Origin Deities
“We blame and beg these figures, these collections of qualities given personality, given names, and given domain. Bedtime stories with little to no truth. We turn our backs on them or embrace them to the sacrifice of ourselves in hopes of miracles. Then some day when you’re minding your business and horrible things happen followed by blessings and silver linings and we call them miracles and bow our heads once again to the Origin. I don’t believe they are different than us, I think they just have incredible power.”
Origin Deities
Am, The Life Giver, Taker
Where there is a newborn Am may be found among the shadows cast in the lights nearby. A shadow cast by nothing is present. Where there is death, two shadows cast by nothing are present. Am brings the dead into a new life or shepherds old souls to finally rest.
Am depicted in art is a second shadow cast by the recently passed, and when the depiction is of birth, an extra shadow cast by an observer who must be invisible otherwise.
El, The Shield, Sword
Before we draw our swords we must first raise our shields. El is a Lighthouse deity, lending power to those who risk their lives to protect others.
