>>21084122>in Shinto, the Sun deity is female, while the Moon deity is male.That's neat. In the Germanic world, it is the same. The sun is Sunna and the moon is Mani (root word for 'man'), although Baldr is obviously closely linked with the sun as well, much like there's both Sol and Apollo in the Med.
I don't know the climate of Japan, but if it is more similar to Northern than Southern Europe, it could be because the sun is weaker and less harsh, perhaps? In the Med, there's no doubt that Apollo's arrows bring curses as well as blessings, especially if you aren't swarthy.
