with a mortal maiden resulted in the birth of a daughter goddess, Sela Sata. Sata or Sela Sata - either wife or daughter of Seela, according to different versions; a goddess of artisanship and especially female crafts, corresponding to Northwest Caucasian Satanaya. Her face is described as shining like the sun with beauty. She helps Pkharmat steal Sela's fire for the Earth's inhabitants by guiding him to the peak of Mount Kazbek. Maetsill - God of agriculture and the harvest and protector of the weak. Ishtar-Deela - Lord of life and death and ruler of the underworld ("Deeli-Malkhi"), responsible for punishing the wicked. Molyz-Yerdi - The war god who brought the Vainakh victory. Elta - God of the hunt and animals and - before Maetsill took over his role - the harvest. He was blinded in one eye for disobedience by his father, Deela. Amgali(-Yerdi) - A minor deity. Taamash(-Yerdi) - ("lord of wonder") Lord of fate. Usually tiny in size but becomes gigantic when angered. Tusholi - Goddess of fertility, A greater protector of the people even than her father, Deela. She is believed to dwell in the sacred Lake Galain-Am. According to scholars, in earlier beliefs Tusholi was the dominant deity. People petitioned her for healthy offspring, rich harvests and thriving herds of cattle. In later times Tusholi was mainly the object of worship of childless women. She had a holy day, Tusholi's Day, on which women would bring offerings of the horns of red deer, bullets and candles to her sanctuary on Mount Deela T'e (which non-priests could enter only with the explicit permission of the priesthood and within which it was forbidden to fell her trees). Nowadays her day is considered "Children and Women's day." The hoopoe, known as "Tusholi's hen" was considered "her" bird and could not be hunted except with permission from the high priest and for strictly medicinal purposes. Dartsa-Naana ("Blizzard mother") - Goddess of blizzards and avalanches. She dwells on the snowy summit of Mount Kazbek around which she has traced a magic circle, which no mortal of any sense dare cross. Should any be foolhardy enough to do so, Dartsa-Naana will cast them into the abyss and bring tumbling down upon them the death-dealing snows of her mountain home.. Mokh-Naana - Goddess of the winds. Seelasat - ("Oriole") Protectress of virgins (possibly identical to Sata / Sela Sata, see above). Meler
