The Meaning Of Deity

The English word "deity" derives from the Latin word "deus," ("God"). Related are words for "sky": the Latin word "dies" ("day") and "divum" ("open sky"), and the Sanskrit "div," "diu" ("sky," "day," "shine"). Also related are "divine" and "divinity," from the Latin "divinus," from "divus." The English word "God" comes from the Anglo-Saxon, and similar words are found in many Germanic languages (e.g. the German "Gott" — "God").

A solar deity (also heliolatry or sun worship), is a god or goddess who represents the sun, or an aspect of it. People have worshipped these for all of recorded history. Hence, many beliefs have formed around this worship, such as the "missing sun" found in many cultures. Sun worship is a possible origin of henotheism and ultimately monotheism.

A solar deity is a god or goddess who represents the sun.
All of nature existing as one.
The word deity is derived from the latin word deus,
and a related word is divum meaning open sky.
Where all the energy of the atoms fly.
The Sanskrit terms div and diu means shine, sky and day.
All the life on Earth soaking up the sun's rays.
We live feeling grief and strife.
Forgetting to appreciate the burning ball of gas that gives us life.
