Nunbarshegunu Is the Sumerian Goddess of Grain and Harvests. As writing emerged during Sumerian times, the accounts that needed to be kept to track the storage and trade of grains saw her evolve into Nisaba, the Goddess of Scribes and Writing. Another connection was the use of a reed or stem from grain used as a stylus to mark the clay tablets and create the cuneiform symbols. Many writings from this time finish with the phrase “Praise be to Nisaba”

Gula is said to have created the tools used in healing and the scalpel is often depicted with her. The dog is also one of her symbols, as these animals were associated with recuperation.

Dalikamata is the Visayan Diwata of Eye Health. She was worshipped by the indigenous people of the Phillipines to protect and heal any ailments of their eyes. Dalikamata is depicted as having one thousands eyes all over her body. All these eyes give her the power to be able to see the past, present and future. It was believed the morning dew were her tears that were shed during the night after watching the suffering and ill deeds of her people. The Babaylans (ancient priestesses) would collect the dew to make salves and potions. Dalikamata is also connected to owls and eagles, both with powerful sight, and who helped the goddess with her work. When the Spanish invaded the Philipines they forced Christianity upon the population and persecuted the Babaylans. Dalikamata was replaced with Saint Lucia, the patroness of the blind.

Ame-no-Uzume is the Shinto Goddess of the Dawn, Mirth and Revelry. Her energies align with the spontaneity of nature and creativity. When the Sun Goddess Amaterasu suffers such deep grief that she hides herself away in cave, it is Ame-no-Uzume who draws her out. Standing upon a platform she dances with such joy and abandonment that her gown opens and falls away. This delights the other gods and goddesses that are gathered so much that they cry out with laughter and urge her on. The noise is so great that Amaterasu comes out to see what is happening, restoring her light to the world.
