This is a series to help people interested in hyrulian pop culture paganism get started! So without further ado, onward!
What is Mudora? What is hyrulian pc?
These are basically interchangeable terms to describe the same thing: pop culture paganism and witchcraft that is based on and takes inspiration from the Legend of Zelda series! The term Mudora comes specifically from an important key item in A Link to the Past called the Book of Mudora. It was an ancient book of Hylian lore that Link needed to decipher the ancient Hylian language.
Hyrulian Pc came first in the tumnlr community though, and is based on the term Hyrulians, which is used to describe all the peoples of Hyrule collectively!
Cool! But what about deities?
Congratulations! You have options! Obviously the most well known deities of the series are the Golden Goddesses (the GG), Din, Nayru, and Farore. Theyâre considered the main deities of the series and are the main part of the creation myth of the land and of course the Triforce.
Other Deities in the Series, including minor/local deities:
Hylia, the White Goddess, tasked with protecting the Triforce and Hyrule after the Golden Goddesses left.
The Great Fairies and the Queen of the Fairies
The Windfish, whose dreams created the island of Koholint
Lord Jabu-Jabu/Jabun, the guardian of the Zora
The Goddess of the Sand, of the Gerudo Desert. Little is known about her.
The Great Deku Tree, guardian of the Kokiri and Koroks
The Four Giants of Termina
The Goddess of Time of Termina. Theorized to be the Goddess Hylia, but her true nature is unknown.
The Fierce Deity of Termina, destroyer of the wicked Majora. Not much is known about him.
The Great Maku Trees, guardians of the lands of Labrynna and Holodrum
Valoo, dragon guardian of the Rito
Cyclos and Zephos, the Wind Gods of the Great Sea. Cyclos may be considered a trickster, as he likes to create cyclones that can drop seafarers in a random location, but will grant hisnpower to the one that defeats him.
The Four Light Spirits Ordona, Faron, Eldin and Lanayru
The Ocean King, of the Land of the Ocean King
The Spirits of Good of New Hyrule
The Mountain Goddess, guardian of the Gorons
The Three Dragons, Faron, Eldin and Lanayru, protectors of the Surface
Levias, the Sky Whale, protector of Skyloft and the Sky
The Dragon Spirits, Farosh, Dinraal, and Naydra who protect Hyrule and serve its shrines
Malanya, God of Horses, able to revive any horse for a small offering of Endura Carrots
Wow! Thatâs a lot! But what if Iâm interested in working with spirits or the characters instead?
Excellent question! Thereâs plenty of those too!
Some Characters and Spirits you could work with:
Zelda, Princess of Destiny, descendent of the Goddess Hylia
The Sages: Rauru, Saria, Ruto, Darunia, Impa, Nabooru, Makar and Medli
The Champions: Mipha, Daruk, Revali, and Urbosa
The Champions Descendents/Successors: Sidon, Yunobo, Teba, and Riju
Midna, Princess of Twilight
Fi, the Spirit of the Goddess Sword
Nayru the Oracle of Ages, Din the Oracle of Seasons and Farore the Oracle of Secrets
Fairies, such as Navi, Tatl and Tael
The Sheikah and the Gerudo
Kikwis, Mogmas, Ancient Robots, and the Parella
You could also work with the series villains! Exercise caution, these guys are pretty notorious for betraying their allies. A few you can consider:
Demise, the Demon King. Started this mess. Cursed the Goddessâs Chosen Hero and the Goddessâs Mortal Incarnation to an eternal cycle of rebirth with his own soul to make them suffer. Sealed by the Goddess Hylia and the Hero. 0/10 Would not recommend, hates all creatures of Light.
Ganon/Ganondorf. Main bad guy of the series. Reincarnation of Demise. Also called the Demon King, Demon Thief, and Dark Beast. Has a beast form in some, but not all games he appears in. Wants to rule Hyrule with an iron fist.
Ghirahim, the Sword Spirit. Calls himself Demon Lord, he is a servant of Demise and the spirit of Demiseâs evil sword. Has excellent personal style and a penchant for flare and drama. Very bad temper, he is often single minded in his fury.
The Wind Mage Vaati. A Minish apprenticed to the Sorceror Ezlo. Attempts to steal the Light Force and achieve god-like power, he betrayed his master to steal the magic cap that provides his powers.
Majora, Demonic Entity of Termina. Not much is known about Majora aside from it being a powerful evil spirit. Itâs said that a tribe once existed that worshipped it and would invoke itâs powers through a heart-shaped mask. In the manga, it is depicted as a dragon, where it was killed by the Fierce Deity after it attempted to destroy Termina in the past, and was sealed into a mask made of the dead dragonâs hide. It attempts to bring down the moon during the Carnival of Time.
Zant, the Usurper King. A Twili in line for the throne of the Twilight Realm. His greed, ambition and weak magic made the rest of the Twili distrust him and he was passed over. Ganondorf, banished to the Twilight Realm, provided him with more magic, which Zant in turn used to assault the Palace of Twilight and usurp the throne from Midna. Proceeds to take over both the Twilight Realm and the Light World, using cursed Twili as his soldiers.
The Witches Twinrova. Gerudo witches who are sisters, they wield the power of fire and ice. Can combine into one entity for more power. Raised Ganondorf as their son, and make several attempts to resurrect him, including causing the events in Labrynna and Holodrum. They bicker, a lot.
Neat! But what if I donât want to work with anyone?
Good question! Some people just donât vibe with entities and thatâs okay! You have a couple options here too!
The Triforce. The remnants of the Golden Goddesses power after they created, and then left, Hyrule. Said to grant any wish to one who has a balance of the Goddesses Virtues in their hearts. Splits into three if your heart is unbalanced, but even a single piece can provide immense power.
The Light Force. Theorized as being the living energy in all things created by the GG, it was likely created by the Goddess Farore when she poured her soul upon the land. Probably the easiest divine energy to reach as its basically the energy of everything.
The Elements of the Sages. You donât have to work with the Sages to work with their elements. Light, Forest, Fire, Water, Shadow, Spirit, Earth and Wind appear everywhere.
The Goddess Flames, three sacred fires created by Hylia using remnants of the GGâs magic. Used by the Hero to temper the Goddess Sword into the Blade of Evilâs Bane, the flames are eternally burning and can be a useful source of magic to draw from.
Music. Music is pretty integral to the series, with instruments being main plot items (such as the Ocarina of Time or the Goddess Harp) or useful key items for accessing dungeons and secrets.
Wow! Thatâs so much to choose from! But how do I get started?
Another excellent question mysterious reader! Thereâs a number of ways to get started. You could make a small ritual to get their attention, and ask them about working with them, or go super simple and just make a small offering and asking for someone to speak to you. Itâs all up to you! In the next post, Iâll give some examples of short rituals to try out based on the elements or other details associated with the various beings!
