When Myths Collide: The Architecture of Belief in Where Ravens Wait

Across centuries, belief systems have clashed like storms over the same mountain.

But beneath the thunder and scripture, the mountain remains the same.

In the mythos of Where Ravens Wait, faith is not divided, it’s layered.

The Norse gods still walk among us, though their names have changed. Angels descend not from heaven but from memory, and the Devil himself is less a villain than a keeper of the broken, watching over the souls too heavy with guilt to rise.

Here, the main character draws not only from the gods of his ancestors, but from the misunderstood archetypes buried within Judeo-Christian myth. Lucifer becomes the Light-Bringer again, no longer a symbol of defiance against God, but of illumination, the courage to question, to fall, and to rise again.

Odin’s ravens whisper across the same sky once ruled by seraphim.

The wolves of the sagas share blood with the angels of old.

This merging of pantheons isn’t about erasing belief, it’s about revealing their shared root.

Every myth, from Valhalla to Eden, is a reflection of our hunger to understand why we suffer and why we endure. They are parallel stories of rebellion, redemption, and return.

The world I’m building allows the sacred and the profane to coexist. The man who walks through it carries the blood of warriors and angels alike. His wolves, White and Dark, are mirrors of that duality: instinct and intellect, chaos and compassion. Together, they guide him toward remembrance, of who he was before the fall, and who he must become to ascend again.

Because the truth of the world, and of the soul, is this:

There are no separate heavens. Only one tapestry, stitched from belief, memory, and myth.

The blood remembers, and so do the gods.
