1. Would you allow other gods before you or be a jealous god?

Other gods are cool. I'd be fine with my followers also working with other deities, as long as they maintained a level of quality in worship when they were working with me. As soon as they start half-assing it I wouldn't be happy with these other, obviously distracting gods.

2. What bizarre lifestyle requirements would you place on your priesthood?

No strict militant vegetarians or vegans. Mm. Once a month my worshippers should journey into the closest heavily-treed area, with the intent of letting themselves be wild for a day, through shapeshifting. Feeding ravens and crows. Sponsorship and support for endangered/protected species. Knowing the meaning of sacrifice, and doing so on waning crescent nights.

3. What sacrifice would be most pleasing unto you?

REALLY good incense, and lots of it. Leaves floating in clean, flowing water. Feathers. Shiny things, esp. things made by hand with devotion and pleasure. Bondage, flaggelation, sensory deprivation (with purpose, mind you, not "just 'cause"). Things that have meaning to the individual. I want sacrifices to be things that are the right thing from the right person at the right time.

4. How many sacraments would you have, and what would they be?
Hmm. Not sure. Full moons and waning crescents, definetely. Solstices and equinoxes. Rites of passage...whatever and whenever you determine they are, or you need them. Cleansing.

5. How would you smite those who offended thee in thy sight?
A room with no doors, full of mimes. *shudders* Or clowns. Or maybe clowns with spiders. All hideous things there. Or quite possibly to spend eternity run down by my glorious pack of hounds and wolves, or eaten alive each day by ravens only to grow all the flesh back at night...

6. With what other gods would you consort?

Any of them that can deal with my blunt, unvarnished, somewhat-feral self. Vain, vacant, or closed-minded deities need not apply.


7. With what omens would you announce your impending arrival on earth?

I wouldn't come to Earth. I would make my followers come to me - the journey to heed the Calling, and the test as the journey...

8. What animal would symbolically represent you in your scriptures?

Owls, ravens, crows, wolves, or any albino animal - if I had scriptures. I more than likely would not, instead having either an oral tradition of stories and poems, or simply a few poems written about me. Experiential would be a better thing for my worship.

And question 9 sucks, and I'm not even bothering. To bed!

One day you’ll walk the world
and keep in mind
The heart you’ve been given
in winter time
And through the bitter cold,
with opened eyes
You’ll find the strength to fight
and stand upright
