Other Names

The All-Mother

The Goddess Silat, is rumoured to exist on the earthly plane in a Siladun, a timeless fortress surrounded by the vast salt flats in the Northern Waejiran Desert. She is the all mother, birther of the world, the embodiment of chaos and creation. She is said to be both forever formless and capable of taking any form. From her all life was born, first as the principle elements, and later her incestuous coupling with her own children produced the lesser gods, and so on. She is the great creator spirit whom existed before all else. All things are born of her flesh, and return to her flesh after death. No one who has braved to cross the seemingly endless salt in an attempt to discover her home has ever returned. Some say the great faceted dome of indestructible glass which caps the central chamber of the her temple in Waejiradur was brought forth from her fabled home at the conclusion of the God Wars millennia ago.

She is often depicted as an obese naked woman with three faces on her head, four pairs of arms, and four legs. The faces are a young maiden's indicative of the fecundity of youth, a mother's indicative of the nurturing role, and crone indicative of the return to Silat after a life well lived. Her four legs represent the four cardinal directions in which her various children have spread across the world. Four pairs of arms similarly to welcome back those who return into her divine embrace
