Note that this is a completely "non-Greg" interpretation; the Great Greg (*genuflexion*, in deferrence to Aesc) has said fairly directly that O. "Adventurous" is not open to women, but that Vinga is a fairly direct counterpart.
I don't want to heap disapprobrium on anyone for deviating from the One True Glorantha, or any such nonsense, but the above sounded like an assertion to me, rather than an IMO/IMG/IMC.

Or a shortly-to-be-Gregged issue, perhaps.

This is evidence of female initiates of a _Thunder_ god in areas which are _culturally_ (and not just nominally) Orlanthi?

What the storm peoples would have called them is neither here or there; you've effectively just conceded the point you were (notionally) arguing against about _Pelorian_ understanding of chaos.
