Legend of Kuekuatsheu

Do you know why the moon is so lonely? 

Because she had a lover once. His name was Kuekuatsheu. All the spirits lived in the world together. Every night, they would walk in the sky together panning over the great north; the northern lights.

But one spirit, the trickster, was jealous of the love that the moon and Kuekuatsheu held for one another. He wanted the moon only for himself. So he told Kuekuatsheu, that the Moon had asked for flowers. He told him to come to our world and pick some wild roses to illustrate his love. Kuekuatsheu saw this as a wonderful oppourtunity but there was one thing he did not know; once one leaves the spirit world, he can never return back.

This is why every night, he looks at the sky and sees the moon, he howl's her name but they can never touch again.




To this day the beasts of the earth still cry to the moon; baying out their sorrows to their love of whom is now intangible forever.
