in exodus 14: 10-15
God sends a message to the Israelite to do three things.
- Do not fear (i'll be your shield)
- stand still (i'll take care of it for you)
- go forward (i'll help you along the way)
my gods would have been like:
- Do not fear (i'll give you a spear and shield)
- Stand still (an listen.... Athena and Morrigan will teach you how to fight)
- Go forward (we'll pick you up if you fall to deep to pick yourself up)
In native american culture there 2 types of teachers. the wolf and the coyote.
wolf will tell you right away "the fire is hot."
coyote will say "touch it. its hot? now you know." and then will laugh with you, so you do not feel too foolish.
The Christian God seems more like the wolf, my gods are more like the coyote. and this is good because i think i learn best this way.
