When reading of many cultural stories of creation, most stories begin with just the primeval elements which are personified and deified in the mythological telling.
For instants the Egyptian "Ogdoad" tells of "4 primeval with specific qualities and elementary deities of both gender" i.e. they are complementary forces of creation.In Ogdoad it is said:
“The eight deities were arranged in four female-male pairs: Naunet and Nu, Amaunet and Amun, Kauket and Kuk, Hauhet and Huh. The females were associated with snakes and the males were associated with frogs. Apart from their gender, there was little to distinguish the female goddess from the male god in a pair; indeed, the names of the females are merely the female forms of the male name and vice versa. Essentially, each pair represents the female and male aspect of one of four concepts, namely the primordial waters (Naunet and Nu), air or invisibility (Amunet and Amun), darkness (Kauket and Kuk), and eternity or infinite space (Hauhet and Huh).
Together the four concepts represent the primal, fundamental state of the beginning, they are what always was. In the myth, however, their interaction ultimately proved to be unbalanced, resulting in the arising of a new entity. When the entity opened, it revealed Ra, the fiery sun, inside. After a long interval of rest, Ra, together with the other deities, created all other things”.
AD: Here we see how the primeval elements interacts and creates a result as they themselves undergoes a transformation, in this case Ra, the fiery light from where everything else is created in the then known Universe, which must be the Milky Way and the Solar System of course.
We also know that the Egyptian goddess Hathor is connected to the Milky Way and therefore the major Norse deities also must be connected to this celestial object. It is therefore my opinion that Bure and Bor were/are primeval elementary deities who were transformed in the process of creating the Milky Way and here it also is my opinion that the northern hemisphere Milky Way contours, which very much looks like a great man/god, is connected to the Norse Odin.
On the southern hemisphere, the Milky Way contours very much looks like a great woman, and in the Norse mythological terms “she” must be Frigga, the wife of Odin. So here we have 2 major goddesses representing the very same cosmological mytheme.
