Hrm. Good question. Probably (1) and (3), as the case may be. (mutters about omissions)

Again, a most excellent treatment of a relgion.

I think I might steal your template...:)

I can't claim the template's wholly original; it's derived from the one describing Gloranthan religions in Cults of Prax and Cults of Terror, many a long year back, albeit with a number of changes. That being said, steal away!

A very nice technical layout, splendid paragraphing and very useful. The content itself is not exceptional but it is of good quality.

Keep posting!

Some good information here - but much of it is taken word for word from other websites, including http://www.thunderpaw.com/neocelt/mists.htm (which I noticed has a copyright date of 1995). We all borrow inspiration from other sources, but you may want to credit the original source.

Well, now, that's interesting. I think I ought to have a chat with Mr. Gibson, since I wrote the second of the two invocations cited around 1987 for a pagan ritual; I once was heavily in the pagan movement and wrote a bunch of stuff for publication. (Not that I *care* that much, but.) Thanks for the tipoff!

The first of the two invocations there is far older, and has roots in ancient Celtic oaths, so while my phrasing's been cribbed as well, I can't precisely claim plagiarism for infringement of interpretations of the "sky above me, sea around me, earth beneath me" riff. Hell, it's pretty obvious that this includes a bunch of Celtic mythic elements.

That being said, I did cite contributions on one of the other religions (where the holidays were ALL from the Arduin Grimoire, which I've used for a game calendar for decades, and where another author contributed to some bits) and promptly broke the submission; it seems that the "Contributors" box only works for registered users of this site.

Very thought out idea, and a great template at that. This could easily be used for an RPG, which is exactly what people are looking for. Great quality, great job.

Now this is a great god submission! Solid, with much detail, the occasional in-joke tickles as well. Me likey!
