The Mesopotamian Pantheon: The Essential (Anu, Enlil, Enki, Marduk, Ashur, Inanna, Ereshkigal, Nabu)

The Mesopotamian pantheon is based on the Sumerian model, but the aspects of deities change from place to place and from era to era. So the gods of the Mesopotamian region were not uniform in names, power, provenance or status, and sometimes several gods become one or one divides into several. Collectively, these deities are the Anunnaki or the “royal ones”. Anu was the somewhat distant Mesopotamian father god, an embodiment of heavens and a member of the triad of deities completed by Enlil and Enki. His consort and feminine counterpart was Antu and from their union were born the Anunnaki. In a Babylonian version, Anu was born of the primordial couple Anshar and Kishar, and his cult center was in Uruk. If at first he was the most powerful of the gods, he lost some of his importance over the centuries, giving way to the gods Enlil, Marduk and the goddess Inanna. Enlil was the Mesopotamian god of the atmosphere and a member of the triad of divinities who ruled Heaven, Earth and the Underworld. He was the only god besides Anu who could bestow the important elements of the Sumerian concept of divine order upon other divinities. The god Enlil was often prayed to in hopes of a fair weather for a good harvest, he was invoked to bless his cities to ensure prosperity and abundance. Enki was one of the most prominent Mesopotamian gods known in Sumer and was further developed by the Akkadians. Nabu was the Babylonian god of writing and wisdom, son of Marduk and grandson of the god of wisdom. In Mesopotamian religion, Marduk is the Babylonian King of the gods, the hero who defeated the forces of chaos and brought order to the universe.

Have You Ever Heard Of The African Fairy? Meet The Aziza | African Mythology Explained

Aziza is a word deeply rooted in West African mythology, and denotes a supernatural creature renowned for its benevolence. In African mythology, these fuzzy little spirits dwell within the depths of the forest, and were revered for their proficiency in bestowing positive magic, especially to hunters. The accounts of the Aziza existence first arise in the folklore of the Dahomey tribes in West Africa, where they are described as benevolent spirits having a fortunate guidance and forest wisdom. In most Dahomey Folklore, the Aziza for all intents and purposes are often portrayed as little creatures that look to be the African version of the fairy known in Europe. While a singular portrayal remains elusive, diverse accounts present the Aziza fairy as little humans scarcely taller than children and possessing remarkable beauty glowing with magical light. Contrary to European Fairies who are usually notorious for being chaotic and mischievous at best, spiteful and vindictive at worst, the Aziza spirits are mostly seen as benevolent creatures of the forest. The mythology says that the Aziza were leading hunters and guiding lost travelers to safety, they own profound magical abilities that were bestowed upon humans for generations.

The Valkyries - The Story Behind The Grim Reapers Of Iceland (Summary) | Norse Mythology Explained

As the maidens of the all father and often referred to as beacons of strength, the Valkyries of Norse mythology were women of vast prestige and power, one of the few factions of warriors having a certain influence over the world of men. Upon the backs of their ethereal horses, they came from Valhalla with guttural screams at the back of their throats. According to the Norse mythology, Prose Edda and Poetic Edda, it is not the duty of Valkyries to interfere in the conflicts of men nor to have any role in the physical or mental acts of battle. But rather to choose from the fallen warriors who was worthy enough to ascend to the halls of Odin, and who was benign enough to be sent to the fields of the goddess Freyja. The name Valkyrie means “chooser of the slain,” and once chosen the warriors would be flown on to Valhalla. The Valkyries feature in the stories from the Prose and Poetic Edda, both are the collections of Norse tales as well as Germanic works. It's important to understand that Norse Mythology was passed down orally for generations until the region was converted to Christianity, which introduced literacy. It’s unknown when the concept of the Valkyrie was first mentioned, but in Norse mythology, they were originally seen as bloodthirsty spirits feasting on the bodies of the slain across the battlefields, and took their souls to a generic afterlife. Much like the Greek Keres that we have in Greek mythology. It was only because of the influence of women who fought as men during the Viking age that the Valkyries were more romanticized, and the descriptions of beautiful Valkyries taking the braves up to a glorious afterlife replaced this unpleasant image.
