the gods and archetype

1) the gods exist across several different modes that make up their totality

2) they are not all the same kind of creature

3) they cannot be killed by man

4) deity is relational, they exert themselves upon the human

some of them have an archetypal aspect

it's not the totality of any of them though

and i wonder how much of it is the post-hoc affixation of an archetype after the fact

the archetypal as a taming

the archetypal as management
