you don't have to!

It's the White Goddess you're referring to, though, eh?

So you think that the earliest spirits of place weren't symbolised in human form? How were they symbolised then? Because our whole thought process relies on symbols, doesn't it? Is it possible to think about something without giving it a symbolic token? Perhaps it is possible to think of these things in an abstract way, though I know I can't. Or are you talking about the "feeling" of a place?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, FW. I thought the implication of what you were saying here was that gods "grew out of people personifying experience/place" (ie. that what were originally "mere" personifications eventually grew to the stature of deities), though it now seems you're saying that they don't become gods until they are personified.
