description: Does the mention of a sun deity make you think of Apollo? Perhaps you should envision a female divinity instead! Unlike the Greeks many Indo-European peoples probably believed a goddess ruled our bright blazing star. So dispense with the stereotypes of mainstream culture and set out on a journey of discovery to bring this long-forgotten idol into focus. Through etymology mythology and religion a compelling argument emerges for seeing the sun in feminine terms. Norse Baltic Celtic and Hittite legends goddesses named Sol and Saule plus pictures of a variety of artifacts lend weight to this eye-opening thesis.
