Other than a bit of misrepresented Judaic mythology the lore was well-presented and the context interestingly rendered. New approaches to some of the "ancient enemy" archetypes were nice, but I don't remember some of what happened. After talking it over with a few other people there, this is apparently not uncommon for trancework? But I've never

What you do is take the side roads no one really uses as a shortcut to get there. Very WTF? but also weirdly useful. :)

misrepresentation?

[dietrich]

As far as the Judaic mythology goes: imlad looked up the Wikipedia page in Hebrew and it states that it's probable that the Nephilim were the fallen angels, not their offspring. Even the English wikipedia page is uncertain about it; the language both in the original and in translation is extremely weird and difficult to interpret. But there is apparently a later verse that names the Nephilim as the fallen angels.

The bible stories and single jewish folktale I'd heard with them in it didn't reference them as being the Fallen themselves. The representation as it was presented isn't that relevant to me anyway, I was just bothered by it in that itchy-minded mythology pedant way that I still get sometimes.

When there's conflicting views of the thing being spoken of, I like to have the controversy named so that the red flags for information accuracy don't start taking up my attention. If there's already a debate and the speaker says so, I don't have to take a side. If there's not a debate or the debate is ignored or glossed over I have to decide whether to start the debate and spend my and other people's time on it, or just have my brain itch. Ignoring it is sadly not an option. Once I've noticed it, it irritates me and keeps coming back. One day maybe I'll figure out why that is.
