Sawaku
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
in Caribbean mythology, is the man who first caused fire and lightnings. He was very powerful; but, in order to prevent pursuit, he transformed himself first into a bird, and then into a star. The lightnings are still occasioned by his blowing the celestial fire through a reed, so that it darts about to great distances.
