Myth Summaries

“The Course of the Sun & Moon”: Ausoa heralds the coming of Sehul and Hyuhn and opens the Eastern Gate so they can start their journey.

“The Missing Dawn”: When the world was young, the Lady of the Dawn was given the responsibility of bringing light to the world, and thus giving Dhega, the Earth Mother, the strength to keep the world lush and green. Ausoa didn’t like having to light the world every day and night, so she abandoned her post and ran off to the Underworld, where she fell in love with the King of the Dead. Without the light, Dhega grew weak and the world was plunged into an eternal winter. Dyeus demanded that Ausoa leave the realm of the dead and return to her responsibilities. She denied, but instead she offered her children, Sehul and Mehno to take her place in bringing light to the world. Dyeus accepted this offer and brought Ausoa’s children up to the heavens to fulfill their duty, thus bringing back the light.

“The Star Weaver”: After giving birth to Sehul and Mehno, Ausoa becomes pregnant with another child, one who is prophesied to be the greatest of all the gods, who will destroy the evils of the world once and for all. The Unworshipped, the personification of all evil, fears the child’s birth so they poison Ausoa, forcing her child to die in the womb. In her grief, the Queen of the Dead retrieves what essence is left of her dead child, and weaves it into a stunning tapestry, that glows with beautiful lights. She calls the tapestry, stars, and sets it in the night sky, to ward off and weaken the Unworshipped.

The Course of the Sun & Moon

The story of the Sun and Moon’s daily travels across the sky.

Ausoa; the Lady of the Dawn, and Queen of the dead, opens up the Eastern Gate upon the horizon. Sehul, the driver of the golden Sun chariot, makes her way through the Eastern Gate, along with her husband, Hyuhn; the Heavenly Healer. Together they take off into the sky in their blazing chariot.

As Sehul makes her way across the sky, she brings light and life upon all who live upon the Earth. Even Dhega, the Earth Mother, relishes in the light, ever remaining beautiful and lush. Unfortunately, while her expedition is an easy one, the further Sehul makes it across the sky, and the or light she sheds, the weaker she gets. Thankfully, Hyuhn; her dutiful husband, is by her side, keeping her alive and strong enough to make her daily journey.

Finally, Sehul and her husband Hyuhn make it to the Western Gate, where Weru, the Night Lord, and King of the dead is waiting to receive the both of them. The Sun Mistress, on her death bed, is welcomed into the Night Lord’s hall, allowing her husband to fully heal her, to prepare for the next morning’s journey. As Sehul recovers, her light brings joy to the Land of the Dead, and her husband Hyuhn hosts a stunning celebration in honor of his wife’s triumph over death.

Meanwhile, Mehno, the Scholar of the Moon, readies for his own journey across the sky. Pehuson, the Guardian of the Ways, opens the Eastern Gate for Mehno’s departure. Mehno, along with his husband, Suhnu; the Grand Champion, begin their ride in the silver Moon chariot.

Unlike the day, traveling across the night sky is a dangerous journey. The Unworshipped, a personification of all the spirits of evil and negative energies in the world, attempt to smother and consume the Moon in darkness every night. Suhnu defends his lover against the darkness of the Unworshipped so Mehno can concentrate on his task. The Moon Lord sheds his light upon the world, a gentler glow than his sisters bright shine, but his light is a powerful enchantment that ensures the Unworshipped won’t swallow the Earth itself.

After fighting their way across the night sky, Mehno and Suhnu make it to the Western Gate, where they are welcomed by Dyeus the King of the Day and congratulated for their good work. By this time, Ausoa has opened up the Eastern Gate and Sehul and Hyuhn are ready to begin their daily journey yet again. That is the course of the Sun and Moon.
