Ok, you win. I logged in as instructed by the e-mail but I'm warning you all now that I'm from Texas, and I know how to shoot a gun so don't try to come after me. My name is Philippa, I just graduated for Texas A&M and since I don't know what you want, I don't know what else to say. I suppose I'll just poke around some and try to see what this is about.

Then I have another question for you: Are you familiar with the name, Epona?

[divine-mare.insanejournal.com]

The horse from Ocarina of Time? Fun game. That horse was a bay though and this one is certainly not. I think it's a Connemara, if we're being specific. I don't know why I'd know that.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

Not the character from the video game, but rather it's namesake. Epona was a goddess associated with horses in ancient Rome and Gaul.

[divine-mare.insanejournal.com]

And you think that's who my original life was?

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

I'm simply being hypothetical. It's up to you to determine if it's true.

[divine-mare.insanejournal.com]

I'm deleting this website from my favorites and going to see a shrink

I don't think I like you.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

We actually have one amongst our time if you want to save time and money.

Understandable

[divine-mare.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd imagine you get that a lot.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

Perhaps, but I like to think I'm at least personable.

[divine-mare.insanejournal.com]

Maybe when you aren't telling someone they're the offspring of a man and his horse, sure.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

None of us choose our parentage.

[divine-mare.insanejournal.com]

So if I'm who you think I am. Not only am I a horse person goddess thing...but you're my King? This seems awfully convenient for you.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

Actually I'm not our pantheon's current ruler. That title currently belongs to Mab.

I apologize if I have come across brusquely. Honestly it was not my intent to make you uncomfortable.

If you were Epona, it is nothing to be ashamed of. She was a revered figure.

[divine-mare.insanejournal.com]

So I'm a former Celtic-Gallo-Roman Goddess.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

I believe so.

[divine-mare.insanejournal.com]

So what does that mean?

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

I can tell you, but it would involve explaining a lot more irrational sounding things.

Do you believe you're ready for that?

[divine-mare.insanejournal.com]

No. I believe I'm ready to go ride on top of my horse instead of thinking about becoming one.

My horse's name is Rhiannon. Ironic...or maybe just my subconscious playing tricks on me.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

That's fine. Take some time to clear your head of things.

The subconscious can be annoying like that.

[divine-mare.insanejournal.com]

So you and I and your brother...we're Celts. And Adonis down there is Greek...and as I poke around this message board I'm seeing all sorts of types of people.

Do you all live together in some sort of God commune?

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

Yes, there are several pantheons, also including Hindu, Egyptian, Judeo-Christian, and Norse

No, we all have our own human homes and such. Though each pantheon is searching for their own ancestral homes, which somehow are hidden her ein the United States.

[divine-mare.insanejournal.com]

I see.

How many from our pantheon are there?

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

Yourself included? 4. We had 5 but..he disappeared. I'm not trying to be smart or cover something up. King Arthur was among our number until he was spirited away by our hosts. Disappearing is something that happens for whatever reason the powers have.

[divine-mare.insanejournal.com]

Great. So I could just disappear. This keeps getting better.

I've met you, I've met your half-brother. I've met me. So there's just our illustrious Queen left.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

Mab is..not the most social of people, but you'll likely meet her before too long.
