There are many examples of Solar Goddesses throughout the world. In the Gran Chaco region of Argentina, the Toba people honored the Sun Goddess Akewa. Long ago, she and her radiant sisters illuminated the sky, but they were curious about Earth and the men who lived there (without women), so they climbed down a rope to visit them. The men cut the rope, preventing the star-women from ever returning to the heavens, but only Akewa remained in the sky as she had not yet descended. Each day she walks above the Earth from one side to the next, reminding all women that they are related to Her. On occasion a giant jaguar tries to eat her, resulting in a solar eclipse, but Akewa always escapes, as she is too hot for the jaguar to completely consume.
Blessings of the Solar eclipse - may you be transformed in brilliance!
