The Story of Beginning
|
|
|
|
In the beginning there was chaos. Two gods came across it and could not
|
|
decide what they should do with the chaos. One wanted to form order out
|
|
of it but the other wanted to get rid of the chaos and start afresh from
|
|
emptiness. They agreed to wrestle to settle the issue. They wrestled for
|
|
a while, and the one favoring order won.
|
|
|
|
The other god agreed that they should therefore make order out of the
|
|
chaos, and they got to work. However, the disagreement had created a crack
|
|
in their relationship and they often bickered about the direction to take.
|
|
In the end, the two gods agreed that each would get one side of the world
|
|
to work on: The one favoring making order from chaos got the light side,
|
|
and was known as Omunnod which means 'the greatest light'. And the one
|
|
favoring going first to nothing got the dark side, and was known as
|
|
Emelled 'the greatest darkness'.
|
|
|
|
From that day onward the two gods still continue their work, but each
|
|
staying out of the other's area. We are a creation of Omunnod, and so we
|
|
too ought to stay away when the darkness of Emelled comes.
