Dave TheDruid-3X3I am into Chapter 6 which is called ‘Powers Within – Gods of Love, War & Plastic’ and I have found that so far in this book, Bobcat uses a Word that I have never known of before. It is ‘Anthropomorphization’.
So did the Google and found it’s meaning:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropomorphism
“Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human traits, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities. It is considered to be an innate tendency of human psychology. Personification is the related attribution of human form and characteristics to abstract concepts such as nations, emotions, and natural forces, such as seasons and weather. Both have ancient roots as storytelling and artistic devices, and most cultures have traditional fables with anthropomorphized animals as characters. People have also routinely attributed human emotions and behavioral traits to wild as well as domesticated animals.”
Ok – So a lot of Children’s Fairy Tales such as the Story of Peter Rabbit or various Characters from Alice in Wonderland is Anthropolmorphiztic.
She states that the Gods tend to be Anthropolmorphizized depicting Humanoid Entities with Super Human Abilities or Animals which are depicted with Human Behavior Traits. Bobcat states that the correct form of Deity is Fields of Energy that Create Life & Form on our Planet and I tend to agree with that.
Now on to reading Chapter #7.
