BOWYNN GODS: SUMON
Sumon (Su-mon) Sumon is the ancient and primordial god of all waters and the water element. He is the creation of Bia and one of the creators of mankind. Sumon is the consort of the goddess Phoenix. Through which they produced a lineage of other gods.
In the creation of mankind, Brea, goddess of the earth, had tried to form mankind with earth from the ground. But the earth was dry and would not stay together. It was Sumon that added his gift of water to the dirt and made it moldable and gave mankind blood. It was also Sumon that filled the earth’s canyons and chasms with water, creating oceans, seas and rivers, thus dividing lands into continents.
Sumon is seen as an older man of grandfather years, with a beard and long white wavy hair. His eyes are said to be a deep-sea green. In his godly form some have seen Summon in a simple himation wrapped about his body. Others however have seen him more fully dressed, in royal garments of blues and greens, embroidered in silver and jeweled with abalone and other seashells. In hand Sumon holds an ornate staff of silver laced with pearls, shell and turquoise. Sumon’s totem form is that of a great whale. Sacred to Sumon is sea and fresh-water fish, water, sea plants, pond plants and flowers like water lilies, and votive images of fish and sea life.
