Agemem

Tinguian · deity · primordial · deity

Agemem is the wife of Kadaklan, the great sky-spirit of the Tinguian, as recorded by Fay-Cooper Cole. She is consistently named as his consort; in the Lagangilang and Abang thunderbolt traditions Kadaklan 'eats the ground and releases his wife Agemem,' linking her to the earth/ground from which she is freed when the thunderbolt strikes. Cole gives little independent narrative for her beyond her marriage to Kadaklan.
