Vernon: Well, I ain't never really heard o' "Nordic Runes" before, I'm thinkin' y'all might a' meant Norwulffish Runes. And what kinda mammals would think Norwulff's god's are somehow a display of Predator Supremacy? The Norwulffish religion's one o' the larger represented religions even now...behind things like Capridism, Bambism, and Simbology and such...
Dawn: I'd say it's a bit of a stretch to call following the Norwulffish belief system supporting some sort of predatory supremacy. All species have their respective pantheon of gods, or a monolithic god. Additionally, like the Egyiptian religion, and the Roarmam' and Fleece religions...at least before they were snuffed out by the dominating Pridelands Simbology, had multiple species of both pred and prey as various gods in their religion that stood on equal footing. I mean, Simbology does too...but most non-lions are relegated to being apostles or saints.
Vernon: Well to be fair...the bigger roles in the Norwulffish belief system do go to wolves, but it's cause I mean...it was created by wolves after all...but we also got Vulki the trickster god, Baahldur, the wise and gentle ram, Tigyr, tiger god o' war, Heimdeer watcher of the gods and the one who opens the rainbow bridge to Asgrowl...the list kinda goes all over the place. *Chuckles* Pred, prey, all gods more er' less in equal standin'...and sometimes equally benevolent er' treacherous...
Dawn: Well that was a feature of most gods across pretty much all religions...honestly one would think gods are supposed to be better than the rest of us. I honestly don't know if I'm more reassured or terrified to know based on the myths that they can be just as bad as mortals are.
Vernon: That said...mosta' my family, myself included have a passive belief in the Norwulff religion. While we ain't doin' private family Solistice rituals or goin' to wolf group gatherin's fer that sorta thang...we do obviously do the tithin' rights, and we do tend to use gods names fer curse words...*Chuckles*
Dawn: Same thing for my family and Capridism. As well as the moral foundation...
Vernon: Save fer that bit about not datin' outside yer species right?
Dawn: *Giggles* Oh most caprids haven't referred to that rule and actually meant it in centuries. And even so...it only did get bandied about relationships with those outside of the caprid family...like deer, or pigs, or...
Vernon: Wolves?
Dawn: Well, I don't think a sheep would ever admit to their caprid congregation or pastor they were interested in a wolf...especially not in the old days. As I said, it wasn't a strictly enforced sort of rule...but in the case of mating with a predator...I think it probably would have been.
Vernon: In that case, iffin' we ever go to a caprid church, just tell 'em I'm a big wooly goat. That's what Gus' family always considered me as....
Dawn: *Giggling*
