July Theme: Let There Be Light
Apologies to the faithful this month may be a little blasphemous
In June, we zipped around the world inspiring stories about people and place:
This month we’re looking above
We’ll take our inspiration from the powerful, mischievous,and inscrutable gods of Old and New. And seeing if these beings of creation can inspire ours.
What was the genesis of this?
This all started for me when I read American Gods.
I’d bumped into Neil Gaiman’s work via Good Omens, but had until recently not read anything of his own works for some unknown, blasphemous reason.
I so made swift amends, and hail Mary, what a good book it was.
Truly inspiring
Both its subtle reimagining and clashing of old and new gods and their mythologies with hints of the cultures that spawned them. All set in a realistic but increasingly magical world.
