Dibella-Yffre
I revised a theory of mine recently. Note that this theory will assume that mirror theory (the theory that most of the aedra are cultural analogues of greater beings from the Dawn Era) as fact.
While Dibella isn't seemingly considered a nature goddess, she is associated with it. The Nordic mural of her seen in Skyrim's burrows has moths (her totem) and branches, and Dibella is well-known for her symbol being the lily. The Worldly Spirits of Amun-Dro says that Y'ffer created the first flower (which convinced Nirni to be his mate). And then Dibella's Mysteries and Revelations has this to say:
"If the Aedra sacrificed themselves, each to add something to the making of the world, what did Our Lady contribute to the world?" "In reply, I scooped a double handful of fallen blossoms from the sward and rained them over his astonished brow." "No matter the seed, if the shoot is nurtured with love, will not the flower be beautiful?"
Y'ffre is also a god of art, music, and dance. To the point that, some of the masks wore by the House of Revelries are dedicated to Y'ffre.
"This otherworldly mask evokes the moment when the Breath of Y'ffre gave the entities of creation their names and shapes, and order merged with chaos to birth the Green." "This is the mask chosen when an actor of the House of Reveries must represent growth, nature, or an aspect of Y'ffre. Ready to perform your interpretive dance of springtime? Here's the mask you need."
Dibella is also considered a god of art.
An artifact of Dibella is the Brush of Truepaint. The Brush of Truepaint allows one to enter a painting canvas and paint life-sized things within it, whatever they imagine basically. And Tales of Bosmeri Spinners has this to say:
"If Y'ffre created this world by telling a story, Bosmeri spinners weave new worlds out of their stories, sometimes crafting an illusion so complete that it seems real to the listeners, who are woven into the stories as characters. Inside these magical stories, spinners can influence their listeners in profound ways, stirring them to empathize with strangers, hate enemies, or have compassion for the suffering."
Y'ffre is said to see everything (at first anyways). Compare that to how Dibella described in the Atmoran Cult Writings.
"Y'ffre taught the birds to sing and the waves to lap against the beach. Through Y'ffre's song, he also gained sight-perception of all that occurs within the sight of birds and the reflection of waters, and he echoes their songs and crashing waves." "Wrapped in soft night, she sings to us. One flap of her great wings dusts the landscape in silver-powdered sleep. She bids us live well by day, but savor the shadows. For what would light be if there were no darkness to compare it to? Mother Moth sees all. Her many-faceted eyes hold all of Atmora within them, thus is she able to see the faithful and the unfaithful. Only we few know her secrets, have heard her song, and pay her homage."
Dibella is associated with singing and sight like Y'ffre, but also light and darkness.
"Day, night, and the places between are the realm of the sky, as Y'ffre interpreted the time-law Anui-el established within Nirn."
Dibella has associations with more than just romantic relationships.
"Treasure the gifts of friendship." "The Bones of Y'ffre surround us, giving us food, shelter, warmth, and companionship."
The Crusader's Helm was created by Dibella lets the wearer cast a calm spell, enhances bartering ability and increases skills in the magical school of illusion. A Tale Forever Told has the Silvenar calm the Green Lady. Why is this is important? Well, we go back to Amun-Dro.
His story has Y'ffer, Nirni, and Hircine being in a love triangle, with Y'ffer winning over Hircine (because of that flower). This parallels the story of the Silvenar, the Green Lady, and the Hound. Notably, the Silvenar can be any gender (like how Y'ffre is sometimes male and sometimes female) in contrast to the Green Lady's female and the Hound's male. A Tale Forever Told also has some interesting words used.
"With his touch, she saw the dance of frond and leaf, and learned the ways and wiles of Valenwood. His emptiness filled with her passion, and his nameless longing waned."
Y'ffre is primarily known for their association with shape. In multiple myths they give the Ehlnofey solid forms with their sacrifice.
"Water is yours to command with this eldritch chalice. It is especially useful when used to honor Anu, who shaped the cosmos in the Dawn Era, and Y'ffre, the Earth Bones. Scarcely should we credit those who claim we were better off in the time of trading body for root, or root for limb. I, for one, am grateful to wake each day as the same, in both thought and form, as the day preceding."
The Nine Coruscations says that when Magnus was making Londa-Vera, he drew upon Dibella's body as inspiration among others.
Y'ffre is said to become corrupted by Namira in Amun-dro and The Nine Coruscations. You can compare that to Y'ffre's dual nature as the All-Growth and All-Wither to the Druids of Galen. Meanwhile, Magne-Ge pantheon has Daubella's connection to Nana Null (a very Namiran figure).
"Some say that Daubella is the most important constellation of all, at least for now; that her issue includes Grey Could, Mud That Might, and the Non-Nymic That Helps. Others declare that the Magne-Ge lay under a spell of Daubella’s own invention, with her true role being merely another avatar of Nana Null."
The entire thing about Daubella in the Magne-Ge Pantheon is also another connection. Her entire conclusion brings to mind her title of "Queen of Heaven." Atmoran Cult Writings also has a astral hint.
"Her mysteries unveil themselves to us in the flickering of flames, the twinkling of stars, the light in the dark." "I speak, and through me sings Y'ffre. My tales are echoes and echoes of songs He once sang, of threads woven by his throat into tapestries ingrained in the minds of we faithful. The calls of birds, twinkles of stars, and lap of the sea live within me." "Aetherius is the sea of light, the Immortal Plane, the origin of magic. Y'ffre sings not of Aetherius, but to it, weaving a song so beautiful that stars were compelled to dance and sway. They still wink and blink in memory of that song."
