No, I agreed somewhat with that, even if it didn't come through in the
rather muddled post I wrote while obviously being too tired to compose
my thoughts coherently.
These arguments make sense, but they are not necessarily true in _my_
Glorantha. For example, I like the thought that the shamans have
learned their art from the first shaman, the Horned Man or whatever he
is called in a specific culture. He's a mythical being from the
Philosophical Age and he has handed down pretty much shamanism as it
is today. Or perhaps rather: as "powerful" as today. The intervening
years have of course caused cultural diversity.
