YOMI (DARKNESS), LAND OF, OR BOTTOM COUNTRY
A symbol of the lower quaternary, or underworld.
"Yomi is spoken of as the abode of Susa-no-wo, who, according to one
myth, was appointed to rule this region. We also hear of the deities
of Yomi, the armies of Yomi, the ugly females of Yomi, and the
Road-wardens of Yomi." - W. G. ASTON, Shinto, p. 54.
The lower planes constitute the realm over which the desire-nature
(Susa-no-wo) presides. The "deities and armies" of Yomi are the
desires, the "ugly females" are the lower emotions or passions, and
the "Road-wardens" are aspirations on the upward path, or moral
regulations in the lower mind to "make straight the way of the
Lord."
