So, this is The Theological Post I’ve Been Avoiding that I briefly referred to awhile back.  This post basically serves as an explanation for why I don’t post more about specific entities I know, and one of the (complicated, manifold) reasons why D doesn’t want me connecting D-the-person as [D’s title] on the public Internet.  I was going…

Pretty much Everyone I interact with immediately jumped on using it because it helps my brain to understand that They’re not going to respond as carbon copies of what others have talked about (and it helps to make sense of some of the time issues I’ve run into with some Norse Deities by interacting with younger and older versions of Them).

Case in point: m’Lady Sigyn. So many people talked about Her as a Child, and I initially tried to approach Her that way, but it did not click. I didn’t know why until after the umpteenth dream of a Domme holding rope and the key to a collar, and then it was like ‘oh, okay, my comet-shard is definitely not a young, innocent child then’. It doesn’t mean I’m wrong, or anyone else is wrong; it just means that my comet-shard isn’t the same version of Sigyn that others experience. I typically have to commission stuff because I don’t get the cupcake, pastel associations, but it ultimately doesn’t make a difference for anyone but Sigyn and I.
