Talk:The Age of Ra

I can't resist...

(did a little copy editing)

Scene: Ra Revivalist youth group, glee club:

Ra is the sun god
Ra is the fun god
Rah! Rah! Rah!

Hehe. Thats amusing.

Also, I checked Set, which as you probably know is a disambiguation. So I added Set (god) to the disambig page, hidden behind In egyptian mythology. I don't object to using deity either, but we should set the standard now before some mythology-nut registers and starts creating fifty gazillion articles. It'd be good to have some rules on that before it becomes an issue. Drew R. Smith 09:31, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Didn't Samuel Delany make his name with a novel about Egyptian gods many years ago? I think it won a couple of prizes -- I read it a long time ago and wasn't blown away by it.... Hayford Peirce 17:30, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

There's a Temple of Set revivalist movement, a spinoff of modern Satanism. Howard C. Berkowitz 17:34, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

As far as disambiguation, the general rule that I use is to disambiguate with the workgroup name as first choice. I'm not sure that Set (religion) would be unambiguous, though. Howard C. Berkowitz 17:36, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

It was Roger Zelazny's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatures_of_Light_and_Darkness -- he and Delany came along at the same time, wrote about a lot of the same themes, and I've always been confused between the two of them.... Hayford Peirce 17:51, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
