View source for Hakamos

An Ithatian myth relates how Hakamos, the son of the King of [[Thykomos]], prayed to the goddess [[Bralla]] for passage to Isxinthios.  The goddess sends a bird to speak with him.  First he must learn the language of the birds.  By means of the bird-messenger, Hakamos undergoes several tests and trials.  He passes them all and is taught how to voyage to the [[sunmoon]], Bralla.  At length, Hakamos voyages to sunmoon and then meets Bralla.  He is taught further esoteric knowledge and then passes to [[Isxinthios]].

The myth of Hakamos is of great significance to mages in the Ithatian and Midretassene traditions.  The image of Hakamos is often used to signify [[Brallatinian]] studies, though Hakamos himself was not considered a magic-practitioner.  Scholars have traced the myth of Hakamos back to the seventh century before [[Salmakhamer]] in Kalaman records.
