I have recently returned to King of Sartar, and have realised that my
understanding of the term Godi has changed.
How do others define them? Is the term still appropritae for Sartarites?
I Originally saw them in terms of RQ Acolytes, then when HW arrived I
saw them as Devotees that preside over rituals so any devotee could
potentially be a Godi. Then I began to imagine Initiates with a lay
preacher role.
Norse Godi or Gothi seem to have presided over ritual but were not
always the most devoted just the most suited person for the job.
Now I am not sure at all. Words are pervasive, and the word devotee has
now slipped its way into my thoughts and kicked out others, so that when
I return to less rules orientated sources I cant help but see the world
through these artificial filters.
