Masai mythology
From The Book of THoTH (Leaves of Wisdom)
The Masai people are an ethnic group of Kenya.
The supreme being and creator is Enkai (also called Engai) guardian over rain, fertility, the sun and love who gave cattle to the Masai people. Some sources Neiterkob "that which began the earth" may also be a reference to Enkai. Neiterkob is a minor deity, known as the mediator between God and man.
Olapa, Godess of the moon, is wed to Enkai
