Stellar Deities - Amatsu-Mikaboshi, Atarsamain, Urcuchillay, (Paperback)


Chapters: Amatsu-Mikaboshi, Atarsamain, Urcuchillay, . Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 16. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: In Japanese mythology, Amatsu-Mikaboshi (ja:, "August Star of Heaven"), also called Ame-no-kagaseo(ja:, "Brilliant Male"), is the god of evil and of the stars, specifically the pole star. The exact details and characterizations of the Amatsu-Mikaboshi are very cloudy or unclear, as he (or it) is rarely if ever mentioned in any of the typically referenced texts of East Asian Mythology. From what can be gleaned and pieced together from ancient Japanese myths, the Mikaboshi is not a physical god like Amaterasu or Susanoo, but a dark Force that existed before the universe, reigning alone in absolute darkness and control. Something happened, however, and in one brief instance the iron control of the Dark Force of the Mikaboshi was shattered by the movement of In and Yo, which brought forth the Universe and the active chaos of life and movement, which later became the gods and humanity. The solidity of the Primordial Darkness had been destroyed, but its residue still lingered on in the hearts of all beings and is allegedly the cause of human passions. The Mikaboshi originated as an antithesis to the positive forces of life in Shinto, thus its lack of a singular form. It is a force of absolute domination that feeds off of human emotions that, if left unchecked, result in social, emotional, or physical destruction. For instance, a desire for success can lead to greed and lust for power, which is the result of the influence of the Mikaboshi's residue. Love for another can lead to obsession or jealousy, also result of these dark influences. In this respect the Mikaboshi could be thought of as being a Japanese "Satan figure."
