It's the Day of Selene / Luna's Day / #Monday! 🌛

The dual deity Mawu-Lisa came to the #Fon pantheon from the Aja people. In the dual Mawu-Lisa, #Mawu is female and Lisa male. Their union is regarded as the basis of the universal order. The Fon identify Mawu with the #moon, night, fertility, motherhood, gentleness, forgiveness, rest, and joy while Lisa is the sun. They are the parents of #Hevioso, God of Thunder.

It's the #DayOfZeus / Jupiter's Day / #Thursday! ⚡

For #BlackHistoryMonth, I want to introduce African deities in my daily god toots. Today, meet Zeus' colleague #Hevioso, the God of Thunder & Lightning from #Benin. He's also a God of Justice, punishing evildoers through death by lightning. Therefore, people killed by lightning don't receive a proper burial but are ritually burnt. If Hevioso's lightning sets a house on fire it must not be put out & can't be rebuilt before the rite of atonement.
