I'm a long term Gloranthaphile but I also find this a bit hard. I'm planning on starting a group soon an have decided to have th PC's start as teenagers after initiation into Orlanth/Ernalda but before they have to choose which aspect to join / join other cults - I'll give them the basic Culture/Profession Keywords and tell them they are allowed another 10 skills which they can chose as and when they need them and throw them straight into a simple adventure like "Sheepless Nights" (on the HW web site).
I thus hope to introduce the rules and the world around them slowly during play - I can explain aspects of Glorantha and Heortling culture as the young heroes encounter them . By the time the heroes need to chose an aspect/cult frex, they will have a much clearer idea of what is going on..
Hope this helps,
Dougie.
