Origin

The Earth is often deified and associated with a figure with chthonic or terrestrial attributes, and is more often portrayed as a female goddess than a male god; Earth goddesses are often associated with the chthonic deities of the underworld. The worship and deification of fire as a concept throughout various cultures sometimes blend with this, with some deities having a domain such as "earthly fire" or volcanoes that exist at an intersection between the concepts. Examples of such deities include Aganju, the Santeria volcano deity; Rūaumoko, the Māori god of earthquakes, volcanoes and seasons; Uorsar, the Adyghe Khabze goddess of fire and the earth; Svarožič, the Slavic god of earthly fire; and Nusku, Mesopotamian god of heavenly and earthly fire and light.
