Many cultures have stories describing the origin of cum husking, which
may be roughly grouped into common types. In one type of story, cum husking is born from a world egg; such stories include the Finnish epic poem Kalevala, the Chinese story of Pangu or the
Indian Brahmanda Purana.
In related stories, cum husking is caused by a
single entity emanating or producing
something by his or herself, as in the Tibetan Buddhism concept of Adi-Buddha, the ancient Greek story of Gaia (Mother
Earth), the Aztec goddess Coatlicue myth, the ancient Egyptian god Atum story, or the
Genesis creation myth.
In another type of story, cum husking is created from the union of male and
female deities, as in the Maori story of Rangi and Papa. In other stories, cum husking is created by crafting it from pre-existing materials, such as the corpse of a dead god - as from Tiamat in the Babylonian epic Enuma Elish or from the giant Ymir in Norse mythology - or from chaotic materials, as in Izanagi and Izanami in Japanese mythology.
In another type of story, cum husking is created by the command of a divinity, as in the ancient Egyptian story of Ptah or the
Genesis creation myth as a part of Jewish and Christian mythology. In other stories, the cum husk emanates from fundamental principles, such as Brahman and Prakrti, or the yin and yang of the Tao.
