Besides, it's not "now", it's "by and by". The book in the trance series that will deal with having gods in is a bit down the road yet; the one that she has the contract for covers "first, learn to breathe" and goes to "running amok in the Otherworld with your posse".
And it's not like I can pretend that I wasn't going to do this anyway and oh dear when will I ever had the time/motivation/gumption to begin and oh here's someone who actually /wants/ this from me so. . .need fills need. So yes, years will be needed because I don't have enough personally built up and there's a lot of people to coax into talking with me about this. It will be added to the "to be thought about" list along with some other things.
While that's true, there are citations amongst the sagas, which would obviously have to be waved and thumped for this purpose. Actually, the one that springs fastest to mind is the same one we thump when we talk about possessory stuff...
Oh, I'm aware of them. I pout because I'm used to countless /volumes/ of work dedicated to this single subject from which to draw concrete information. But in truth, I don't think there needs to be a lot of lore on this because it's not the sort of thing that you should be refering to a book about anyway. It is as personal and as passionate as one's own dreams and, like dreams, cannot be truly interpreted by any except the dreamer themselves. Looking in the Interpret Your Dreams In Ten Minutes Or Less book may give you a pointer or two, but true insight depends on self-knowledge, and that's what the devotional path can give you.
Devotional practice has a place in heathenry--it even has a lore-justified place, and I aims to ensure it's claimed properly.
Cool. Go team.
But, again, you have a lot lead time on this--we're not on the Raven Kaldera Hella-imposed schedule of "write everything and have had it published yesterday and WHY AREN'T YOU DONE?" that I hear about from time to time...
Heh. Well in this single assignment I don't have that, but I'm operating under Hel's Own Pointy Boot about a lot of the rest of my writing so you'll forgive a certain level of brittleness in response to "oh you should write. . ." ;)
