Ghæläi

Ghæläi, known to most as the moon, is a goddess and the subservient wife of Ghøläi in Rothränji mythology. She is the second of the deities of creation, the mother of all life and the patron deity of women.
While Ghøläi created the world, he knew he was not delicate enough to create life and thus asked that Ghæläi create beings to inhabit his world. Naturally she complied, resulting in the creation of all life on the planet - from humans to plants. Furthermore she deemed that the creation of life should forever be a task for women and so bestowed upon them an aspect of her power, granting them the ability to create lives within themselves.
It is customary for families to make offerings to Ghæläi when they are seeking to create a child or when childbirth is approaching and great rituals are frequently held for her and her husband in order to honour their power, wisdom and benevolance.
