Shrine of Dzivaguru

Two glowing, golden sunbirds seem to hover in the air above the table in this shrine. The cloths covering the table are stitched with an illustration of a cornucopia spilling forth magickal substances. On the wall behind the table hangs a complete goatskin.

Written in the Book are these words:

Dzivaguru: Great Mother. Ruler of the Heavens and the Earth.

Dzivaguru is the Mother of All. She is the Matriarch. Dzivaguru rules the Heavens and the Earth as Her own Home. Dzivaguru maintains Order. She cares and provides for all creatures, even the Forgotten Ones. She controls all the Magick substances, and dispenses them freely. Dzivaguru is attended by two golden Sunbirds which have the magick of the sun within them. With the Sunbirds, Dzivaguru can dispell the darkness -- both literal and figurative. She lives in a great palace by a sacred lake.

Dzivaguru is an ancient Mother Goddess. She is depicted wearing goatskins and bearing a cornucopia of magickal substances. She is represented by Her sacred creatures, the two Sunbirds. A cornucopia spilling forth magickal essences is also sometimes used to represent Her, as is the image of a palace on a lakeshore. Her music is that of the axastse (rattle), gonje (bowed lute) and wiik (horn). Her gem is the diamond. Dzivaguru is heard in the Rumbling of the Earth, the Roaring of the Surf, the Howling of the Wind and the Hissing of the Fire. She is seen in Visions.
