haptalaonPretty much the first, the only, the most important page on the Fencraft site will be the one about the Landweird itself; and you just know it's going to be the last one I finish...
...I think it helps, in part, that the Landweird is not a clear "deity" with like, myths or characteristics. It is at the heart of everything we do, and so perhaps this is right, that through all I write I am evoking the sense of wordless presence in the land, the sense of something forgotten but there. Like, maybe it's OK. At the same time, it does feel weird for the page on your central Divine Concept Of What We Revere to be the last one

Date: 2 June 2020 20:05 (UTC)It seems to me that it’s difficult to pin down the spirit/god/entity/weird/other when the never-ending journey is trying to understand it in the first place.
One of the things I like about Fencraft is the emphasis on mystery, fragments, shadows, and not necessarily knowing everything about something as more reconstructionist paths aim for.
So perhaps it is not about defining what the Landweird is, but the emphasis on seeking its voice and catching glimpses of what it could be.
So it’s not exactly a case of “the deity that we revere” (or even understand) but “this is the voice we are seeking to hear.”
