Oh look, it's summer. I wonder if we'll have some more fires here.
Who's the deity in charge of those?
Does this position belong to anyone? If not, is there an application process? I would like to apply.
My qualifications and experience are as follows:
Once, when I was like, eight or nine, me and a friend built a bonfire in my house's fireplace, in order to throw this stuff on it to make the flames change colors.
I have a tendency to flare up in rage over small shit, and then quickly burn down, much like fire.
Big goddamn sexy boots.

Yes, also those boots do indeed qualify you for goddess of fire.
Yes you qualify. Just plz to keep the fires away from where I keep my horse, kthx! Evacuation DONOTWANT!! Esp since it's a gorgeous facility, and I quite enjoy the tree lined gallop track to not be...smoldering. :x

As the self-proclaimed Goddess of any weather that involves sirens and red flags, you're free to take fire.

Excellent. :) :D :mrgreen: :evil: :magick: :evil: :mrgreen: :D :)
I was gonna say that I'm probably technically in charge of fire around here, but honestly I probably get enough of it.
I am, however, ready to relinquish my title as goddess of bad decision-making.
I'm the god of doorways. I know it hasn't been formally declared here before but it's a title I've held since college.
Definitely has nothing to do with fire however, although doorways do sometimes burn down.
Since I have probably said it more than anyone else I am the God of "Oh Shit"
Accidental laceration, improvisation, unblinking stares
Well, if we're DECLARING what we're deities of, I'm also the goddess of BENDZ YUOR SPACE/TIME HORNY.

Vengeful spouse? :? Hestia never married. Actually she's kind of boring, compared to the other goddesses, and that whole "virgin" thing is a real bummer, but I'm willing to overlook those aspects and make up my own myths.

Cornholing Hera would be fun, but the sort of fun you'd really really pay for later.
Bit on the Grudgy side, Hera. When someone wants revenge on Nemesis, they send Hera. Even Zeus generally disguises himself as some sort of animal when he wants a bit of "Strange".
But I suppose it serves him right for marrying his Sister.
Utah is Aput's turf.

I think Pele rules the volcanoes here on the West Coast. I don't think there is a Salish word for volcano.
Terry Pratchett had a pretty good one with Bilius, the Oh God of Hangovers.
A lot of the place names here (In SW England) are associated with Celtic/PreCeltic local Deities, and in many cases, that's all that's left of them. I'll dig some up, and post them.
There's Sil, Milke, Melke, Tan, Sulis, Cram, Crom, Cerne, Nuada, lots of derivations of Bel, Bran, Bron, Woden, places named for Pan, references to Erle, Elves, Weland, Bridey, Shea/Sidhe, Lugh, you can't move around here without some pre-historic Deity jumping out of a well, or a Long Barrow. The Romans rounded a lot of them up, and turned them into Saints, but couldn't catch them all. Now they only manage to get out for Harvest Festivals, or Beating the Bounds, and even then, hardly anyone recognises them.

So Freeky, since you've decided to take over fire. You better do something about the Quebec fires, because my asthma was so bad yesterday I couldn't go outside. Thanks.
Deities in charge of something have never been too keen on scalling it back. Freeky, in this case, may jsut knock the heels of her firey boots together three times and ignite half of Maine for kicks.
I'm hoping the rain today knocks that shit out of the air though. I wasn't able to breahte deep either. Colling down / having a beer helped a lot.

wait, there's a deity called Cram?
how did I not know this??
Yeah, I think it's a derivative of "Crom", some old Celtic underworld Death Demigod.

I'll need request form GUF-23F "Please Don't Set Me On Fire" filled out in triplicate with a map clearly labeled on which half you would prefer to go up in flames, and which half you wouldn't. Please allow 10-14 business days for filing. No guarantees are assured. Thank you for your cooperation.
