Leuada is the primordial father of all the gods except for Dhegoma, who was sired by Leuadas twin, Tàmhas. Leuada is the sleeping sun god who has remained in a never-ending slumber since the “Days of Gold. He sleeps at the centre of Concavia, orbited by four ring-shaped “moons” whose moving shadows are called “night”. He is the twin of the dark lord Tàmhas and also, his diametrical opposite. Leuada is light; Tàmhas is darkness. Leuada is within Concavia; Tàmhas is without.
Worship of Leuada is standard in most cultures, he is the sun, after all. While the accounts of most gods have grown increasingly skewed across generations, reshaped to reflect local traditions, sometimes split into many deities and sometimes merged into new ones, Leuada remains a constant figure in every tradition, for his presence is felt in daily life, though called by different names. Like a river branching from its source, Leuada’s tale has wandered, yet almost everywhere he is honoured as the life-giver and sustainer of all things.
His devotees affirm the here and now, giving thanks for the life allotted to them in his warmth. Whereas worshippers of Tàmhas resent Leuada for the suffering bound to the world he shaped, worshippers of Leuada are grateful for the time they are given. To them, to dwell in his light is nothing less than a blessing.
