Reading Notes: 7 Secrets of the Goddess, part A

These reading notes come from Epified's 7 Secrets of the Goddess. The excerpt I chose happens at 0:26

Before time, Yama and Yami lived as brother and sister. Yami, becoming lonely, fell in love with her brother, and made advances on them. Yama rejected her advances on the basis of morality. This rejection curses Yama, and he dies. When this happens, he leaves the land of the living and becomes the eternal god of death. Because he had no offspring, he cannot leave. His sister still loved him, but could no longer see him. In her sorrow, Yami became the goddess of the night, Yamini, and then becomes the dark river Yamuna, which signifies mourning and sadness. This story originated from a time where women had free choice of sexual partners, and thus rejecting women was associated with death.
