wheeee!

I saved Kuan Yin (woo!) and Lakshmi, who I should give more attention to, and Lilith mainly because I've a rat named after her. (If you ever make a Pandora one, that'd complete my set, but I don't think she's actually a goddess.)

Hmm... well, from what I've heard, anyone from those early races of Man were demi-gods. Pandora had the breath of life breathed into her directly by the gods, so I think she counts. Plus, she'd a make an awesome icon.

(Sorry about your Artemis rattie, by the way... and what an astounding naming coincidence.)

Yes, I suppose I get muddled thinking of gods and demi-gods. She wasn't a plain old mortal, in any case.

Thanks for your thoughts on my Artemis, too.

I've heard of Hel and Lilith, but none of the others. Where did you find them?

Where? Oh, all over the place. Books, web sites, Religious Studies classes. Avatars of the Goddess is a good site for looking up names if you've forgotten them, which is usually my problem. For example, I knew Ptesan-Wi as "White Buffalo Calf Woman", but couldn't remember her original name for the life of me. So I went there, and there she was. :D

Hmm. I thought I had, but either I haven't or I haven't posted it yet. Thanks for the reminder, and I'll see what I can do.
