Hello all Thankyou very much for your considered and contructive views. They are very, very much appreciated. My deity is currently morphing of its own accord, so leaving to its own devices for a bit... I agree it's probably easier (and safer) to create a figurative representation, but thinking about it I probably invest more into books more where I can draw greater parallels with the real world. Those which reside just outside the limits of reality have greater pull than pure fantasy for me because they seem more plausible and therefore possible. Is that the case for you guys, or vice versa?
