Description
In this week's episode, professor and goddess researcher Colette Numajiri joins Meg to share her knowledge of the Japanese Goddess Amaterasu. Amaterasu Omikami ('the Great Divinity Illuminating Heaven') is the most high deity of the Shintō religion. Regarded as the Queen of Heaven, she is embodied as the sun and is depicted as such in Japan's current flag. This idea of the sun as a goddess, rather than a god, is rare and may survive from the most archaic of world mythologies. Listen in as Colette and Meg share portions of Her story and reflect on modern iterations and applications as they travel back in time and space to the origins of the land of the rising sun.
