Lots of ancient cultures had myths associated with eclipses. In Hindu mythology, a demon named Rahu tried to steal the gods’ nectar, only to be caught and beheaded by Vishnu. Here’s Rahu, looking hungry:

The decapitation must have been a vigorous one because Rahu’s head sailed perpetually through the heavens. When Rahu crossed paths with the sun, he swallowed it, creating an eclipse; but, being a decapitated head, he couldn’t really digest the sun. It came out through his severed throat, making all eclipses temporary.

This relief from the 700s shows Rahu lying in wait next to various celestial bodies — the sun, moon, and planets. A comet (indicated by its tail) is to his right:

{Buy me a coffee} {WHF} {Medium} {Looking Through the Past}

“Varda commanded the Moon to journey in like manner, and passing under Earth to arise in the east, but only after the Sun had descended from heaven. But Tilion went with uncertain pace, as yet he goes, and was still drawn towards Arien, as he shall ever be; so that often both may be seen above the Earth together, or at times it will chance that he comes so nigh that his shadow cuts off her brightness and there is a darkness amid the day.”

Of the Sun and the Moon and the Hiding of Valinor (The Silmarillion), JRR Tolkien

I’m really excited about the eclipse because I’m going to be able to see 94% of it

Helios alone under the cut since I haven’t drawn him before

It’s really haphazard just because I knew he’d be obscured by both Selene and the effects. It’s mainly his hair and chlamys that’s definitive. There are twelve rays.

Moon God Lust!

(TW—Lore includes S.A! This was heavily inspired by the story of Medusa!)

It is said every total solar eclipse, is the sign of a new born God.

Lust was a loyal follower of the Lunar entity, the moon. He did everything as inscription told him to, worshipped every night and made offerings before rest.

And in return, he was rewarded for his loyalty. He'd always been blessed with pleasant dreams, finding gifts on his doorstep, to have the best harvest. The moon favoured him as the head, the most devoted worshipper.

Lust, had other traits besides his undying loyalty. He seemed keen on romance, he was beautiful, he sparked jealously in the eyes of others.

But Dispite this, he swore never to tie himself down. He'd always communicate with partners he did not seek marriage or strong bonds, and his only true commitment with lay within the celestial being.

One day, the jealousy of one went too far. A fellow moon worshiper, a bigger and stronger person than him, a woman faster than him, was blinded by her jealousy. Clearly, she should've been honoured as most devoted in her eyes, she worked twice as hard as that skeleton!

The horrid woman used her physical advantages over him one day, forcing herself apon him during worship, staining the sacred grounds with her violence.

She was sure the moon would punish Lust for it. She'd claim she were the victim, and she'd be the favourite. Not considering the sheer consequences this would have on Lust, how broken he felt for it happening.

But instead, the entity had watched, disappointed in her. The moon began to rise at day, confusion spread within the common folk. As the moon came to a halt, right in front of the sun. Making only a ring of light appear in the sky.

Lust laid crying in the place of worship, as he heard a whisper.

Child, loyal to me. I burden you not with your mortality any longer. Came the voice of the moon, whispy and feminine in nature.

And Lust was picked up from the ground, tears crystallize into delicate thread that decorated the robe he now adorned, as his skeleton shifted to a purple, and was gifted a mark of the moon.

As the first, total solar eclipse happened. Was born a God, Lunarst, the personification of the moon.

And, the woman? Oh, she was dealt with. As the moon did not let her rest from that day forward. Owls and raccoons and bears sent after her at night, water tainted if she were to touch it, and her injuries no longer healed.

It's said now, Lunarst is part of the three in the celestial court. Along with the God of Planet, and Sun. To this day, even as a godly being, he grieves over what happened. Lives as a sign of survival, and inspires hope into his own worshippers.

“idk who needs to hear this but 🤪” so many people have no business doing that big november writing challenge this year. if it’s seriously stressing you out it might be because you realize your energy would be better spent participating in direct action & protest against the israeli/american aggression against occupied palestine. one in ten of you never got over your covid infections. sit the challenge out LMAO baruch hashem you are alive

#the productivity myth as it applies to unpaid creative labor remains baffling to me.#especially when it eclipses being a part of the world one might hope to make art out of #or allowing your body to see you through that artmaking LOL #i see americans Grinding art during a war our gov is lying about and a pandemic our gov is lying about….#like fuckin pause. pause a minute.#and no i don’t mean Its Morally Bad To Make Art Right Now. i mean if you feel yourself unable to miserably hustle your Passion atm #it’s not bc your brain is bad lol #it might be that circumstances require something different of you right now

Eclipses have long held celestial/mythical importance and awing power in mythos and cultures across the world.

They are an event that literally have their own mythology - reasons for why they happen throughout ancient civilizations and the stories are wondrous and awesome.

In your god au what would an eclipse be?

Solar eclipse (moon between sun and earth) is when Brook and Luffy dance together

Lunar eclipse (earth between moon and sun) is when Brook and Luffy play hide and seek

Hey guys, who saw the solar eclipse today and automatically thought of their respective mythology instead of the proper scientific explanation behind it?

#solar eclipse #mythology #every mythology has an explanation for solar eclipses #I feel like Egyptian and Aztec myths fit the best ngl
