Istfg, I know it should've been obvious, but Lev's so guarded about what the trident represents yet he constantly says it's (partly?) power and lightning. Fuckin. reading last night a symbolism book for unrelated reasons... more so he was flicking through in my body bc he was ("talking to Agni about ritual stuff") and. It was like. "Oh yeah Shiva's trident is (partly) supposed to represent lightning". And this section was right next to Rudra talking about him bringing storms and shit, which yeah I knew already, but it's all under a heading about weather gods and spirits and stuff and I'm like. God our group isn't wrong and he's not lying lmfao. Shiva really is the placated ascetic meditative aspect of the Earth Shaker (Rudra) (and Rudra an aspect of Shiva)
#Which is soooo fucking funny bc Placated Rudra is giving me such vibes of his female half which. Of course. But she's hfgdfhd#LMFAO à song called Bhairava starts paying#Playing*. Anyway. I'd you haven't noticed probably not but as much as I work w Lev as Shiva I have difficulty tying that name#sequentially to other names. Like. It seem(ed) so absent of his weather and water and wild and war aspects - BUT NO LIKE. IT REALLY ISNT#It really fucking isn't at all. The fact that he was Rudra first and THEN Shiva because people call upon (his) auspicious aspect....#What (excerpt of a) book was I reading the other day where he plucks hair from his head and throws it to the ground in rage to create#a demon and then his people just. fucking. completely destroy shit. It's so. War. It's so raw and captures his aspects as a fuckin uh#what's his rank... Idk. Leader in war#What the fuck is his rank. Is it just king. English really doesn't... Have the words for what he is anyway huh#Anyway. It's so raw but also he sees his hair as an expression of his power and connection to the environment like yeah ofc it was his hair#ramblings //#It's like. God. I'm retracing my footsteps this life going back to him and hes just always been him lmfao
