Hmm...Episode submitted by nothingsp on Thu Dec 15 18:58:05 2011 Return to Parent Episode Well, this is an interesting question, since it basically brings up the whole topic of how things are, cosmologically. Thus far we've kind of splashed around in the shallows of that side of things - we've seen one deity (and one apparent nascent deity) in-story, and heard about one other by proxy, but not a whole lot has really been established, aside from the fact that gods, in some sense, do exist. What I would point out, though, is that the one goddess who's shown up in-episode (the Woman whom Lilly met in her dream) didn't seem to be as much an actor as an embodiment - that is, she doesn't really do divine works so much as just influence the way of things by existing. She seems to be as much or more of a fundamental force as a person. That may or may not be true for other deities, I don't know. Certainly Artemis seems to relate to "mama Selene" on something of a more personal level, though who knows if that's because Selene is more personal, or because Artemis is simply closer in nature to her. And there's also the possibility that those changed into mythic-godlike forms by the sun may be no more "real" deities than Lucas is a "real" angel (which she's been quite emphatic about.) But that of course raises the question of exactly what the criteria for that would be. I'm not really coming at this from any one favored position, but I do think it's worthy of some consideration and discussion, because if this is laid down in writing, then it's laid down, and that could have a significant impact on the nature of the world the whole story takes place in. Thoughts? Oh Mulling it | |
