"So as there is light, there is also darkness. The golden goddess was born from the lightning of the great storm that followed Eay's creation. The dark clouds coalesced into Revdellan, lord of the dark. In Narthatheia the saying is "a golden lining in every cloud" He cloaked himself around her and had her…
The child was born in the fire and where her mother was golden, she was of fire, ruddy of face with great streams of black hair like dark smoke. So born was Fresrekka…"

from the Before all time: The creation

When it comes to magic there are two sides to the story. They are diametrically opposed but it is understood that without one, there cannot be the other. You need light to understand the nature of darkness and vice versa. But what is there hidden in that darkness? Know that it can seduce you with promises and then turn and destroy you. But also know that one is not the opposite of the other but a part of it for as light is to darkness as mother is to daughter. There is both love and hate, anger and remorse but they are still bound to one another.

In Narthatheian belief the female is held as the blessed bearer of life. Long did the creator wander before he found what was necessary to bring forth all; the blessed mother. Without the female there is no life. That is the blessed truth of all and from that fountain of creation comes magic. Men can learn it, but it is inherent in women. It is as much a part of them as their hands and fingers.

When describing a mythology my prose gets all flowery. But such is the way of myth.

These are only two examples of how the gods are depicted. There are also statues, some of which are more impressionistic than what we may be accustomed to from our history.

Only took five weeks and it's forgotten. Promotion started out well and then real life took over. At this point it is looking worse and worse that I can get back to this. I have not been able to get any work done on award presentations either.

And you don't even want to know how far down the page views have gone.
