Birth of the GODS


In the beginning there was Danu, exhausted from her labors to bring the gods of craft into being, and Thoth, griping about his tan. Danu and Thoth knew each other casually, for all sun-lovers are friends under their godhood—when Danu said, “I'd like to do something for Myself.”

Being a male god, Thoth nodded his head and made a sound that was later interpreted by the Oracle to mean, "Sure, Danu. Whatever you say." Millennia passed and Danu would say, “My children are grown and don't need ME anymore. I enjoy being oiled by my legions of man candy, but I want more. I'd like to start a review blog from a craft of writing point of view.” Thoth knew his male attributes were getting in the way of understanding Danu and brought in Athena, a female god. The goddess of Wisdom knew the mind of Danu.

“She wants a review blog done through a craft of writing point of view,” said Athena. “Create one! Or I’ll send owls.” Afraid of her high-capacity owls, the Lord of Khemennu labored in the cold, still night to bring forth The GODS of Writing, a review blog done from a craft of writing point of view.

When morning came, Danu, mother to the GODS, looked on his creation and smiled. Her smile scared Thoth almost as much as Athena’s owls and he added more content, beseeching the gods to release others to her project. His pleas were answered in the form of Airmid and the guest pantheon. The GODS are coming.
Are you ready?
