Why There Is A Sun God And Sun Goddess

By Haywood Raptis


Since the beginning of time there have been religions and they have been constantly changing. Each region of the world believes something different. The sun is at the center of most religions. Having a sun god or sun goddess is normal for most of them.

No matter which they chose to have, at its core it was the same belief. The sun warms us with its heat. It provides light so that we can see in the darkness. Its rays help plant life flourish on the Earth thus providing sustenance for all who inhabit it. It is the reason we are alive.

Most who hold the sun as a god or goddess believe that they should be thankful to what provides life to us all. The sun keeps us alive and the earth cradles us. They either worship the sun itself or create an entity to represent the sun.

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.

Some people thought that a sun god and sun goddess may have rode the skies in chariots. They thought that some gods were responsible for the suns movement and even the weather.

The sun god and sun goddess come in many shapes and have many names. They could look like an animal or a human. Some have been in the shape of lions and owls.

The sun god and the sun goddess have been known under many names. In Greece the sun god was called Apollo. It was thought that he flew threw the sky in a chariot. The Greeks thought that he was responsible for the sun moving around the earth.

The Norse had both a sun god and sun goddess. They called their male sun idol Freyr and they believed he rode a boar. It was said that he had a ship he used to sail across the world. When his ship was not in use, he could fold it up and put it in his pocket. Sol was the name of their sun goddess and she rode the skies in a chariot similar to the Greeks Apollo.

Some of these things sound a little far fetched but, even modern day stories of Jesus to some seem a little far fetched. Some just cannot believe in walking on water and making wine without grapes

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.
