Which is to say those things are both equally "Vinga Heroquesting", in that you're following and enacting the same myth; but they're not equally _being Vinga_, in the sense of self-identity with that deity. The former will have the character of "me acting like Vinga"; the latter will be more akin to "Vinga, c'est moi".
