*he nods and looks over everything* very intresting and the heads?
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:01:00 AM)
Formori...mostly because I wanted to see if I could make one.
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:01:49 AM)
Make a Formori, or shruken head
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:01:50 AM)
Most people except for the Ahrouns that want the trophies usually freak out about now.
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:02:08 AM)
I'd never do it to a true human.
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:02:41 AM)
*he nods slightly* well I am not most people, I have a very open mind, though most of my reseach is in medicine and herbs
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:03:45 AM)
I'm researching that too....to an extent. For Uktena alot of us are all alittle theurge. I can understand spirits...and for me it's a tribal gift.
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:04:53 AM)
Well if you ever want to compare notes give me a call, I do know a lot about spirits, herbs and medicine
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:06:29 AM)
((Sarah can offer occult 3, cosmology 2, rituals 3, wyrmlore 1 (she has higher but she needs to trust folks won't go loony on her!)
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:07:45 AM)
((herblism 2, medicine 3, cos 3 rituals 2))
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:10:04 AM)
((ooh I could use med 3))
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:10:26 AM)
But you were more interested in Voudan.
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:11:40 AM)
*he nods* I know there is a lot of good magic involded, and would want to know how to combat the dark if ever used against us, and I know alot of it deals with herbs
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:12:34 AM)
At base it's sort of like believing in a Spirit Patheon. The creator spirit is male, names vary, and there are families of spirits that are intermedaries. You pray to certain spirit families for fertility, luck, success in buisness, to speak to dead loved ones. This is from the human religious view you realize.
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:13:57 AM)
Voudan is a mix of many things. You may find a Catholic Saint as one of the spirit intermederies, and much of there ritual incorporates on surface anyway...Catholic ritual. Much of this was because they were hiding there beliefs from the Colonials at the time. Pretending to be Christan when they were not.
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:15:00 AM)
*he nods and listens*
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:16:50 AM)
Now....I had dismissed this as merely another human religion until I met a Voodoo death spirit.
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:17:29 AM)
What I forgot is that human beliefs in mass, over time, effect the umbra.
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:18:00 AM)
So there is quite possibily an antire order of spirits that have evolved around these human practicitioners.
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:18:48 AM)
Most humans, the vast majority can't do much. Lucky if they even have a sensitivity to the spirit realm under drugs.
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:18:59 AM)
*he nods* hmm intresting
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:19:52 AM)
Most of the priestesses honestly have little to no power. Much of it falls to practical herbalism, sympathetic magic and remedies, and pure dumb luck.
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:20:45 AM)
*he nods slightly* is that how most of the religions are
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:21:34 AM)
But I've met ONE, and only one human shamon. Humans can have senstivities, physic abilities, etc. She was an honest to Gaia medium. Could hear the spirits of the human dead. ....the human dead seem to exist on another plain then our spirit world but the Striders have informed me ghosts exist. I saw too much instudying this woman to doubt it. She used Voudan ritual to channel the ability but it was real enough.
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:23:27 AM)
The voodoo dolls and the supposed black magic aspects are actually not Voudan at all. They are called Hoodoo, which is actually just a mish mash of superstition beliefs from the islands. Sympathetic curses work very well if the target truly believes the curse is real.......and not so well for someone who doesn't believe. Much of it is in there heads.
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:23:28 AM)
long have my country had stories of the Fae and ghosts
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:25:04 AM)
As for the spirit families....I'm still learning those.
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:27:20 AM)
I would be intrested to help you study these spirits*
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:28:54 AM)
Only was able to find one....and it was pocessing a girl in the park.
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:29:02 AM)
Completely alien/
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:30:08 AM)
You are interesting. So what is with the Fae stuff?
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:34:14 AM)
ah the old stories of the ile of the wee folk, lepraucans, fairies of the forest, it is in our blood, we even have a gift thanks to them
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:35:23 AM)
What are they? Some order of spirit?
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:36:09 AM)
Some say Spirit, some say real creatures with different powers, other say they are mix of both
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:38:15 AM)
You you don't really know?
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:39:03 AM)
I dont know to much other than the stories I heard from my parents and family, but *he waves his hand and the small orb of the fae light appears before him* it is on my list to research
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:40:49 AM)
I've seen that trick before.
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:41:46 AM)
Guess it's nice to have a built in flashlight.
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:42:29 AM)
but it is called a fae light, so some of it has to be true, I mean explain the will o wisp
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:43:50 AM)
Humm.
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:44:46 AM)
You'll hear the rumor around the sept anyway because I've used the gift a time or two in battle. I have shadow tenticles.
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:45:07 AM)
Not going to demo it. Drain's gnosis.
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:45:31 AM)
Shadow Tenticles? oh I would not ask you to, but Shadow Tenticles intresting
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:47:19 AM)
Grapple opponents...etc.
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:48:07 AM)
((this is cool but I need to go to sleep, if you want you can assume Sarah drove you to the sept))
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:48:43 AM)
((kk look forward to continue this))
Sarah Runningfox (Oct 23, 2010 12:49:23 AM)
((OK....Night))
Danny McDougal (Oct 23, 2010 12:49:34 AM)
((night))
