The God Anzar and the Goddess Tiziri! (Not to be confused with the other adorable Tiziri who is named after her). So there is this legend in amazigh mythology called “Tislit n Anzar” which means Anzar’s betrothed or Anzar’s fiancée. The ritual is still practiced in regions of Algeria and Morocco.

This is my personal interpretation. 🌊Anzar is the god of water (equivalent of Poseidon if you will, though some scholars even say Poseidon was actually based on Anzar.) His forehead tattoo is a ship, which represents water, strength and wisdom. ✨
🌙 Tiziri, the goddess of Moonlight, and the daughter of Ayur, god of the Moon. Her tattoos are moon and stars and they are signs associated with fertility, change and renewal.

I don’t think I’ll include them in my current story, but I do want to explore pre-Islamic Amazigh gods, goddesses and religion in some ways...For now here are their sketchy designs :) it’s a love story hihi.
