myths around the world challenge: @ibuzoo & @thewinedarksea fijian - degei, the supreme god
myths around the world challenge: @ibuzoo & @thewinedarkseafijian - degei, the supreme god of fiji. he judges newly dead souls after they pass through one of two caves: cibaciba or drakulu, and is said to have at first moved about freely, but then in the form of a snake to have grown into the earth with his ringed tail. since then he has become the god of earthquakes, storms, and seasons. whenever degei shakes himself fertilising rain will fall and the yam fields will yield an excellent crop. degei is also a god of wrath. -- source link
