    CREEK MYTHOLOGY

    This thread is for all those people who like the subject. I hope it's more popular than my last thread.

    Originally posted by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creek_mythology

    The Creek believe that the world was originally entirely underwater. The only land was a hill, called Nunne Chaha, and on the hill was a house, wherein lived Esaugetuh Emissee ("master of breath"). He created humanity from the clay on the hill.

    The Creek also venerated the Horned Serpent Sint Holo, who appeared to suitably wise young men.

    In the underworld, there was only chaos and odd creatures. Master of Breath created Brother Moon and Sister Sun, as well as the four directions to hold up the world.

    The first people were the offspring of Sister Sun and the Horned Serpent. These first two Creeks were Lucky Hunter and Corn Woman, denoting their respective roles in creek Society.

    Hisagita-imisi (meaning "preserver of breath"; also Hisakitaimisi) was the supreme god, a solar deity. He is also called Ibofanga ("the one who is sitting above (us)").

      Well, the Horned Serpent is one piece of Creek mythology. It is a mystical, invisible, serpent with horns appearing in the mythologies of many Native Americans. He brought rain and made a noise similar to (but not the same as) thunder.

      The Horned Serpent was venerated, in various forms, by the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Creek.

          Too late for wishful thinking.

          Personally, I find parody threads amusing, until it gets run into the ground.

            I don't know whether to be glad or bummed that this topic isn't about rivers.
            The Cyclops having only one eye, needed to seek shelter from the harsh sun. The shadow cast by the spheres gave him temporary respite.

              Well, it's got the word water in it. What more do you want?

                You highlighted the word wate though.
