Ok seeing as I'm Apollo, god of prophecy among other things, I decided to start this thread up. It's sort of like an advice thing, where you ask a question and I give you a prophecy that will give you a hint in the right direction. I'll be using a method of fortune telling to get results similar to the whole prophecy thing, but this is mostly for fun.

Well Apollo, there is one thing I would like cleared up once and for all. I know, I know, in that case I shouldn't be going to an oracle with my question xd

Buuut, I figure an oracle is my only option. So there are some schools of thought that say Anubis is my son, and there are others that say Anubis is Osiris' son by my wife (and they try and back this up by saying it's because I'm sterile or homosexual or whatever else excuse they think up scream ).

Now I'm pretty sure that Anubis worship pre-dates Osiris worship by at least a hundred years... heck, so does Set worship. But that's a moot point. One thing is clear: Osiris did mess around with my woman. So I just wanna know: who is Anubis' daddy?

Encryptions and facades, code and anagrams. There are many ways to say one thing, I do believe in prophesies, but none that are taken from a fortune cookie. And please, don't keep your 'prophesies' generalized. They're less authentic if you do it that way.

Besides, a 'prophecy' is more than just a one-line fortune. A prophecy is the fortelling of the future, in detail. Nostradamus and Tieresias were more than men with a vision of the future, their prophecies were an accurate truth that goes in great detail.

Now with that said, how does "Death is only the beginning...new life comes from death" show to be an accurate fortelling of "who is Anubis' daddy"? (which should be a question asked to Lugh in the Ask Lugh thread where I answer any question, mythically or personally based to the best of my knowledge.)

I agree with Gothic Romantic completely. (Damn he's smart. Note: steal his brain) Anywho I thought prophecy was something that happens in the future. And Tyr is asking something that happened in the past, so technicly it'd be impossible to give a prophecy about something WAY back then. (Unless Einstein's theories were correct)

Aww, but I already knew the answer. I didn't need Lugh to go research it for me or anything. This was mostly for fun. Worship of both Anubis and Set is extremely old, and predates Osiris worship by a good many years. Basically, pre-Osiris-cult times, Anubis is attributed to being Set's son. Later on, after Set was vilified and portrayed as sterile, the Osiris cult attributed Anubis to being Osiris' son. So no matter which one you say is the father, you'd be correct, so long as you cited which myths and from which era you were basing it off of.

And besides, based on Lugh's answer to my last question I posted there, I'm guessing he subscribes to the newer Osiris-cult beliefs and myths, but I really don't like those ones (but each to his own). I'm guessing that if I had posted the question there, I would have been told that Osiris was the father. The Set cult was outlawed due to increasing xenophobia, after the Hyksos chose Set as their favoured god (even though Set was an Egyptian god through-and-through). But I feel that if both Anubis and Set pre-date Osiris, well it just doesn't seem possible for Osiris to be Anubis' father biggrin

O.o We're off-topic? *reads* No. We're still talking about how much fortune telling isn't very accurate unless it's done right. XD

If you wanted a clear answer you should have tracked down my sisters, stolen the tooth or the eye and bribed them to get your information. Although... we aren't always clear either, and we really don't like when people steal our eye, once it was tossed into a lake! it took years to find it again! Now that I think about it, don't ask us.
