Seketo'a
November 17, 2019
My god is Seketo’a
And he is a slippery, fishy thing
His eyes are lightest gray,
and surrounded by a dark ring
He’s been to Liérganes, Shumagin, and Chile
They also call him Oannes, Pontus, or Lu Ting
I call him Seketo’a, and it’s in his name I pray
It is in his name I write black books and in his name I sing
I learned the songs from my father and I shall teach them to my son
We’ll write and we’ll sing ‘til Seketo’a comes back, to make all peoples one

I was inspired to do this by some research I was doing into the fish gods of antiquity. I hope this will not only entertain and spook, but also inspire others to look into the gods of fish.
