(urth) symbols twisted

[Son of Witz]

Good stuff.

I think this stuff is ALL double-edged swords.

"The son of witz is most interested in the religious resonance of New Sun"


I suppose I should clarify that I'm interested in the mystic transcendent significance, rather than the 'religious'.  I'm actually pretty dense about religious symbols. Most of this Catholic stuff whizzes right past me; baptismal symbols case in point. I'm sure there is a ton of catholic symbolism that I'm completely blind to, not being a catholic myself.  (well, how does that work anyway, I was baptised Catholic, but I've never gone to church and have serious fundamental disagreements with the Catholic church. but if I've never officially left, does that make me still Catholic? dunnoh.)

that being said, once you point it out, it makes perfect sense, and that's why I'm here reading and trying to share ideas about these brilliant books.

thanks.
