Need ideas for Kitsune Society lore.

Postby Canuckster » Sat Apr 18, 2015 7:13 pm

not quite sure I understand how youre going to write teachings that way.
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.

The first thing you should do is learn how to knife-fight gypsy style.

Canuckster is being grumpy, don't mind him, Blackie Chan pissed him off with the big-nosed dutchgirl.

He does have a point though, first you need unity. That's where the gypsy knife fighting comes in.

You're asking for lore for your society from people who have no experience with the spiritual aspect of your society and message. This makes no sense.

Sorry, I didn't know!

Another idea is to write the words I sense when channeling the Kitsune, though they are often very cryptic and reference things or places I've never heard of, making context rather ambiguous. It's a great source of things to write, though I'm hesitant to post them out of fear of mockery.

I will paraphrase more stories, because writing them down word for word is exhausting

here is another I thought might be relevant:


Khidr (apparently a teacher of Moses), had been told by God that God was about to change the nature of the waters on earth. God told him he would dry up all the water, and when it came again it would be much different and would make men and women see and think differently about everything.

God instructed Khidr to collect some of the current water, and to save it preciously as it would be the last.

Khidr collected some water, and indeed, the drought came. After that the rains followed, and indeed everyone began acting, speaking, and thinking very strangely!

Khidr refused this new water, and drank only from what he had collected before the change as per God's instruction. As a result, he did not think the new way as the other people did, and was seen to be quite crazy. As time went on Khidr appeared crazier and crazier to the people, so far removed from this new way of thinking.

Eventually, Khidr was running out of the saved water, and allowed himself to taste some of the new water. Soon he fogot al about the old ways of thinking and drank the new water freely, and appeared to all as a crazy man who has come back to sanity.
