Anyway, it's silly bevause a key thing is that our Powers tend towards gender fluidity -they can appear in appear in all sorts of forma. But in practice, I've only got so much time, and so unless I go through writing dual myth sets and multiple liturgies, what's going to happen is that Deities are closely associated with a gender; it's not really a solution to take a heterosexual myth and rewrite it with all the gender pairings, nor a good use of time.

Since my last post I've been rereading the Kalevala and it strikes me that Kullervo really comes off as a male Fury...

Brigit's depictions also have a lot to do with modern ideas of idea womanhood being thin and pale.
