- Our Gods have never left us!
They are the forest. They are the clouds, and the air, and the water.
They are in the songs we sing, and the tales we tell. They are in our blood and our bones.
The Gods of Brazil are deities worshiped in the past and present mainly by native populations of Brazil and other parts of South America. They are the pantheon worshipped by the Amazons of the Amazon and have as their champion Yara Flor, the Wonder Girl and future Wonder Woman.
History
A long time ago and on opposite sides of the globe, the thunder gods Zeus and Tupã each sat on their respective thrones. Domains and duties were claimed by spouses, siblings, and children. The Earth was populated not only by the Gods but by all manner of creature: demigods, sprites, nymphs, monsters, dragons, demons and spirits. And they saw fit to meddle in the lives of humankind.
Some befriended them, some coupled with them, and a few, giving in to their evil natures, punished and tortured them. As time went on the intensity of the interactions diminished — humans became occupied with their strifes and toils, sex, childbirth, and death. They no longer held to worship and superstition and they lost their relationship with the land. Even still, they remained, immortal and active.
An interference was needed. Someone to navigate the world between Gods and humanity, so that each might flourish. A hero was needed. Yara Flor, the Wonder Woman, just happened to be the right person.[1] And thanks to her, humanity began to believe in the Gods of Brazil again.[2]
