Life Cycle Spirits

"Map the biological and spiritual algorithms of existence. Life Cycle Spirits govern the critical phases of birth, life, death, and rebirth. This catalog details deities of fertility and nourishment like Oshun and Yemaya, alongside those who preside over transition and the afterlife, such as Oya (goddess of the wind and cemetery gates) and Olokun (Igbo water deity). This is a functional analysis of how mythology provides a structured, sacred framework for understanding the most profound human experiences, from the joy of birth to the mystery of death."
