Personaly speaking I find the whole Vinga thing to be so poor as to be unusable.

If a female wants to worship (or is called to do so) a God with the aspects of Orlanth , whatever aspect, she does just that!

I just cant see a female not calling on a God just because their male. I'm sure that Norse Women called apon Odin or Thor when they felt the need just as a male Greek might have called apon Athena. The idea of having male gods for men and female goddesses for women ........is just a little odd in my opinion.

If she wants a a warrior God then there's Humankt.

If (as seems likely) a more female side is needed there's the female and terrifying Gor duo.

The whole Vinga thing strikes me as a cop out, I dont like it and I dont use it!
