  • The Demiurges "to form the embryo": The water-eater in the primordial sea, the earth-eater on the primordial sea; the fire-eater under the primordial sky; the wind-eater in the primordial sky.

Winter Season (Gestation)

  • The Pillars "to develop the embryo": The water-eater shall support the land by swimming, so it does not sink into the chaotic waters; the earth-eater shall support the land by trampling, so it does not dissolve into chaotic earth; the fire-eater shall support the sky by roaring, so it does not petrify into orderly fire; the wind-eater shall support the sky by flying, so it does not ascend into orderly winds.

Spring Season (Birth)

  • The Worlds: The tree's roots grew around the water-eater (forming the swamp); the tree's trunk grew around the earth-eater (forming the forest); the tree's branches grew around the fire-eater (forming the desert), and the tree's leaves grew around the wind-eater (forming the steppe).

Summer Season (Youth)

  • The Passages "to set the axis in path": The churning of the Mother's milk by the water-eater's movements generated the four rivers and the aquatic beings; the grinding of the Mother's breasts by the earth-eater's movements generated the four mountains and the terrestrial beings; the condensation by the fire-eater's movements generated the four lights and the heavenly beings; the flux by the wind-eater's movements generated the four currents and the aerial beings.
