What happens when the sun disappears?

In this immersive episode of The Lorekeeper’s Library, Kayleigh tells the ancient tale of Amaterasu, the radiant goddess of the sun from Japanese mythology. When her stormy brother, Susanoo, wreaks havoc across the heavens, Amaterasu hides herself away in a sacred cave—plunging the world into darkness.

✨ Who brought her back?
🪞 What role did a sacred mirror and a goddess’s dance play?
👑 And how did this myth shape the very soul of Japan’s imperial history?

Join us as we uncover a story of light, shadow, chaos, and rebirth—one that has echoed through centuries and still burns brightly in the heart of Shinto belief.
