I marvel at the idea that the nature of the gods is somehow mysterious, paradoxical, supernatural or unknowable. the key to it has been passed down through millennia, from the oldest Upanishads to the inscription at Delphi, the Smagardine Tablet, to the more modern charge of the goddess and Victor Anderson's 'sutra'. even Joseph Smith.;-)
perhaps it is due to the dearth of the English language to have any terms for the various nodes within the vastness of the hierarchy of beings. Or the notion of 'god' signifying some vastly superior supernatural being, or perhaps it's the lack of a holistic thread linking cosmo-, theo- and anthropo-, genesis.
so why would one be in 'service' to something they don't, can't, or won't know the nature of?
I'm off to go float in the pool....
