HINE-TITAMA
Maori Dawn Goddess
Also known as Hina-Titama, Hinetitama
Goddess of Dawn and Maiden of Light
Being married to Tane, the God of Forests, was wonderful. Until a little bird told her that he was also her father. Hine-Titama was so shocked that she ran all the way to the Underworld, locked herself in and refused to come out.
Eventually a saddened Tane decreed that from now, on she would be known as Hine-nui-te-po, the Goddess of Death and Darkness. So now she takes care of the dead and waits for the souls of her departed children, grandchildren, and great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren.
