In the beginning it is said, the earth was a void; and then the god Ogda came along. Some say he was the creator: that there was no earth before Him though he always was. Others say that he came from another world, found the earth and began to fill it up with good things. But all agree that Ogda made the jewels and precious stones within the confines of the earth, the plants and animals upon the earth, the winds of the seasons and the clouds that hang above, as well as the waters and the treasures they hide.
