User:Immanuelle/17 spirits of the world

< User:Immanuelle

The "17 spirits of the world" (十七世神) is a a group of deities in Japanese mythology. Contrary to the name the group does not contain 17 members.

Overview change

These deities, which belong to the genealogy of Ōkuninushi, appear exclusively in the Kojiki, though their meanings and accomplishments are unclear. The term "Seventeen Generations" refers to the number of generations, but only sixteen deities are counted. It's unknown why it's described as seventeen generations. Including Ōtataneko [ja; fr], who is said to be the tenth-generation descendant of Ōkuninushi in either Izanagi or the Amakusa Daijingu Motoki [ja], results in a total of seventeen.

However the ancestry of Ōtataneko [ja; fr] is established in the first two generations as being Ōkuninushi[1][2]: 277 [3]: 278  (Ōnamuchi)[4] then Kotoshironushi[5][6] and then Kamo no Okimi[5][7]

In other sources, such as the Izumo no Kuni Fudoki [ja], Yatsukamizuomitsuno no Mikoto [ja] appears, while the genealogy from Susanoo to Ōkuninushi is found in the "Amakusa Daijingu Motoki," but deities following Torinarumi Kami [ja; simple] can't be confirmed in any of these materials.

Verification change

It is suggested that the genealogies of Susanoo and Ōkuninushi in the Kojiki were originally one continuous account. The overall structure of the three genealogies, including that of Ōtoshi no Kami, is problematic due to discrepancies and the inconsistency between the genealogies and their stories.

Many of the deities in these genealogies are not found in other sources, and their achievements are not mentioned even in the Kojiki, making their significance and relationships difficult to discern. Theories include the genealogy contrasting Ōkuninushi with the Emperor lineage, Izumo mythology transitioning from land to water deities, or reflecting people's desire for abundant natural environments to emerge blessed by deities.[8]。

Another theory points out that the "Seventeen Generations Deities" signify the descendants of Ōkuninushi, who repeated generational changes, drawing closer to humans rather than gods.[9]。 Here's the translation, including the modified links:
