Settut, also known as Immas n Tadwit, the World's First Mother, was ambivalent in her youth; however, as she grew older, she developed malfeasance, corruption, and wickedness. Settut, like those resentful old women known as "hags", and "harpies," is the greatest, oldest, and most powerful of them all. Settut was first described in North African oral tradition as a magnificent woman of immense strength; she was also thought to be the first person to ever set foot on Earth, and emerge from the Underworld. When she was younger, she was beautiful, wiser, and more well-versed in all aspects of life; according to Amazigh mythology, we owe her the creation of the first clouds, stars, Sun, and Moon. According to legend, Settut created the sun by tossing the primordial ram's eyelid into a sacred fire she had lit inside her mystical recipient. After a brief moment, a massive explosion occurred, and the Sun emerged from the blaze in all its glory. It extended continuously and grandly until it reached the skies to illuminate the darkness from a higher vantage point. The moon was created in a similar manner. Settut cut the injured eyelid of the primordial bull and dropped it into her water mirror. As soon as the eyelid made contact with the water, it burst into a spectacular explosion of mist, and from the eerie fog, a sphere of intense and unadulterated brilliance began to develop as it ascended in the sky with its relieving shine, and thus the Moon was created. She created clouds from the foam of her reflecting pool, earthquakes from its agitation, and tidal waves from its overflow. She also made the stars out of the sparkling debris of the bones of young children and women she sacrificed in vain to gain fertility. As she grew older and succumbed to jealousy, hatred, and bitterness, her despair and spite for this world grew to the point where she became one of humanity's greatest threats, causing numerous long lasting disasters and cataclysms that claimed thousands of lives each year. Bad omens, such as eclipses, have recurred every five years, and have been assimilated to witchcraft and sacrificial festivities. The Amazigh people believed that there are witches who have the magical ability to drop the sun or moon into a bowl of water, and that every time this happens, a child must be sacrificed for Settut, or the sun will never shine again. After saying her name, storytellers frequently condemn the persona, who is typically associated with the lord of the underworld.
