than divide him. He is included as the one God of a living tradition, and the correspondences given here are reception.
matched: full, moon - Amaterasu Deities · deities
Amaterasu is the Japanese sun goddess, ancestress of the imperial line, who withdraws into a cave when her brother ravages her weaving hall and is drawn out by music and a mirror. She is the light that can be lost by offence and returned by laughter.
matched: full, moon - Ameretat Deities · deities
Ameretat ('Immortality' or 'Deathlessness', later Amurdad) is the Amesha Spenta paired with Haurvatat; the Gathas name the two together as the gift that awaits the righteous, and the later tradition makes Ameretat the lord of plants, as Haurvatat is lord of the waters. At the Frashegird, the renovation of the world, they are the powers by which the creation is restored to wholeness and death is undone. Her day is Amurdad, the seventh day of the month, and the fifth month, Amurdad, carries her name.
matched: full, moon - Amitabha Deities · deities
Amitabha, the Buddha of Infinite Light, is the central figure of the Pure Land sutras: as the bodhisattva Dharmakara he made a series of vows (forty-eight in the Longer Sukhavati-vyuha Sutra) to establish a land in which any being who calls on his name may be reborn and awaken there. That land is Sukhavati, the Land of Bliss, in the west; he is flanked by Avalokiteshvara and Mahasthamaprapta, and in Tibetan practice he also appears as Amitayus, the red Buddha of long life, who is a distinct figure with his own ritual. Devotion to him is the basis of the East Asian Pure Land schools and of much Tibetan practice, and his image sits in the crown of Guanyin's statue.
matched: full, moon - Amoghasiddhi Deities · deities
Amoghasiddhi, 'infallible success', is the Buddha of the north in the five-Buddha mandala, green in colour, the right hand raised in the abhaya mudra of fearlessness and the crossed vajra (vishvavajra) as his emblem. His wisdom is the all-accomplishing wisdom (krtyanushthana-jnana): the activity that does what is needed and leaves no residue, and he heads the karma family, seated on a garuda. Like Ratnasambhava he has almost no independent sutra cult and is met chiefly through the tantric mandalas, where his green north completes the set filled by Akshobhya's blue east and Amitabha's red west.
matched: full, moon - Amphitrite Deities · deities
Amphitrite is the Greek queen of the sea, a Nereid who married Poseidon and rules the deep with him, mother of Triton and of the sea's creatures. She is the sea as a settled kingdom rather than a wandering force.
matched: full, moon - Amun Deities · deities
Amun is the hidden god of Thebes who becomes king of the Egyptian gods and is fused with the sun as Amun-Ra. His name means the hidden one, he has no visible image, and the tradition insists that he hears the petitions of the poor, which is why he was loved rather than merely obeyed.
matched: full, moon - Anahita Deities · deities
Aredvi Sura Anahita is the great yazata of the waters, praised at length in Yasht 5 of the Avesta (the Aban Yasht) as a strong, undefiled and healing power who drives a chariot drawn by four horses - wind, rain, cloud and sleet - and grants boons to those who worship her. She is invoked with Ahura Mazda and Mithra in the inscriptions of Artaxerxes II (4th century BCE), and her temple cult is attested at Istakhr, while Strabo describes her shrines in Cappadocia and Armenia. Hellenistic writers identified her with Artemis (Artemis Persike), and later Persian usage names the planet Venus after her as Nahid.
matched: full, moon - Anu Deities · deities
Anu, Sumerian An, is the sky itself and the highest authority of the Mesopotamian pantheon, the father of the gods, whose temple the Eanna, House of Heaven, stood at Uruk; the Sumerian and Akkadian god lists put him at the head of the triad with Enlil and Ea. He is remote: in the Gilgamesh epic he grants Ishtar the Bull of Heaven, in Atrahasis and in Enuma Elish the work is done by his descendants, and kingship descends from heaven at his gift. The other gods act under his authority; he does not act himself.
matched: full, moon - Anuket Deities · deities
Anuket is the goddess of the First Cataract and of Lower Nubia, worshipped at Elephantine and on the island of Sehel, where her temple stood and pharaohs from Sobekhotep III to Amenhotep II left dedications. She is the daughter of Khnum and Satet in the Elephantine triad, 'the Embracer' whose outstretched arms may figure the two branches of the Nile, and the flood is hers: when the river rose her festival began and the taboo on certain fish was lifted. Her name meant 'the embracer', and in the New Kingdom she was 'the Nubian'.
matched: full, moon - Aphrodite Deities · deities
Born from sea foam when Kronos castrated Uranus—emerged fully formed, sovereign, irresistible. Married to Hephaestus, took Ares as lover. Commands desire itself, not subject to it. Beauty as power, not decoration.
matched: full, moon - Apollo Deities · deities
Greek god of light, son of Zeus and Leto, twin of Artemis. Slayer of the Python at Delphi, establishing his oracle. God of rational thought, healing arts, music, and prophecy. Embodies civilized order, artistic excellence, and healing power. Accessible and benevolent solar deity who brings light, health, and inspiration to humanity.
matched: full, moon - Aradia Deities · deities
Aradia is the daughter of Diana in a nineteenth-century Italian witches' gospel, sent to earth to teach the poor the craft and to overturn their masters. Whether she is an older goddess or a modern invention is a live argument, and her entry records both readings.
matched: full, moon - Ariadne Deities · deities
Ariadne is the daughter of Minos and Pasiphae, half-sister of the Minotaur, and the one who gives Theseus the thread and the way out of the labyrinth. He takes her from Crete and abandons her - at Naxos or on Cyprus, depending on the teller - and Dionysus finds her there and makes her his wife and immortal (Hesiod, Theogony 947-949); Homer's Odyssey has Artemis kill her instead (XI.321-325). Plutarch collects the disagreements, including Paeon of Amathus's Cypriot account of her death in childbirth on Cyprus (Theseus 20).
matched: full, moon - Arianrhod Deities · deities
Arianrhod is the Welsh goddess of the silver wheel, whose castle Caer Sidi is the turning station of the stars and a place of the dead awaiting rebirth. In the Fourth Branch she is tested for virginity, bears two sons, and lays a destiny on one of them that he shall have no name, no arms and no wife of the race of earth — the story of a sovereignty that will not be taken.
matched: full, moon - Arthur Deities · deities
Arthur begins as a war-leader, not a king: the Historia Brittonum (ninth century) credits him with twelve victories including Mount Badon and calls him dux bellorum, and the Annales Cambriae record his last battle at Camlann in 537 where he and Medraut fell. Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae (c. 1136) turns him into a king who conquers Europe and is carried to Avalon, and the Welsh Culhwch and Olwen already puts him at the head of a named warband. Chretien de Troyes adds the court and the Grail, and Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur (1485) fixes the Round Table, Excalibur, and the once and future king.
matched: full, moon - Asha Vahishta Deities · deities
Asha Vahishta ('Best Truth' or 'Best Righteousness') is the second of the Amesha Spentas, the hypostasis of asha - the truth, order and rightness of things that the Gathas set against druj, the lie. His creation in the later tradition is fire, and he is bound to the sacred fire of the Zoroastrian altar; the Pahlavi texts make him the opponent of the demon Indar. Asha is the Avestan continuation of the Indo-Iranian order that the Vedic hymns call rita.
matched: full, moon - Asherah Deities · deities
Canaanite mother goddess, consort of El (and possibly YHWH in early Hebrew practice). Systematically erased from Hebrew scripture through religious reforms. Sacred trees and poles destroyed. Represents feminine divinity suppressed by monotheistic patriarchy. Goddess whose worship was forbidden, whose consort relationship was erased, whose trees were cut down. Teaches about systematic erasure, reclamation of suppressed feminine, sovereignty stolen through narrative.
matched: full, moon - Asmodeus Deities · deities
Demon king in Judeo-Christian tradition, originally from Zoroastrian Aeshma Daeva. Associated with lust, wrath, vengeance. In Book of Tobit, kills seven husbands of Sarah before being bound. Represents desire and rage as sovereign forces, not sins. Left Hand Path ally for those reclaiming appetite and anger as sacred, not shameful.
matched: full, moon - Astarte Deities · deities
Phoenician/Canaanite goddess of love, war, fertility. Worshipped widely across ancient Near East. Hebrew Bible demonized her as Ashtoreth. Christian demonology transformed her to Astaroth, male Duke of Hell. Represents systematic stripping of feminine divine power through rebranding as demon. Goddess → demon. Power → evil. Sovereignty stolen through narrative.
matched: full, moon - Attis Deities · deities
Attis is the consort of Cybele who castrates himself in a frenzy beneath a pine tree, dies and is mourned and rejoiced over in the spring rites of the Hilaria. His myth is the ancient pattern of the dying god and the cost of total devotion.
matched: full, moon - Atum Deities · deities
Atum is the Heliopolitan creator, the first god, who emerged self-made on the benben mound out of the waters of Nun. He produced Shu and Tefnut - sneezed or spat out in the Pyramid Texts, masturbated in other accounts - and so began the Ennead. He is the evening sun, the 'Complete One' who receives the dead king and returns to the waters at the end of the cycle, and in the Book of the Dead he rises from chaos in serpent form.
