| ⚫ | A '''Creation Myth''' is a supernatural mytho-religious story or explanation that describes the beginnings of humanity, the Earth (see [[Genesis Effect]]), life, and the universe (cosmogony), usually as a deliberate act of "creation" by one or more deities. It may also include the creation of one or more deities (theogony), either before or after the cosmogony. |

Common motifs include the fractionation of the things of the world from a [[Primordial Chaos]]; the separation of the mother and father gods; land emerging from an infinite and timeless ocean; everything coming from a [[Cosmic Egg]], or creation ex nihilo (Latin: [[Void Between the Worlds|out of nothing]]). |
