"Hang on a minute! Isn’t the sun supposed to be a masculine deity?! Apparently not. It’s only with the rise of monotheism and patriarchy that the sun, being regarded as the ‘most-powerful’, became a he-God. Language and mythology reveal a different story... The very word ‘sun’ comes from the name of the Scandinavian Sun Goddess Sunna or Sunnu. In Old English (when English had grammatical gender), ‘sun’ was feminine and ‘moon’ masculine, as it still is today in German (it's referred to affectionately as ‘Frau Sonne’ – ‘Mrs. Sun’)."
