Atabey (AH-tah-bey)
Mesoamerican Deity
Atabey
Atabey is the great mother of the Taíno, goddess of fresh water, fertility, and the lunar tide. She gave birth to Yúcahu and twin forces of chaos, embodying the duality of nurture and storm. She is rivers and wombs, moonlight and tidal pull. Women revere her as both protectress of birth and arbiter of justice.
Atabey lives in sacred springs, ceibas, and the hush between waves. She is both healer and threshold. In ritual, women call to her during childbirth and men pour libations at the start of journeys. She does not forgive easily, but her blessings are enduring. To walk with her is to be shaped by softness and command.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Atabey appears as a tall, commanding woman with flowing hair the color of moonlit water. Her eyes are silvery and unblinking. She is veiled in mist and adorned with shells, vines, and woven glyphs of the sea.
Mental characteristics
Sexuality
Her love is tidal—sacred, maternal, and fierce. She loves protectively, but never submissively. Her partners must respect life in all its vulnerability, or be cast away like driftwood in flood.
