rmcdra Well in the gnostic mythos after Sophia gave birth to the Darkness/Shadow/Matter all forms of divinity came out from it. On the Origin of the World Now the eternal realm (aeon) of truth has no shadow outside it, for the limitless light is everywhere within it. But its exterior is shadow, which has been called by the name 'darkness'. From it, there appeared a force, presiding over the darkness. And the forces that came into being subsequent to them called the shadow 'the limitless chaos'. From it, every kind of divinity sprouted up [...] together with the entire place, so that also, shadow is posterior to the first product. It was the abyss that it (shadow) appeared, deriving from the aforementioned Pistis.
This is interesting because in the Kemetic mythology, chaos can be equated with the darkness at the edge of the created. There are also more than one type of divine being (apart from what we understand as gods) which is comparable to kami. But then I wonder, can chaos itself not just be a state of being but a multiplicity of sentient beings in itself, just like Ma'at is a divine being as well as a divine principle? Hmm...
Brass Bell Doll, which Japanese beings are you thinking of?
Thank you all for the responses but I think this was closer to what I had in mind. It also brings to mind the idea of areas in which there are doorways between this reality and other spiritual planes. I can't be too sure about how this would align with the cosmology I adhere to.
