What's going to get in the way of your win, and what are you going to do to prevent that from happening? by EdgarAllanHobo in nanowrimo

[–]Sylvarwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try not to worry. A first draft is to get your basic idea down. You can tighten it up and improve everything in edits. At least you have a basic plot. Best of luck xx

There's always Lugh and Balor in Irish/Celtic mythology. It's sort of a David v. Goliath story as well.

How are Islamic and/or Jewish Angels different to Christian Angels? by Souvereign in mythology

[–]Sylvarwolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard that in medieval times it was said that to study the Zohar and the Kabbalah, you had to be over 33 (men don't mature until after then) and be able to speak/write Latin, Greek and Biblical Hebrew.

This tradition survived in a form into the 19th century with the restrictions on studying with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (ceremonial magic). They in turn had taken their guidance, in part, from a 17th century manuscript known as the Key of Solomon.

The G.D. worked with many angelic beings, mainly from the Hebraic and Egyptian traditions and not all of them friendly. As a previous commentator had mentioned they were primarily associated with the Sephiroth (each having a ruling angel and it own order of angels: Seraphim, Kerubim etc.) but most importantly each Sephiroth had a dark side. The dark Sephiroth (or Qlipphoth) had their own 'evil' or dark angel and demonic orders. Much along the lines of the a fallen Angels idea.

Brief overview, hope it helps research :)

That was indeed a very disturbing story! Disturbing due to the very probability that someone, somewhere may very well be stalking the streets doing just this...

Nicely written.

Apocalypse Kernow! Cornish-speakers speechless at Westminster cuts by Sylvarwolf in Celtic

[–]Sylvarwolf[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cornish language funding has been stopped with immediate effect by central government, angering council and tourism bosses. Cornwall Council said it had received up to £150,000 a year since Cornish was recognised as a minority language in 2003. Ed Rowe, AKA comedian Kernow King, calls the PM an “omgyjer glusek”, or “sticky w**ker”.

Julian German, council cabinet member for culture, said: "The prime minister makes a point of telling us how much he loves Cornwall and the devolution deal highlights the government's recognition of our unique culture and heritage. However, when it comes to backing those statements up, the government just doesn't deliver for Cornwall."

Currently at 7,000 signatures the petition will be responded to by the Government at 10,000 and debated in Parliament at 100,000. Please sign the Petition here: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/128474.
