Where The Sun God And The Sun Goddess Came From

By Haywood Raptis


Over time there have been many religions and they are always changing. Each region of the world has a different set of beliefs. Our sun is a big part of the reason for some of these beliefs. Some have a sun god and some of them use a sun goddess.

It doesn't matter if they have a sun god or sun goddess in their religion, at the core it is all the same. We are warmed by the warmth of the sun. It makes light so that we can see. Plant life thrives on our planet because of the sun. It keeps us alive.

Those who are thankful to the sun believe that they should be because it provides for them. They feel that they should be thankful to what gives life and nurtures it. They often times will worship the sun or create a sun god or sun goddess to represent it.

In some cultures the sun god or sun goddess stands for fertility. The sun is held at the helm of birth and replenishing the earth with new life. Some couples will pray to have a fertility idol or sun goddess present when they are trying to conceive a child.

A sun god or sun goddess may have been thought to have ridden in chariots in the sky. Other people thought that they may have worked with perhaps another sun god or sun goddess to actually moved the sun through orbit.

Many forms have been given to both the sun god and sun goddess. Owls and lions are among those. They have been depicted as humans and even giants.

The sun god and sun goddess were known by many different names over time. In Greece, the idol of the sun god was known as Apollo. It was said that Apollo had a chariot that he used to ride in. He was held responsible for the movement of the sun.

When it comes to the Ancient Norse religion, they had both a sun god and a sun goddess. The male entity was referred to as Freyr and rode a boar. He was believed to sail across the seas in a ship and when his ship was not on the water, he folded it up and placed it in his pocket.

When it comes to any religion, there is always those who find it all a little hard to believe. Even the stories of Jesus seem a little out there to some. Walking on water and transforming plain water into wine just doesn't seem feasible to those who are skeptic.

No matter what you believe, it is unlikely that no one religion will ever be proven 100% right or real. The peoples of the world needed an answer for why the sun was in the sky, why the sky was blue and even to why and how they ended up on the earth. Religion is freedom and you should follow your heart when choosing whether you want to believe in a sun god or a sun goddess or whatever else may feel right to you.
