Do Skadi get into arguments with any of the other goddesses servants that Shirou is contracted with, like Ishtar or Parvati, about which goddesses he likes best?

“She does get into arguments with the other goddesses servants about which one I favor the most…and I’d to stepped in to stop them from using their powers when the argument get heated.” Shirou sighed heavily as he turned his attention to three goddesses who were looking at each other with a competitive glint.

Writing fics and stories that feature mythology and cosmic horror can be an adventure in on itself.

One minute you’re writing vampire fics that feature Mesopotamian Mythology and Celtic Mythology in the source material’s canon, and are studying how to better utilize them. The next you’re going down rabbit hole after rabbit hole of how Greek and Mesopotamian Mythology connect in an historical/cultural context. Same with Celtic, Norse and Arthurian mythology. And I end up writing these connections into said stories for world building.

Don’t get me started about wanting to write Hastur in one of my fics, because he was name dropped and played a small/critical role in source material. Now I’m going down the King in Yellow rabbit hole. Which in turn had me going down the Cthulhu Mythos, Lovecraft and Derleth iceberg. And to add a cherry on top ? Reading The Great God Pan, and the subsequent history lesson of the deity of Pan himself.

It was built at the beginning of the 6th century BC. by Nebuchadnezzar II.

Today you can see it at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin

Cuando dios era mujer: deidades femeninas de la antigüedad

Hubo un tiempo en el que las plegarias humanas iban dirigidas a la Diosa Madre, como divinidad de divinidades que dominaba un mundo de sociedades agrícolas. Los distintos cultos populares a las Diosas se habían organizado a través de uno primigenio y elemental: el poder de dar vida. Desde este punto de vista la fertilidad de la tierra y la fecundidad femenina es una misma cosa para las sociedades…
