We think the gods are dead. Some of us think they never existed.
But see, the gods are us.
Zeus frolicking from lover to lover, knowing a faithful wife waits for him at home.
Veles stealing Perun's wife and children, changing the seasons with their violent altercations.
The beautiful Mórrígan enticing men into fighting wars over her.
Shiva, destroying his world, in hopes that one day it will be re-birthed.
Loki, yearning love from his only family, but never being enough.
The gods never died. They never existed. The gods are us.
They always were.
