The tallest mountain in Spain known as Teide isn't really on the mainland but rather on the Canary Islands. The mountain was considered sacred to the aboriginal people that lived there. They believed that a evil-god named Guayota imprisoned Magec (god of sun and light) and plunged the world into darkness. That was until the Supreme God Achaman defeated Guayota and rescued Magec.
Fascinating. I wasn't familiar with that legend.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your weekend to the max.
Wow, I had no idea about this, never heard about this legend!
ReplyDeleteWell that's three gods no one worship anymore, at least I think.
ReplyDeleteSo many, many gods.
ReplyDeleteThere sure are a lot of angry gods that people believed in.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite interesting
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mountain.
ReplyDeleteA legend I was not aware of.
ReplyDeleteThe Spanish Canary Islands are most interesting and unfortunately
ReplyDeletein recent times has the distinction of having the worst major
air disaster (well on the tarmac) in history. KLM and Pan Am
747's smashing into each other. Seems to be an accident that
is impossible to believe could have happened.
