Wow it's like learning a whole different language. Love the photo to :) Thanks for sharing this :)
ReplyDeleteI learned a lot here. Wish I had thought of this!
ReplyDeletei remember tiamat from the dungeons and dragons cartoon..smiles.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of most of these,but I did enjoy reading the list.
ReplyDeleteThis was constructive, educational. Knew some of them, but happy to now know the rest too :)
ReplyDeleteLovely photo and I love that you took the time to type this :)
Thom: Several languages.
ReplyDeleteSusan: I love names and their meanings, especially archaic ones.
Brian Miller: Yes, but my Tiamat is a Goddess of creation not one solely of destruction, although they often come as one being.
Melissa Mashburn: Most are from mythology.
Estrella05azul: I live to teach ;)
Something about that wild collection of gods/goddesses portrayed by toys made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeletevery intersting
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a TT! They all look so cute....I love that you included the Re'im! Strength is a good thing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful list!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thursday!

Oh, I love reading about these mythological wonders. Excellent post.
ReplyDeleteSecret Agent Woman: The old Gods are rarely taken seriously any more.
ReplyDeleteShopannies: Well, maybe somewhat.
Trace: Strength is very important. i might not get out of bed each day without it.
I am Harriet: be by to visit soon.
Anthonynorth: They are so crazy fun.
great list!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help but wonder how long and how hard it was for you to come up with this list. Did you make it from the top of your head?
ReplyDeleteIt was enjoyable reading and unlike Susan, I didn't learn much. I did learn that here was more that I didn't know and couldn't know. Just know of now.
..
That's one thing I really love about T-13s. I'm always learning something new!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I've bookmarked this. What a plethora of inspiration for a writer. Happy T13!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent Crew..full of magic and power..how fun! terrific post!
ReplyDeleteKiki~
I think I must live a very sheltered life.
ReplyDeleteMy son's name is Dylan. I knew if was Welch for "from the water." Named him after the two poets.
What a powerful altar you created with a wonderful array of god and goddesses.
ReplyDeleteJehar: Thank-you.
ReplyDeleteJim: I love to be able to say my memory and my knowledge is that good but I'd be lying which i'm not adverse to doing but not this time. Some I knew, but i did look most of them up at some point.
Irishcoda: They are good for that.
Adelle Laudan: I'll send you the website I use for names. It's a wonderful to waste time instead of writing.
Kiki: I love's magic.
Colleen: You are absolutely right. Dylan was associated with the sea. And I hope we all know the poets.
Rondan Laveen: I'll do the magic objects sometime in the future.
ReplyDeleteJust finished reading Joseph Campbell's gigantic 4 volume series on mythology so it's great to be able to put names to faces! Tiamat's my favourite --- very old school
ReplyDeleteSomething different and original for a T-13! Yippie!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo and all the great info! My 2nd son's name is Dylan, so it was especially neat to read that!
ReplyDeleteAnd i swear, chocolate and avocados really can go together and taste good!
What does Audo look like?
ReplyDeleteMasterymistery: I would love to read all of Campbell. I've only managed bits and pieces of him. Tiamat is my favorite too. I'mm trying to think of a way to do a twitter story with her as the main character.
ReplyDeleteMoorebloglife: I'm glad you enjoyed.
Julia: Dylan is a great name. I think I'm going to try your recipe this weekend just to see.
Alice: Audo is the mutlicolored shiny frog. Frogs are extremely good luck.
I like #7 - the light and the dark. Seeing them in the photo, I just can't believe it. They're so cute!
ReplyDeleteAwesome post, Nessa!
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative and always a prolific writer!
hugs
shakira
Shelley: They light up inside when you wiggle them.
ReplyDeleteShakira: Thank-you so much!
Well, I'm a happy guy, and I AM partial to that girl-in-pink, Euterpe..the muse of joy!
ReplyDeleteNessa, you are truly an imaginative artist, a creator, of beauty sometimes in a funky style. LOVE it!
