Aaaa I loved drawing this!! You’re the cutest 🫶

Inspiration:

Red Hunter: Minhota clothes, Falcata sword (representing the north of Portugal)
Blue Hunter: Varina clothes, legend of the Aljubarrota Baker (representing the center of Portugal)
Yellow hunter: Alentejo clothes, sickle for field workers (representing the south of Portugal)

I definitely see the connection! Since Ataegina and Endovellico are also agricultural deities, they could have shared similarities in their relationship to Geshtinanna and Dumuzi.

🌿🐐Connection🌿🐐

Ataegina and Endovellico are often paired together. Their cults were close. We don’t know the nature of their relationship. It is (too) popular to assign them the roles of Hades and Persephone . It’s possible they could have shared a cult for both being underworld guides. #witchsky

🐐Ataegina🐐
Goddess of the underworld, spring, fertility, curses, goats;
Has defined function as Queen of the Underworld, having direct association with Proserpina. Also share similarities to Astarte and Inanna. #witchsky #pagansky

🌿Endovellico🌿
God of vegetation, boars, mountains, healers, psychopomps;
One of the most worshipped gods of the pantheon, shares similarities to Jupiter, Apollo, Mercury and Asclepius. #witchsky #pagansky

In this thread, I will cover modern perceptions of them, and will accompany each with my own art of them. May they find their cult in the now so they can be more known.
(None of this replaces researching academic and spiritual works on them)

This leads to the mystery around them, having little academic consensus on their practices and even domains. There are no myths, just names on stones and patterns identified through syncretism.
