| The AF and the Greek Gods | |||
| To find a way of both illlustrating the nature of the various AF combinations and making them more accessible to human concerns, I have tried calling on them in conjunction with the major Greek gods to see which fit well together. My choice of the Greek gods is the result of my own inclinations and the way certain things have worked out. Others may wish to attempt similar things with other pantheons. It is worth noting that simplistic parallels like Zeus=Odin are unlikely to fit with the below since the AF combinations fit with specific forms of the gods that do not necessarily reflect the gods' chief attributes. Any of the gods may be used with any of the combinations, but the following are the combinations I was told fit best: | |||
