Im gonna be digging into the Shintou gods and the creation story. I always forget their names, but i want to compare and contrast the ancient Japanese beliefs with the Norse and Greek and see how much overlap there is.
The one thing I know, Amaterasu no Mikoto is the goddess who created the islands of Japan, but she was the daughter of two other gods, male and female (i always forget their names). These two gods birthed 9 gods i think it was, and they all have something related to the human condition (emotions, and all sorts of shit).
BTW serious question for you: How much of the aryan beliefs mention rivers and oceans, and the outlets where the two meet? I read something super interesting and i wanna know if you know anything in the aryan beliefs related to this geographical feature.
