Goddesses and Gods.wps - Welcome to Our Temple

A goddess. When Sun's daughter was bitten by a snake and taken to the Ghost
Country, Sun hid herself in grief. The world was ever dark, and Sun's tears became a
flood. At last the Cherokee sent their young men and women to heal Sun's grief,
which they did with singing and dancing.

promised the gods a share of power for their help. Shakura the Sun was assigned to
provide light and heat, Pah the Moon was assigned the night, and Tirwara-Atius
placed the Evening Star, the Mother of All Things in the west. The Morning Star he
set to guard the east. After the gods had raised dry land from the watery chaos,
Tirawa Atius told Sun and Moon to make love, and they gave birth to a son. He then
told Evening and Morning Star to make love, and they gave birth to a daughter. So
the human race was made. All would have been well if Coyote had not stolen a sack

brought death into the world.
