In re: last post about those two women getting married (or equivalent) in Northern Ireland, for anyone who might be following http://www.goroadachi.com/etemenanki/#thoughts:
I'm kind of amused that the name of one of the women is Grainne, which I understand to be related to the word grian, the Sun (a feminine noun). I don't know if this couple considers one of themselves to be more masculine and the other more feminine, or if they are both equally either or in fact something else entirely in terms of their gender identification, but I'm amused at the possible "Sun King" connection/reference. And also the idea that the "second coming" of the "Christ" type being is supposed to emerge as female instead of male. Oh, also, her surname is Close. As a regular word this can mean "nearby", or "confining, small" ("close quarters"), or "guarded, secluded, hidden". That of the other woman is Sickles, you know, like the tool used to reap grain (not the wizard money, lol). Hmmm...
(not that I'm suggesting any kind of direct connections - these things are just what their names happened to bring to my mind.)
