In this episode of The Moon in Carolina, host Shelby Bundy explores the mythology of the sun — the deities across world traditions who were understood to carry the light, fight for it, and in some cases withdraw it entirely. We look at Ra, the Egyptian sun god who sailed his barque through the underworld each night and battled the serpent Apophis before every dawn could come. At the Greek figures of Helios and Apollo, who represent two very different ideas about what the sun actually means. And at Amaterasu, the Japanese sun goddess whose retreat into a cave plunged the world into darkness — and what it took to bring her back.
We also look at the tradition that tends to get overlooked: the feminine sun, and the Norse, Celtic, and Baltic goddesses who held the light before the solar mythology we inherited took its current shape.
