The <strong>Odin</strong> <strong>Brotherhood</strong> 39<br />
AUTHOR: Learn? The gods can learn from men? But are not<br />
the gods all-knowing and all-wise?<br />
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: No god is all-knowing and<br />
all-wise.<br />
AUTHOR: Even the Christian god?<br />
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: Omnisciency is not possible.<br />
An omniscient god would suffocate in his own wisdom.<br />
AUTHOR: Let us return to the subject of godly visits. Tell me,<br />
if the gods visit our world often, why have I never seen one?<br />
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: In fact, you may have<br />
encountered gods or goddesses and not recognized them.<br />
AUTHOR: Explain.<br />
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: The gods do not need theatrics<br />
to impress mortals: they do not have to communicate through<br />
angelic thralls or burning bushes. Normally, their visits are far<br />
more discreet, and they can pass unnoticed in a crowd of<br />
humanity.<br />
AUTHOR: Can you provide examples?<br />
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: Yes. If, while enjoying the<br />
winter, you encounter a wise and mysterious stranger who has<br />
a hood drawn low over his face—that could be a god. If, while<br />
walking down a city street, you encounter a woman who is a<br />
visual work of art—that could be a goddess.<br />
AUTHOR: Does a given god or a goddess always appear in the<br />
same form?
