Shimye-Magalla
Shimye-Magalla is an aspect of open-sky worship by the Bonuwat tribe of western Garund. The Bonuwat worship Desna and Gozreh together by this name as inseparable equals, much as they consider the sky and the wind to be inseparable.123
Ancient temples in the Mwangi Jungle feature depictions of Shimye-Magalla, which suggest the Bonuwat were once more widespread than they are now. Published theories of the Taldan explorer Gerhard Pendergrast inaccurately suggest that Shimye-Magalla was a merging of both deities rather than a tradition of worshipping both equally.4
It is not known if Shimye-Magalla can grant divine magic to worshippers such as clerics, but Desna and Gozreh are also members of the Endless Road, a known pantheon that encourages travelers to see the world and find one's place in it without disrupting the gentle balance of nature.5

- ↑ Several Pathfinder Campaign Setting and Pathfinder Chronicles works, the Serpent's Skull Pathfinder Adventure Path, and Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild scenarios assert that Shimye-Magalla is a "unique deity" or "janiform incarnation" composed of the Bonuwat's combined worship of Gozreh and Desna. This is a canon error retroactively explained as a misconception by Cult of Cinders 40. See Meta:Shimye-Magalla.
