Talk:Sky father
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
C'mon you people, whats wrong with this page?
- Well, mainly it has no context at all. It looks like you are talking about mythology, but which one? If its a general theory then examples need giving, etc. Morwen 14:50, 28 Oct 2003 (UTC)
This page is like a hairball. It should start with a clear statement of who "Sky Father" is supposed to be and where the concept exists. History section: Move out everything not in the history of the Sky Father ideology set it aside for later. Just treat the development of the idea quoting Engels, Frazer etc. Give it some 19th century context. Next section: Reaction. From whom. New information. Next section: what remains true about nomadic sky gods, in the area covered. For this Jane Ellen Harrison's Prolegomena to the Study of Greek religion would help. Statements like A sky father also relates to a solar deity, a god identified with the sun. don't help -- is the Sky Father "related to" the rain god and the storm god of the mountains? Next section: Neo-pagan. General modern blur of just everything. This is the onlyt6 section for which one doesn't need history etc.. Too difficult. Can't help...Wetman 22:22, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)
