The Cauldron: A Pagan Forum

Tom may have just put in some commentary in his story about the annoying practice of pagan shops to reek of incense.
Tom says, "This magic shop my character has entered only smells of freshly laid herbs! It is a relief!"
You say, "But it smells MYSTICAL! How can you have a problem with OFFERINGS TO THE GODS! And if you were Paganier-than-thou enough, you wouldn't have allergies!"
Tom says, "Then I shall sneeze all over them and hope they get sick."
Tom says, "Or something."
You say, "...now I'm wondering whether the Gods get colds."
Tom says, "Since allergies are communciable diseases."
Tom says, "...are not"
Tom says, "Hm. I dunno."
Jack has disconnected.
Tom says, "I know they sneeze though."
Tom says, "Incarnate gods get colds at the very least."
You say, "Ah, reality's not involved in this discussion anyways, Tom. I say just rolls with it and picture your deity of choice with a nose cold."
Tom says, "XD"
Tom says, "They would totally demand their servants to take care of them and be all miserable in bed."
Tom would totally think Veles would be more happy with being outdoors in fresh air than being in a stuffy shrine filled with incense smoke.
You say, ""You! Gib me sob chickeb soup bow!""
Tom says, "Gods are also less frightening when they keep sneezing as they try to smite you."
You say, "Also, don't forget to picture the red stuffy nose and pile of tissues."
Tom says, "Honestly, all I'd want to do is pile them up in blankets and take care of them."
You say, "I'm imagining Sekhmet, swearing because she's a healing Goddess, damnit, you'd think she could fix a damned cold!"
Tom says, "Bacteria listen to no gods!"
Tom says, "Rather viruses."
Tom says, "I'm trying to imagine Loki or Odin with a cold."
You say, "There. Got confirmation that I don't have to pay the cancellation fee. That's something at least."
Tom says, "Loki would totally play it up."
Tom says, "Odin would...be a grumpy puss and have to put up with Frigga fussing over him."
You say, ""You! Face the wrath of the Eye of ... Ah-choo!""
Tom says, "Odin: I have things to do! Frigga: Not while you have that cold!"
You say, "Followed by a string of swears about how that was NOT how that was meant to go"
You say, "Or, wait... Feline. She totally meant to do that. "Face the wrath of the Eye of Ah-choo! ... Yes, that's totally right. You are now cursed with an eternal cold.""
Tom says, "She who can heal can also bring disease. Clearly."
You say, "Well, that IS how those things work!"

So in chat, we ended up with the following convo:



So, add to the hilarity. What would your deity be like with a really miserable cold?

Beara would be a raging nightmare about it, until Dovinia put her in bed with a nice cup of hot lemon. But she'd pretend not to enjoy that.

All the same... I can't see any of the Cailleachean coming down with a cold. They're more like the force that delivers your colds. :p

Hah!

What's a toddy?

I see Quan Yin ignoring Her symptoms and trying to make hot soup or tea for everyone else. Which would be nice for me right now. I'm not sick, but my allergies are so bad I may as well have a head cold. >.<

I imagine Brighid would be much like my grandma, sick as a dog but determined that she can't just lie around the house while there is Work To Be Done, and ending up making herself sicker out of what she thinks is practicality. (The rest of us call it hardheaded.)
