Seoritsu-hime is oft-associated with the star Sirius, as well. (and wouldn't you know, SIML Sirius is my pfp right now!)
it makes me kinda sad how none of this is being translated across the pond. idk, I guess I'm one of the very first people on the English surface web to talk about her rn !
there's SOOOO much more I could get into here, but I will refrain from dumping too much:
she is a HUGE hit on those new age-y gossipy astrology girlie sites - you know what I'm talking about. the Instagram tag for her name is filled with some fascinating stuff & awesome art.
oh yeah. my Homegirl has an entire statue over in Hayachine Dam, which I've seen almost NOBODY talk about on the English web. (again, HOW ARE PEOPLE MISSING THIS?! /lh)

I'm gonna drop a few articles jic someone out there is curious & can read Japanese better than I can rn. this is an ENTIRE treasure trove of fascinating lore I've never seen anyone talk about, and I'm shocked bc she might be THE inspiration for one of the biggest anime movies ever ⁉️⁉️⁉️
ALSO not helping matters: she has been conflated & syncretized with SO many other deities, WHICH makes it even more impossible to find good information. just a small selection I've found:
- Benzaiten
- Ichikishima-hime
- Yasomagatsuhi
- Hashi-hime
(this is not at all exhaustive. not even close.)
and yet, no mention of the link btwn Mizuhanome + Seoritsuhime.
it's... kinda funny tho. she's often referred to as a "sealed Goddess" in Japanese, as the legends around her are quite sparse. there's an ENTIRE can of worms behind that; there's claims she was wiped from the Kojiki & Nihon Shoki.
interesting tidbit I've found: she's believed to be the inspiration for Your Name (2016). Mitsuha's name was inspired by water goddess Mizuhanome, which may be another name of Seoritsu-hime. INSANE that this is nowhere on the EN web except for a brief mention in Mizuhanome's wiki article -
& it is incredibly frustrating because whenever I look at the Japanese side of the web, there is an ENTIRE rabbit hole of things about Seoritsu-hime going on. like, girlie's having a MAJOR resurgence in the public consciousness? but NOBODY on the EN web is saying anything
as mentioned not too long ago under my Maristella art, I've felt a particular connection to Seoritsu-hime and have been trying to research more about her
problem is... there is almost NOOOOTHING on the English web about her (except for a few scattered art pieces + manga appearances???)
hello blue skies I'm back to post some crazy shit (not really) - 🌤️
I think if y'all have seen some of my art this past year... or even share a discord server w/ me... I've been yapping A LOT about Shinto and all the stuff it fascinates me with
