Description

Many Indigenous cultures have their creation story, and Fu’una & Puntan is the Chamorro version.


Part of an oral tradition, Fu’una (Divine Feminine on the left) and Puntan (Divine Masculine on the right) represents the spectrum of the divine that exists in all of us. How it must be nurtured on the individual level to the macro in everyday society. The Divine Feminine has been violently suppressed for centuries if not thousands of years, and this illustration is a reminder of how we all have these elements within us: fire, water, air, and earth. All of this is our life force, and to ignore one side and overextend the other is seen manifested in the grotesque treatment of Mother Earth, and the overdependence on the patriarchal depiction of a solo Father Sky.


In many cultures around the world, the elements played into different perceived gender roles, but modern religions has often buried the voice of Divine Feminine screaming. As we face climate crisis around the world, let us not forget that Mother Earth, Fu’una, is in partnership with the so-called masculine air and fire elements, as her earth and water elements must also be honored.


In this creation story, the spectrum of masculine and feminine is not a dogmatic one, but a spectrum that lives within all of us and shines like a rainbow from the sky onto the earth. It is a lesson that insists everyone is deserving of respect and has a place in this world, as a divine expression of the universe that nurtures us all if we allow it.
