Salutations, penitent ones!
If you are not familiar with the word 'numina' look no further than this blog post. It is the pleural of the Latin word 'numen' which means 'presence' or to have the presence of a god or spirit. We can say that which is 'numinous' is that which we can not easily explain with ordinary common sense or scientific conjecture.
This department of
SirRobyn.com will be filled to the brim with gods, goddesses, legendary heroes, myths, monsters and the practitioners and clergy who bid that we honor and obey these unseen works of the imagination. Prepare to forgive me my brothers and sisters for what is mythology to me may be religion to others and what is merely opinion to me... well for others may be no less than heresy.
There will be room on
SirRobyn.com for all manner of opinion, however, and not just my own. As it was a thousand years ago, it is difficult in these times to invoke such names as Jesus or Mohammad without fear of fatwas, death threats or other perilous rebukes. Luckily we can not be pursued by our governments (most governments at least) for our beliefs... or lack thereof.
This site will have room for opposing points of view rather than articles that express only one empirical explanation of a person or idea. Where a follower of the Catholic faith may point to a person as a saint, a protestant might cast that same individual as a scoundrel, whilst the philosopher, from a third point of view, might view that person as a fellow thinker. Putting these views together in one place will encourage debate, thought, and with enough thought, understanding. This is my lofty goal.
May the gods be with you,
Sir Robyn
