Perhaps all these things?

To some extent I'm still...Good questions both!<br /><br />To some extent I'm still looking for the answers myself as writing this was a process of discovery. <br /><br />Lorna, I have an idea that they are both aspects of one person but at the same time each of them is the beckoning figure to the other. <br /><br />Hamadryad, this doesn't rule out the Crone adopting aspects of an initiate to another aspect of the initiate, and I think I have been influenced by wiccan initiation practices here (though I didn't realize it at the time) but if its 'initiation' the emphasis is on the personal experience rather than any ritualized coven practice.<br /><br />Part Two ? ... I wonder when that will emerge?<br /><br />Heronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294795667742572109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337215097735623425.post-65455430295498048462014-10-28T14:13:38.592+00:002014-10-28T14:13:38.592+00:00What a fascinating end to this astonishing story. ...What a fascinating end to this astonishing story. Is the figure they follow the Crone? Is this some sort of initiation for both of them?

Are Gareth and Gwenno in the same place and encountering the same figure? If so why can't they see each other? Is it some kind of spell? Or they in a state like when we journey as a group to the same place and / or to meet a deity, arrive and meet them but not each other? Much to say about perception of otherworlds and otherworldy figures. And here even Nothing is alive... Looking forward to part two :)Lorna Smithershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04210963634970467664noreply@blogger.com
