Thanks , Anradh!

Is it true that in most RL natreligions, if they have a Creator Deity, that is significantly likelier to be masculine than feminine?
If so, what is the explanation for that in our real world?
If such an explanation exists, could whatever-it-is also apply to our conpeoples’ conreligions?
.

Anradh, I want to hear more about that psychological horror!
And about the entheogens!

Re: Conworlders' religious influences on conworlds
I have what might be described as a "universalist" approach to religion: I believe there is some truth to be found in all religions, that there is no "one true religion", but that all religions are an attempt at accessing the Creator. Because of this, I've long been interested in the world's religions and I've tried to learn as much as I can about a wide variety of them.
This is reflected in my conworlding in that the Mantian religion takes from a number of different religions that I'm familiar with or that I've studied. It's polytheistic, but with a finite number of deities. It's both a system of worship and a political system (similar to Islam), it teaches reincarnation in a cyclic nature (similar to Hinduism) as well as mysticism, and its creation mythology is inspired by Gnosticism. So although its origins are a bit of a mishmash, it's far from haphazard, and I've actually spent a lot of time thinking about it, fine-tuning it, and writing about it.
It's not necessarily a reflection of the type of religion I would want to follow, especially as it's tinged with Mantian culture. My conworld is definitely not a utopia by any means: Mantians can be brutal and warlike and their society is very Medieval-esque; it's fairly backward from my point of view. And the religion is extremely hierarchical and political. But I've included in the religion certain elements of religious belief that I find fascinating: there are esoteric texts that monastic orders devote their lives to interpreting, there is an element of theophany (Mantian religious lore includes many stories of the deities taking human form and "testing" people in these forms), and there's an emphasis on meditation and seeking mystical communion with the deities in one's life.
And despite the patriarchal Mantian society, the religion is surprisingly gender-neutral. There are an equal number of goddesses as there are gods, and none rank above each other (though individuals or subsets of society may place emphasis on certain deities), and the creation myth tells of the gods creating three sub-deities: a male angelic being, a female angelic being, and an animal angelic being, the three of which together forged the physical world.

Re: Conworlders' religious influences on conworlds
Actually, I just realized that my polytheistic Zlaund Cults in the world of Fuhe, oddly enough, have influence from Judaism. The Kabbalah teaches that the sun is "Masculine" and the moon is "Feminine", which is why the Zlaund Cults use that assignment to the Sun and Moon deities- I know there were polytheistic cultures IRL that did the opposite, or had both as male but that's so alien to me that the Zlaund Cults wound up with a Male Sun and a Female Moon. Also the ties of the Lunar Phases to Menstruation is also from Kabbalah- the Curse of Eve is monthly because the moon is feminine. Also, I just realized that the idea that the Moon was supposed to be as large as the Sun comes from a Midrash to Genesis 1 that says the same thing, but the angel of the moon got into an argument with G-d, and thus was punished by having the moon reduced.

To give a few data points:
- in Catholicism, the deity has no sex, and is considered to have both male and female characteristics
- in Hesiod, the first thing is chaos, but the second thing is Gaia, who is the first thing to act like a deity (she's female)
- Homer identifies Oceanus (male), but apparently possibly with the help of Tethys (female)
- Alcman identifies Thetis (female) as the creator
- in the popular Orphic tradition, the creator is Nyx (female)
- Empedocles and the Atomists placed the blame on two women, Philotes and Neikos (affection and strife).
- in Gilgamesh, the creator is Nammu (female)
- in Hermopolis, the creators were the Ogdoad, eight male and eight female deities, and particularly the male and female Nu and Naunet
- but in Heliopolis, Memphis and Thebes, the creators were various Atum, Amun, or Ptah, all male.
One factor that might be relevant is the theory of sex. Many people have believed that women have no role in reproduction other than providing shelter - the Greek notion of the creative male seed and the female receptive soil. This is likely to promote theories of a male creator. In Christianity, for instance, a traditional rationale for the all-male priesthood was that male priests could symbolically represent the male, creative and nurturing side of the deity, while females, having no experience of creation and no role in the reproductive process, could not do so.
However, many other people have believed that men have no role in reproduction. Some people have believed that men (and sex) had nothing to do with conception; others have believed that the male contribution amounted only to encouragement and inspiration. Such beliefs are likely to encourage notions of a female creator.
But in general, creation myths aren't something religions are interested in - there are often multiple, competing accounts of creation, including sometimes superficially incompatible stories. Even seemingly physical accounts of creation - Atum masterbating, for instance - are usually understood as metaphorical.

Re: Conworlders' religious influences on conworlds
To add to this The Kojiki, which was a collection of various myths and folktales from early Japan (then, Yamato), states that the universe more or less developed on it's own from primordial chaos; Certain elements separated from others and spontaneously produced the first three kami, all of which were neither male nor female. Then a seed produced a shoot from which came two more genderless kami. It is only after this that 7 generations of creator kami were produced, and the first two generations where ALSO genderless, and following those were 5 male and female pairs. The last pair - Izunami and Izunagi - created the physical world together. There is a portion of this myth that some (maybe many) people have taken to mean that women should be subservient to men, but even having asked about that specifically with a Shinto priest, he said that another interpretation is simply that one should do things in the proper order to obtain the best result. (There's also a tale about the offspring Izunami and Izunagi created when "not going in the proper order" with their marriage, telling how he overcame being born into the world without bones and turned into one of the 7 gods of good fortune! But that's a bit of a tangent for this conversation.)Salmoneus wrote: ↑08 Jul 2018 21:57Why would you even imagine that it would be!?eldin raigmore wrote: ↑08 Jul 2018 13:12 Is it true that in most RL natreligions, if they have a Creator Deity, that is significantly likelier to be masculine than feminine?

Re: Conworlders' religious influences on conworlds
To add to this, in Judaism, the Creator has no gender, but expresses itself to mankind in a "Masculine" manner and a "Feminine" manner, and as until the Messiah-King comes, the Masculine is the dominate way of interacting with creation, all Tanakh and Rabbinic Writings uses the Masculine, never the Feminine.

Re: Conworlders' religious influences on conworlds
Correct, though more to the point, God has divine characteristics, rather than "male" and "female" human characteristics. Otherwise, the association with male terminology is surely a matter of tradition & mystery. We call God "Father" because Jesus called God "Father" (and not "Mother"). Why that should be, we won't know til later.
In The World, I take it also as a matter of unrevealed mystery why the Creator (also, Being without gender characteristics) would be called "Father" by the three principle races and regardless of their actual religion. And, in the case at least of the Daine, in light of their usual stance on such things as gender role assignment. I suppose one could point to matters of mythology and psychology of each race, though that would surely be missing the point. The truth is undoubtedly much deeper and possibly also won't be known til rather later. Or maybe not at all.
An interesting thought to consider! In fact, Daine view things the opposite way around: it's the female that has the power of reproduction. She is nurturing soil as well as creative seed. The male just provides, er, a bit of a sprinkling can service to get things moving along. Encouragement and inspiration indeed!One factor that might be relevant is the theory of sex. Many people have believed that women have no role in reproduction other than providing shelter - the Greek notion of the creative male seed and the female receptive soil. This is likely to promote theories of a male creator.
Much simpler than that, I should think. While women have always held key roles, and Mary the keyest role of all, the fact remains that Jesus, for some odd reason, appointed twelve guys. To these Apostles he gave over his priestly authority and power. One can probably argue that he chose to come into the world at a time when sex roles were rigid, a patriarchal society, etc. Nevertheless, the fact remains and the explanation was not given at the time.In Christianity, for instance, a traditional rationale for the all-male priesthood was that male priests could symbolically represent the male, creative and nurturing side of the deity, while females, having no experience of creation and no role in the reproductive process, could not do so.
(On this matter, the Church in The World is divergent. There are, apart from the Twelve (Apostles) the Other Twelve (the Protoapostles), women, whose roles are priestly in nature but more rightly governatorial. They are the ones who summon the men, call them back from the brink of despair and send them forth again. They are the apostles to the Apostles. We can see a glimpse of them here in the gospel --- they are the women who attended the tomb, found it empty, went back to the others, called the men back from the brink of despair and sent them out again.
In the World, these priestly women are always brought out from the monastic houses (most male priests are also monastic, but that's neither here nor there!) and they all have the function of bishop and metropolitan.
Quite possibly. Although the Daine are of this opinion as far as reproduction goes, on the matter of a (mythological) creator, they are much more tacit. The Creator (.i. God) is, if you'll pardon the analogy, kind of like gravity. He's there. A fact or reality. Refusing to believe will not save you from splatting on the rocks at the bottom of the cliff. Not something that can be either ignored or waved away or arranged into a neat mythology. Daine (and Teyor) being what they are, have some interesting gaps in their mythologies. And creator god(desses) is one of those gaps in stark contrast to Men who love to multiply their gods (& goddesses) and worship anything in a pantheon. And more than creator deities, neither race has any gods to speak of. Daine have a certain veneration for living monks & passed saints (rather like the Christian communion of saints), but they have no understanding of gods the way Men (et al.) do.However, many other people have believed that men have no role in reproduction. Some people have believed that men (and sex) had nothing to do with conception; others have believed that the male contribution amounted only to encouragement and inspiration. Such beliefs are likely to encourage notions of a female creator.
True that. We can see two in Genesis. I think, at least as far as the lore of Teyor and the understanding of that lore of Daine goes, creation is more a matter of historical recollection rather than a matter for mythmakers.But in general, creation myths aren't something religions are interested in - there are often multiple, competing accounts of creation, including sometimes superficially incompatible stories. Even seemingly physical accounts of creation - Atum masterbating, for instance - are usually understood as metaphorical.
Re: Conworlders' religious influences on conworlds
Another thought that may (or may not!) bear on this mystery of fundamental natures is Love. Of course, I'm not saying that Daine girls do not or can not love --- this is pretty basic to the Daine person! --- but there are differences in how females and males love that may help to shed some light on why they understand the Creator as male rather than female.eldin raigmore wrote: ↑07 Jul 2018 18:15 @elemtilas:
Isn’t it much more natural, if one is assigning a sex (or gender) to the Creator, to conceive of Her as a Mother, rather than as a Father?
Particularly if She is the Originator of Life?
I think that would be more consistent with the life-experience of every land-dwelling tetrapod; or at least every placental or marsupial mammal.
Who do we see giving birth, providing sustenance, etc.?
As I said already, among Daine, there is the belief that females have the whole power of reproduction and are thus the active vessels of creation. Chaos seeking order. Raw substance evolving towards energetic matter. The essential power of Love focused through reason. That sort of thing. What does the male bring to the table? His is the passionate love. The seeking one. The one that would unite chaotic order, energetic matter and give it shape.
Daine are, as a rule, renown creators, artisans and artists. Also, more or less as a rule, it's the boys that do most of the artistic creation. Girls are the great talkers: just rulers, deep contemplators. Likewise, their kind of love is deep and abiding, but often below the surface. Boys are the great doers: unruly, not so deep, but passionate and inflammable. Their kind of love is similarly ardent.
There is perhaps something of an understanding of the nature of God to be found here. For God is our impassioned lover: throughout history, he has sought after us, tried to woo us to his side, tried to teach us and tame our rawness. He kept at us and eventually gave himself up for us.
Re: Conworlders' religious influences on conworlds
I've long had a streak of universalism as well, and there is some truth to it. After all, bits and snatches of truth can be found in many places! I'd actually be very surprised if we geopoets in general lacked an interest in world religions, even those who affirm Atheism.KaiTheHomoSapien wrote: ↑08 Jul 2018 17:59 I have what might be described as a "universalist" approach to religion: I believe there is some truth to be found in all religions, that there is no "one true religion", but that all religions are an attempt at accessing the Creator.

Certainly touches on many branches, though I'd not call it a "mish-mash". After all, Christianity has its gnostic denominations, Islam has its mysticism.

What in particular do you find distasteful about Mantian religion?
Makes sense.And despite the patriarchal Mantian society, the religion is surprisingly gender-neutral. There are an equal number of goddesses as there are gods, and none rank above each other (though individuals or subsets of society may place emphasis on certain deities), and the creation myth tells of the gods creating three sub-deities: a male angelic being, a female angelic being, and an animal angelic being, the three of which together forged the physical world.

I rather doubt that rationale would be found in the Fathers. Or any later teaching of the Church. See here for example.

[15] Yet she shall be saved through childbearing; if she continue in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety. "
Maybe with some influence from this quote from 1 Cor 14:
"[34] Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith. [35] But if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church. "

Hmm. Ulterior motive, eldin? :Peldin raigmore wrote: ↑08 Jul 2018 13:12Anradh, I want to hear more about that psychological horror!
And about the entheogens!
I haven't decided what the entheogens actually are, primarily because I'm having difficulty finding naturally occurring deleriant chemicals that would grow in the correct climate—I'm thinking naturalised datura strains, maybe brought along by prehistoric human migration to the geographical region of the setting I'm interested in.
The deleriant effect is necessary for what I'm after, and contributes heavily to the 'horror' part. "Is that terrifying shadow entity real, or in the character's head? Was that actually a spell, or just the drugs? What in the hell is actually happening right now?"
The ambiguity lets me extend it to other superstitions they have. For example, about the ocean—home of Chaos, where souls not rescued by the Mother goddess go to dissolute—and deep-running water—rivers carry dead souls back to Chaos, and being submerged in deep or fast flowing water drains your soul— and then there's the fay spirits of the forest, based heavily on traditional European folklore (will o' the wisp expies and the like).
This kind of horror tends to work better in games and films, but I feel like I can still have shades of it in a written medium.

Primarily, the colder temperature, but I suspect I could have it 'imported' down from the northern-most clans, who have it warmer. Henbane seems possibly more willing to live in the cold, if less strong in its deleriant effect.
I suppose I can use both though; any witch that dies on her trip can be blamed on the demons!
