Myth Tales Vol. 2: The Wonderfully Unhinged Susanoo (Ep. 173)
Description
Ever wonder what happens when a Japanese god has serious anger management issues? This is the second episode in my Myth Tales series, and I want to share what I discovered about Susanoo, the storm deity whose story completely surprised me.
Here's what fascinated me most about researching Susanoo - this isn't your typical heroic god story. Without giving too much away, let's just say his relationship with his sister (who happens to be the sun goddess) gets... complicated. And the consequences affect literally everyone.
What I find most intriguing is how this tempestuous deity's journey takes him from cosmic family drama to facing something truly terrifying - but I'll let you discover those details yourself.
Come with me as I explore this Japanese mythology that feels surprisingly relatable in ways I didn't expect.
