I went back to Persephone, this time armed not only with the Limyran Oracle cards I'd made, but with my tarot cards as well for a more indepth reading. I used the Limyran Oracle first and amazingly ended up picking the exact same card that jumped into my lap before (delta, for those who are curious - "enslaved to customs, ill timed or mismeasured

No kidding. None of my gods seemed to be too involved with normal, everyday, civic religious life. The more I think about it, I don't know that you can have a normal, quiet religious life with a set up like mine.

This could turn into quite a ride. :-)

(this is assuming a choice is really implied here)

There's always a choice. Sure, you cannot force the gods to do anything, but as far as what they want and expect from you, you have the choice to rise to the challenge or run away, or many things in between.

I don't recommend running away, btw. :)

Oh I know there's a choice.

What I was thinking of when I wrote that was what happened with Aphrodite, a goddess who drifted into my life for one purpose and then left. I ignored her when she first showed up, because I didn't think it was really her and/or I didn't really want anything to do with her. And she just kept mentally kicking me until I finally gave in and asked her what she wanted.

The lesson I took away from that is if the gods really, really want my attention, they'll get it. And if I don't want to listen they'll annoy the hell out of me until I do. ;-D

Of course that whole situation was much different than what I'm describing up above. What deity would want a priest who has to be coerced into the job?

I have no intentions of running away.
