Maramadyn
The Goddess of Growing
|
 |
Maramadyn, the goddess
of growing is probably one of the most important
goddesses of them all.
My fellow Sumerians and
I pray to her before we go to sleep. We pray to her
because we want our crops to grow without dying.
Maramadyn helps all
things grow. Just to name a few things she helps us grow
. . . crops, bones, children, grass, flowers, trees,
sheep, goats, hair, and anything else you can think of.
Her tears provide water to help things grow.
This
amazing goddess only has one main characteristic,
generosity.
|
| She could
be extremely generous by growing our crops. However, she
was only generous under one circumstance, that we
acknowledge her by praying and asking politely for
growth. She enjoys watching people working on their
crops and working together. The people who achieve those
goals are the ones who get their wishes.
As a Sumerian, I am
very, very lucky to have such an amazing goddess. |
