Hindu Deities I am sure you all have heard that common idea that the Hindus had millions of Deities and that they were all aspects of the one main Deity... Not true, that belief was a misinterpretation of the system that the Hindu Pantheon and it's break off's followed and some currently still follow.
Let's get onto it... First I need to explain that there were 12 original deities in the pantheon, all of them were either "outcasts" from previous pantheons or deities that decided to band together, three of them were the elders or the ones that had begun to form the pantheon in the first place...
Under each of these 12, or council members, you can see the aspects of "one god" belief in play and why exactly it was misinterpreted so horribly... These 12 have "staves" that is a manifestation of their energy and symbolizes their position in the pantheon, these are the "Parent staves" and are generally a marker of being a council member... (The Council)
The Deities below the council members all had "child staffs" which symbolized them either being regular beings who were adopted by a council member into a titled god position, or being the literal children of those deities.
Keep in mind this was the manner that you would be recruited into the pantheon... Or was in the original Hindu pantheon, there are many break offs that may or may not function differently in this day and age.
The council members were the only ones that could form direct child staffs and recruit them into the pantheon, the child staffs would alter the person's energy system to have a watered down version of the energy the council member that recruited them has.... Watered down due to adapting to the system of the person that was recruited... Of course it works a bit differently in the children of the deities or council members...
In some break offs any children from anyone in the pantheon would be considered a member of the pantheon, while in some others only the ones from the council members would be immediately a member of the pantheon. Keep in mind due to the amount of deities there can be some break off's have made laws to avoid unregulated creation of "children" in any manner, to keep the numbers of the pantheon semi-controlled depending on the needs of the pantheon. |
