YHI
Yhi
In
Australian Aboriginal mythology (specifically: Karraur), Yhi is a goddess of light and creation, and a
solar deity. She lived in the
Dream time and
slept until a whistle awakened her. When she opened her
eyes, light fell on the
Earth. She walked the earth and
plants grew where she walked. Soon the whole world was covered with foliage. She decided that, in addition to plants, she wanted to make something that could
dance. Searching for such an
organism, Yhi found evil spirits beneath the earth who tried to sing her to death. But her warmth chased away the darkness and
insects of all kinds were created from it. She brought them to Earth and then found some
ice caves in a
mountain. She shined her light on the being resting inside and
fishes and
lizards came out, along with many other kinds of
birds,
mammals and
amphibians. She then returned to her own world and blessed her creations with the change of the
seasons and promised that, when they died, they would join her in the sky. When she disappeared, darkness came back and covered the Earth. The organisms thought she was not returning and were sad, but then came the first
sunrise and Yhi returned.

Yhi drifted down to this new land, walking north, south, east, west. As she did, plants sprang up from her footprints. She walked the world's surface until she had stepped everywhere, until every inch was covered with green. Then the goddess sat to rest on the treeless plain. As she glanced around, she realized that the new plants could not move, and she desired to see something dance. Seeking that dancing life, she descended beneath the earth, where she found evil spirits who tried to sing her to death. But they were not as powerful as Yhi. Her warmth melted the darkness, and tiny forms began to move there. The forms turned into butter...
