But this is my point:- if the god calls to the worshipper, how come the message got interpreted as an animist call? Bad cosmic phone line? Hasn't anyone, in all the time Serdrosa has been worshipped, noticed that she's a goddess, not a spirit? Now, if it's a matter of the worshippers seeking her out without guidance, they might get a bit lost (lost in the wrong Otherworld is still stretching it a bit though). I just can't see how mass misapplied worship (and despite the small numbers of Serdrosan worshippers, they are following a well-trodden path by now) gets started, or how it can continue without someone figuring how to do it better, and theistically.
