Once upon a time, there was no time and that was when there also was no gods and no man walked the surface of the land.

The bark was transformedby the sea and became the giants of the deep.Cernunnos was lonely and he saw the giants of the deep who were numerous, so he coupled with Eiocha and of their union came the gods, Maponos, Tauranis, and Teutates, and thegoddess, Epona. Eiocha soon tired of the land, being a creature of sea-foam, and she returned the sea, where she was transformed into Tethra, goddess of the deep water, sometimes called Tethys.
The gods and goddess were lonely for they had none to com-mand nor none to worship them. The gods and goddess took wood from the one oak tree and fashioned the first man and the first woman.
