TIRAWA
"In the
autumn his children were hungry and wild, and Yig was hungry and wild, too. All the tribes made
medicine against Yig when the corn harvest came. They gave him some corn, and danced in proper
regalia to the sound of whistle, rattle, and drum. They kept the drums pounding to drive Yig
away, and called down the aid of Tiráwa, whose children men are, even as the snakes are
Yig’s children."
H.P. Lovecraft & Zealia Bishop, The Curse Of Yig
"According to the Pawnee, the world was created by
the god Tirawa, who sent the stars to support the sky. Some brighter
stars were in charge of the clouds, winds and rain. This was to ensure
the fertility of the Earth. Some lesser stars became jealous. "
Julia Gunyuk, Tirawa
