Tamhana (Tam-Han-Nah)

In the beginning, when the world was young and the seas were untamed, the gods saw the need for a guardian of the heavens. From the heart of the first star, Tamahana was born, her radiant presence lighting up the night sky. She watched over the sailors, her eyes reflecting the infinite expanse of the cosmos.
Tamahana's celestial guidance was paramount for those who dared to journey across the vast oceans. Sailors would look up to her stars, charting their courses by the constellations she meticulously arranged. Her presence was a beacon of hope and a promise of safe passage.
One fateful night, a young sailor named Kael found himself lost in a violent storm. The stars were obscured by dark clouds, and his ship was at the mercy of the furious sea. Desperate, Kael prayed to Tamahana, "O Keeper of the Secrets of the Stars, guide me through this tempest, and I shall devote my life to your service."
Moved by his plea, Tamahana parted the clouds, revealing the brightest star in the sky. She whispered to Kael the secrets of celestial navigation, guiding him safely to shore. True to his word, Kael established a sanctuary dedicated to Tamahana, where sailors could learn to read the stars and seek her blessings.

Prayer:

"O Tamahana, Keeper of the Secrets of the Stars, Guide our sails with your celestial light. May we navigate through the darkest nights, With your wisdom leading us to safe harbors."
