splitting hairs?

173 messages

Select a forum:

"Gods and goddesses grew from people personifying experiences and places (and both combined). First there was probably 'spirit of place'. As tribal people intermingled they must have realised that they all had the same idea about places as everyone else. These eventually became the gods."

Which bit of Graves do you mean? What's the difference between a god and one of these spirits of place? Does everyone have to realise that they share the same symbols of place (and experience) before the spirits become gods? The symbols themselves are the same both before and after this recognition, surely, and fulfil the same role for people. And this bit about tribal people intermingling - was there ever a time when tribal people weren't intermingling and migrating? The whole world is African, or so Black Uhuru say.
