Samoan Gods/Goddesses

Post by Nevalyn Sunwillow »

I'm trying to make a connection between my culture and deities. But--I'm having difficulties finding such for Samoa. Any one have some information to offer?

According to this it does:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samoan_mythology
I am the Earth, The Sun and the Stars
And I am the also the Moon
I am all animal and birds,
And I am the outcast as well, and the thief
I am the low person of dreadful deeds,
And the great person of excellent deeds
I am Female. I am Male and I am Neuter.

But people were living there before Christianity even existed. Christianity wouldn't have had much of a chance to be known there before the 18th century, and actual missionary records seem to start a century later. Like many indigenous religions I'm sure it's possible some information was lost along the way, but there certainly was a religion there before Christianity.
