sannion is looking for music relevant to Greco-Roman/Egyptian deities. Some of you can surely help him out. I personally want to see what people come up with. I feel like I should have answers, but I am so immersed in Nordic music lately that seems unlikely. Also, I'd be very curious to see if anyone comes up with anything Anubis-related that isn't a crappy goth tune (not that I object to crappy goth tunes, quite the contrary, but I'm familiar enough not to be curious).

Quasi-randomly, this prompts me to ask, what deity-type statues or things do you all have in your houses. It occurs to me that Patty and I have a Ganesha, an Anubis (these first two are both mine, and I realize, in a weird, inappropriate math way that Ganesh + Anubis sort of equals Hermes, who I've had an affinity for since I was really small), and (I think) at least two Buddhas (one is hers, and one is my Mizuko Jizo).

...odd. We appear to be in the "no representations of deities" camp. Despite having a half-dozen or so apiece. There's some foxes and coyotes, some more totemish than others; a few bits of jewelry (Kai wears constantly a Hermes-and-pentacle thingie) and other weird things (why yes, I do have deity-appropriate lingerie, thanks to fabric paint), and implements of faith on our altars, but nothing that anyone with any background in the subject could look at and say "That is the representation of a deity."

Which is kind of odd now that I think about it. I suspect it is our dislike of bibelots and my own tendency towards not so many visual representations of things like that which combine to form a deity-picture-free household.

Then again, my primary faith tends to deify things like big trees and be kind of vague on what a kami looks like.
