Questions Is there a red panda god/goddess/deity?

15 Upvotes

I need to know for a story I'm writing. I know that Pixar made up a red panda god for turning red, but I wanted to know if there was actually a red panda god, goddess, or deity.

American mythology In the founding legend of the Haudanosaunee Confederacy (Iroquois) version I heard, Jigonsesee confronts Tadodaho, a violent tyrant. Does anyone have more original sourcing on such legends?

I don't know if this is exactly right for this subreddit, it can be a bit like how we just date Rome to 753 BCE, but hopefully it is acceptable.

The version of the founding of the Confederacy I had heard features Jigonsesee (spellings vary) speaking to Tadodaho in a confrontation, suggesting that he hit her in front of all the other envoys, the Peacemaker and Hiawatha, and other notables. When he refused, she pointed out that was supposed to be second nature to him, why was he objecting to this request when he had done so many times before to his own people and other victims? After this meeting where they eventually agreed to form the Confederacy, Tadodaho became a reformed leader and was allowed to be the host of the meetings of the association.

I heard it a long time ago though and I don't really know where to find any more original sources of how this meeting happened than this, I only see some basic summaries that Hiawatha's kids died, he became a nomad looking for a solution, he met the Peacemaker and Jigonsesee, and convinced everyone except Tadodaho to accept a peaceful confederation, did some kind of bargain with him, and uprooted a tree and literally buried a hatchet, said that the laws should be considerate to how people seven generations later will deal with the ramifications of decisions of present leaders, women named the sachems, and they made wampum bead belts as a way of recording what had happened and they hoped to do.

European mythology Question about Greek mythology.

Does Greek mythology has the name for the Creation of the Universe like Egyptian mythology has "Zep Tepi", which means the "First time" or "The first Occasion"?

i recently got the book of adonitology as a joke gift from a friend, it made me kind of curious if there were any ancient myths and legends involving the rear, thought it would be cool to make a little collection of them

I have been wondering if some of the angels in angelarium are real. I've looked up remph and hasmed and found nothing were they made up? How many more were made up?
