“Her domain covers fertility of land and of people, the yield of the harvest, and the dead, who are described as returning into her — so that she holds both ends of a life, the bearing and the receiving back. Her most distinctive role is moral.”

Selu · salience 0.8

“Selu is corn itself given a household role, a working provider rather than an abstract fertility figure, and the myth is built around watching her actually work — she keeps the family fed from a storehouse the boys do not understand, in the same way Kanati keeps them fed from game he does not have to hunt. The turning episode has the boys spying on Selu through a gap in the storehouse wall and seeing her stand over a basket, rub or scratch her own body, and produce the corn and beans that feed the household — a sight they read as witchcraft rather than provision.”
