So far, of the confirmed goddess candidates, there are some name relations to divine figures in various cultures/religions: Nakagawa Kanon - Kannon, buddhist "goddess of mercy" Ayukawa Tenri - Tengri, mongolian god* * a bit of a stretch; so alternatively: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenrikyo Who are the other goddess candidates? Ayumi Chihiro Tsukiyo Shiori Yui Can we find any name relations for any of those? ________________ If you were to go there and come back to me hurt, I will take your place.. and pull everything you hate.. into destruction... I will erase anything that hurts you.. from the face of this world.

Tsuki does mean 'moon', but she isn't the moon goddess because Tenri is already the moon goddess. 'Diane' or 'Diana' is the Roman counterpart of 'Artemis' the greek goddess of the moon. Artemis is the younger sister of Apollo. And Apollo's name stays the same as his Roman counterpart.

Of the goddess candidates, many have names (THEIR names, the candidates' names, NOT the goddesses' names) that are related to divine figures in cultures around the world. It has nothing to do with the actual goddesses in TWGOK; which, although they share names with roman goddesses/gods and are obviously making a connection to those mythical figures, they are, in function, completely unique to the TWGOK universe - they are NOT the roman goddesses or gods themselves. In summary, the goddess VESSEL/CANDIDATE, not the goddess itself.

Nakagawa Kanon - Kannon, buddhist "goddess of mercy" Ayukawa Tenri - Tengri, mongolian god, or: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenrikyo Kujyō Tsukiyo - Tsukiyomi, moon god That's the point to this thread, no? Finding a name in humanity's vast mythology that corresponds to the name of the goddess candidates, confirmed and otherwise - trying to read into the author's intentions. ________________ If you were to go there and come back to me hurt, I will take your place.. and pull everything you hate.. into destruction...

So, so far the theory's holding up. ________________ If you were to go there and come back to me hurt, I will take your place.. and pull everything you hate.. into destruction...
