Myth
The sole reality acknowledged was precisely the Most High, who, in proceeding to the creation of the World, was conceived in his creative aspect as Rod the All-Sustainer.
In addition to the Guide who helps the soul cross from life to death, this journey requires a figure who makes the process irreversible. It is precisely the Ferryman’s function of severing ties that renders him the bleakest character in the drama of disembodiment.
The Vertical Flow, comprising both descending and ascending currents of force, has several symbols; the best known among them is the image of the Chariot of the Most High — the Merkabah (Heb. מֶרְכָּבָה, “chariot”).
Just as air embodied the principle of horizontal mobility, so the Earth Element corresponds to horizontal inertia.
The fertilizing activity that fills and permeates the cosmos corresponds to the Element of Air.
The element of Water corresponds to the passive, feminine principle of fluidity, adaptability, and to the Descending movement of Power.
As we have already said, Fire is considered the Element of an object’s Activity, its ascending force.

The Tauri — Indo-European first-settlers of Crimea — also revered the Great Goddess.

She was the great goddess of the earth, of the waters, and of all animal and plant life — sovereign of every life and every birth.
Tabiti was called “the Queen of the Scythians”; she appears as the Lady-goddess of the subterranean fire. She is a formidable, “enkindling” Goddess, whose various functions were those of the household fire, the sacrificial fire, and, consequently, of prayer.
Although, according to Herodotus, “Among the Scythians there are many diviners who predict by means of numerous willow rods as follows: bringing large bundles of rods and laying them on the ground, they spread them apart and then, moving the rods one by one, they divine; speaking the predictions, they at the same time gather the rods again and lay them out one by one. Such is their ancestral method of divination,” the most venerated of the seers were precisely the Enarei, for the Great Goddess had given them this faculty.
Based on the beliefs of the peoples of Dahomey (now Benin, located in the region between the modern states of Togo to the west and Nigeria to the east) and their synthesis with Catholicism in Haiti several centuries ago, a system of beliefs emerged — Voodoo. A similar religion, Santería, based on the beliefs of the Yoruba people, arose in Cuba; macumba, likewise rooted in Yoruba beliefs, appeared in Brazil.
