Loki Laufeyson Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 That thing with the sun is quite interesting, since in Aztec mythology there is more than one sun, the death and birth of each marking a new age. And the myth of the Moon's creation is tied to the sun thing. Like, by the time of the 5th sun, there were like 2 candidates chosen to go through the ritual to become the sun, Tecucciztecatl and Nanahuatzin, but the former chickened out at the last second. So the latter went through the process and became the 5th sun, but Tecucciztecatl decided to go through it anyway. But since there were not suppose to be 2 suns at the same time, so the other gods... I kid you not... threw a rabbit at Tecucciztecatl, dimming somewhat his light... and thus, we have Metztli, the Moon; and her rabbit. lol Yeah i did read about that. And isnt that what that one ball game was kinda based on? Like the game that determined the sacrifices.... every rabbit is a good rabbit more rabbit better rabbit i do like throwing small plush rabbits at friends since the ones i have make really good projectiles so there's that :B Yeah something about pounding mochi Yeah theres the little bun who pounds mochi with a large pestle and he swings it over his head. #thingsOkamitoughtme DIDST THOU NOT KNOW?! RABBITS POUNDETH MOCHI ON THE MOON WHEN 'TIS FULL! loooool Norse is one of the odd ones out where there is no moon rabbit. To be fair, i could never see the bun in the moon like most people. Máni is a dude and sister to Sól (or Sunne/Sunni/whatever people choose to spell her name). Some cultures have a "man in the moon" and i guess hes one of those personifications. Hati (one of Fenris' sons) chases him across the sky. (Skoll chases Sunne) Moon Bun makes best mochi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Yeah i did read about that. And isnt that what that one ball game was kinda based on? Like the game that determined the sacrifices.... Yes, sacrifice to the gods was one of the actions after the ball game. Sacrifice... to the victors. Yes, the winners were the ones sacrificed to the gods, precisely because they won, so their blood is worth to be tribute to the gods, or something like that was their logic.

I could give some of the steak to you if you want I assume you don't want the rabbit food though that's for rabbits also I like pants also iirc Thor didn't ask for human sacrifice which I'm super glad for Edited May 28, 2014 by Thor Odinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Yeah. Its at times like that, id rather lose the game. I'm pretty sure you still died if you loose, except that, not as a sacrifice, just a plain old dead. Not that it'd matter much since those ballgames that ended in dead were mostly played by captives and the like. Their chance of "redemption" I suppose. Besides, sacrifices in ballgames was actually not a norm. It did happened in some cultures across what is now eastern México, but in many other places, like with the Aztecs, the game was merely a sport for fun, and bets. Although they did had matches for religious and ceremonial purposes. Edited May 28, 2014 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to not join in because it'd cause me too much headache and I have a 50 frame animation to do by august but it is quite anger inducing yes I could turn into the hulk I hate the argument "okay yeah we realise misogyny's the problem now what are you going to do to solve it" bitch as if we haven't been doing that for the past few centuries change doesn't happen overnight but it also doesn't happen by sitting on our ass and not doing anything to the status quo Nah, he was protector of Midgard.

Its gotten pretty stupid and ignores the issue. Im staying out of there for now cuz im about to go nuclear. Also yes he did. I also believe Freyja liked pretty things for offerings (as well as bountiful animals). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
