伊邪那美命 | izanami no mikoto

↳ “she who invites”

izanami is a creation goddess who created the islands of japan with her brother-husband, izanagi no mikoto. she died giving birth to the fire god kagu-tsuchi, and izanagi traveled to yomi, the underworld, to get her back. at first, izanagi could not see her as she was hidden in shadows. izanami told her husband that she had already eaten the food of the underworld and could no longer return to the land of the living. izanagi refused to leave her in yomi. while she slept, he took the comb from his hair and set it alight. upon seeing the rotting corpse of his wife, izanagi fled the underworld and sealed the entrance with a boulder. engraged, izanami told him that she would kill 1,000 of the living evey day. in retaliation, izanagi retorted that he would give life to 1,500 people each day.

mythology family ♥︎ saraswati for @juliakaze

saraswati (sanskrit: सरस्वती, sarasvatī) is the hindu goddess of knowledge, music, art, wisdom and learning. she is a part of the trinity (tridevi) of saraswati, lakshmi and parvati. all the three forms help the trinity of brahma, vishnu and shiva to create, maintain and regenerate the universe. saraswati is often depicted as a beautiful woman dressed in pure white, often seated on a white lotus, which symbolizes light, knowledge and truth. her iconography is typically in white themes from dress to flowers to swan – the colour symbolizing purity, discrimination for true knowledge, insight and wisdom.
