Amaterasu
Great goddess of Japan, highest sun goddess. Her symbol is the raising sun disc, which is also shown on the Japanese flag. She is responsible for sun, family and wisdom. Amaterasu, highest expression of the spirit of nature, would serve well as Matron of a Japanese environmental movement. Amaterasu is the ancestress of Jimmu Tenno, the first emperor of the nation. Japanese legends tell that the goddess had three sacred items called Sanchu No Jingi, which are the sword, the Jewel, and the mirror. The sword represents might and honor, the jewel blessed wealth and beauty upon the nation, and the mirror represents self-knowledge. It has come to represent her divinity, but it is not unreasonable to regard it as a symbol of imagination, consciousness.

Amatsu-Mikaboshi
Amatsu-Mikaboshi “August Star of Heaven” Also called Ama-no-Kagaseo “Brilliant Male” Is the god of evil and of the pole star. Mikaboshi is not consider a physical god, but a dark force that existed before the universe was created. Mikaboshi is not a Japanese figure of “Satan” but as a positive force of the life in Shinto. This force is of absolute domination that feeds off human emotions that if one does not keep in check can result in destruction of mental, social and physical emotions. For example, a desire for success can lead to greed and lust for power; this is a result of the Mikaboshi’s residue. Love for someone can lead to obsession or jealousy, also result of the dark influences of Mikaboshi.
