The Tashikki shiqua is religiously-motivated -- it is worn to protect the wearer from the eyes of '''Nun Raylisi''', an evil entity that represents [[Odium]] in their religion.{{wob ref|12755}}{{book ref|sa2.5|3}}
 
Opposing Nun Raylisi is the god '''Tashi''' (the local name for [[Ishar]]),{{book ref|sa4|101}}, also known as God of Gods and Binder of the World.{{book ref|sa2.5|13}} He is assisted by the Nine, a group of entities who "bound the world" together with him{{book ref|sa2.5|8}} (presumably the other [[Herald]]s). It is believed that Tashi protects the Tashikki in their home nation, and so they usually forego the face covering there, but keep it on when abroad.{{book ref|sa2.5|3}}
 
In [[Yeddaw]], the last of the ten types of pancakes made during the [[Weeping]] is dedicated to him, though unlike the others, it is metaphorical, thought about rather than physically made.{{book ref|sa2.5|20}} The name Tashikk likely derives from Tashi.
