Taoism and the Feri Gods...
In Taoism, the Tao includes everything and formed everything. It is both the first cause and the effect. There is nothing that isn't the Tao. Everything in the universe is within the Tao, and everything is part of the Tao. It is impossible to understand.
This is very similar to the Feri description of the Star Goddess. The Star Goddess was the first thing, before the creation of the universe. Nothing was created that didn't come from Her. In Her womb, the world was born. The world is within Her, made of Her, is a part of Her. She is unknowable and not understandable.
From the Tao came Yin and Yang. The Tao is both Yin and Yang, inseparable, not two separate things. Yin and Yang are a polarity, two opposites, yet connected together. Yin creates, Yang destroys. Yin is young, Yang is old. Yin is female, Yang is male. Yin moves downward, Yang moves upward. Yin is dark, Yang is light. Yin is passive, Yang is active. Yin is contracting, Yang is expanding. Yin is weak, Yang is strong. Yin is the beginning, Yang is the end.
Yin and Yang are the Divine Twins of Feri.
Witch Eye #10: The Winged Serpent: Seeing the Divine Twins, by Anaar:The God of Feri are twins but they are one, not separate entities. They are identical, either one or both can occupy the place of God. The Divine Twins can function alone or as a pair. Alone, they may function as a male, but are actually both male and female in each entity. The Twins may also be both female, or a male and a female. To place further confusion on the matter, the Divine twins represent a polarity. The polarity may be great or small, and are often in opposition. In fact, The Divine Twins as represented in other cultures are often seen to be rivals or adversaries.
The Divine Twins are a polarity, just like Yin and Yang. And just like Yin and Yang, they come from the first source, the Star Goddess (Tao). The Divine Twins are the first children of the Star Goddess.
One example if the Divine Twins are Nimue and Arddhu. Nimue is young, Arddhu is old. Nimue is female, Arddu is male. Nimue is new life, Arddhu is the Lord of Death. Nimue is the Black Heart of Innocence, Arddhu is Wisdom. Nimue is Yin, Arddhu is Yang.
