One of them, Santa Liberata or Santa Librada, is venerated for favoring childbirth.
In the Finnish Mythology the air goddess Ilmatar comes down to primal waters, when a bird lands on her knee and lays six eggs. When the eggs become too hot, she moves her leg, causing the eggs to crash into the water and form the earth, moon, stars, and sun. #FolkloreThursday
In Slavic mythology, in the beginning, there was darkness, inhabited by Rod, and an egg that contained Svarog. The egg opened, and Svarog climbed out; the dust from the eggshell formed the sacred tree which rose to separate the heavens from the sea and the land. #FolkloreThursday

Yae only has 5 tails in her burst as opposed to 9 that’s usually associated with Kitsune. Yae can’t be much older than 500 years old as she was only a child when Saiguu died 500 years ago. In folklore number of tails indicates an older and wiser Kitsune. #yaemiko #GenshinImpact
