Now, I´m tensed and will read the next part
Not to forget, I like your pics very much and you made some really nice sceneries and angles of view, Very lively. I have the feeling, you really find some fun, making such kind of story
This part was devoted to an introduction to the conception of witchcraft and the role that Hircine plays in it.
those harpies come originally from monster mode of course are a monster brought from Witcher 2.
My favorite part, however, was your discourse on the pagan religion and the more organized ones that made me think of our own pagan religions versus say the Christian ones. I have always favored the idea of the pagan myself - less the sacrifices and some of the superstition and more the bond to nature and the goddess. Being part of the life/death cycle also provides some sense of purpose and renewal.
Here are two very precise concepts of time. The pagan world naturally tied to the agricultural world, exalts fertility and the seasonal cycle to be restored through rites and elaborated through the myth. Christian time as well as that of institutional religion in its own, is a linear time, that is, with a beginning and an end. In paganism the world is eternal, but in the linear one, the dimension of the creation of the world and its end, reveal something that was not necessary, that is, the question of the world's sense, the reason for its beginning and its end and Nothing that is potentially underlying the being, and the problem of salvation.
It should not escape the fact that Aradia, on the one hand, explains to the deacon the essence of his paganism, but from then on the witch will be more and more lurking in the anguish of linear time and how to save the world from the threat it is likely to end. Although in Lore, we talk about a cosmic cycle (kalpa), on the other hand, the end of the cycle marks the end of everything that follows a new beginning, which is a real reset. Even the same gods try to save themselves to land unlucky in the new universe. Salvation is therefore a very important theme in Lore.
In this sense, Aradia more than a pagan heroine is actually a hidden Christian heroine, who has that typical relationship with anxiety that in turn calls its counterpart, that is, faith.
To regain paganism, it is necessary to restore that temporality, but to that temporality it is not possible for us to return, so immersed in linear time, and distressed by the end of the world and its ultimate meaning.
thank you for your comment my friend.
Cheers
I'm starting to like Sir Jhared more and more
