Employé avec une valeur d'adjectif qualificatif, le participe présent est nommé adjectif verbal. L'orthographe variant dans certains cas, il est important de les distinguer. Si par exemple le fait de mettre le mot au féminin ne “choque” pas, c'est qu'on se trouve en présence d'un adjectif:

l'intri[g]ante ancienne ministre...

donc

l'intrigant Fouché, ancien ministre de la Police de Napoléon

Being a fan of the Trojan Cycle, EPIC: The Musical and more in general greek mythology, as well as a zoology lover, I have noticed that many depictions of Athena portray her as a Barn owl (Tyto alba) (or just a generic owl with plumicorns) and not as a Little owl (Athene noctua).

I wonder if this is done because:

people like barn owls better (completely understandable);

the english language lacks imagination and all owls are called "[insert an adjectif/a combination of adjectives] owl" so that when you want to refer to a strigiform without going into details you just say "owl", erasing the difference between species and letting people interpret it as they want/can;

people think that the "little" in Little owl (Athene noctua) is not part of the name of the species but a subjective comment;

(this is about EPIC only) someone in the cast specifically said that Athena is a barn owl;

accuracy doesn't really matter, people just want to have fun (again, completely understandable).

By the way Tyto alba and Athene noctua are both european species that would be seen in Greece. Often, though, artist illustrate the American barn owl (Tyto furcata) or other species living in different continents/regions.

Feedback on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

The gods of Gaul: Introduction, or why it is so hard to find anything

As I announced, I open today a series of post covering what some can call the "Gaulish mythology": the gods and deities of Ancient Gaul. (Personal decision, I will try avoiding using the English adjective "Gaulish" because... I just do not like it. It sounds wrong. In French we have the adjectif "Gaulois" but "Gaulish"... sounds like ghoulish or garrish, no thank you. I'll use "of Gaul", much more poetic)

[EDIT: I have just found out one can use "Gallic" as a legitimate adjective in English and I am so happy because I much prefer this word to "Gaulish", so I'll be using Gallic from now on!]

If you are French, you are bound to have heard of them one way or another. Sure, we got the Greek and Roman gods coming from the South and covering up the land in temples and statues ; and sure we had some Germanic deities walking over the rivers and mountains from the North-East to leave holiday traditions and folk-beliefs... But the oldest gods of France, the true Antiquity of France, was Gaul. And then the Roman Gaul, and that's already where the problems start.

The mythology of Gaul is one of the various branches of the wide group known as Celtic mythology or Celtic gods. When it comes to Celtic deities, the most famous are those of the British Isles, due to being much more preserved (though heavily Christianized) - the gods of Ireland and the Welsh gods are typically the gods every know about when talking about Celtic deities. But there were Celts on the mainland, continental Celts - and Gaul was one of the most important group of continental Celts. So were their gods.

Then... why does nobody know anything about them?

This is what this introduction is about: how hard it actually is to reconstruct the religion of Gaul and understand its gods. Heck we can't ACTUALLY speak of a Gaulish mythology because... we have no myth! We have not preserved any full myth or complete legend from Ancient Gaul. The pantheon of Gaul is the Celtic pantheon we probably know the least about...

Why? A few reasons.

Reason number one, and the most important: We have no record of what the Gauls believed. Or almost none. Because the people of Gaul did not write their religion.

This is the biggest obstacle in the research for the gods of Gaul. It was known that the art of writing was, in the society of Gaul, an elite art that was not for the common folks and used only for very important occasions. The druids were the ones who knew how to read and write, and they kept this prerogative - it was something the upper-class (nobility, rulers) could know, but not always. Writing was considered something powerful, sacred and magical not to be used recklessly or carelessly. As a result, the culture of Gaul was a heavily oral one, and their religion and myths were preserved in an oral fashion. Resulting in a great lack of written sources comng directly from the Gallic tribes... We do have written and engraved fragments, but they are pieces of a puzzle we need to reconstruct. We have votive offerings with prayers and demands inscribed on it - and while they can give us the names of some deities, they don't explain much about them. We have sculptures and visual representations of the deities on pillars and cups and jewels and cauldrons - but they are just visuals and symbols without names. We have calendars - but again, these are just fragments. We have names and images, and we need to make sense out of it all.

To try to find the explanations behind these fragments, comparisons to other Celtic religions and mythologies are of course needed - since they are all branches of a same tree. The same way Germanic mythology can be understood by looking at the Norse one, the same way Etruscan, Greek and Roman mythologies answer each other, the mythology and religion of Gaul has echoes with the Celtic deities of the Isles (though staying quite different from each other). The other comparison needed to put things back into context is reason number 2...

Reason number two: The Romans were there.

Everybody knows that the death of Ancient Gaul was the Roman Empire. Every French student learns the date of Alesia, the battle that symbolized the Roman victory over the Gallic forces. Gaul was conquered by the Romans and became one of the most famous and important provinces of the Roman Empire: it was the Gallo-Roman era.

The Romans were FASCINATED by Gaul. Really. They couldn't stop writing about them, in either admiration or hate. As a result, since we lack direct Gallic sources, most of what we know about Ancient Gaul comes from the Romans. And you can guess why it is a problem. Some records of their religion were written in hatred - after all, they were the barbarian ennemies that Romans were fighting against and needed to dominate. As such, they contain several elements that can be put in doubt (notably numerous references to brutal and violent human sacrifices - real depictions of blood-cults, or exaggeratons and inventions to depict the gods of Gaul as demonic monstrosities?) But even the positive and admirative, or neutral, records are biased because Romans kept comparing the religion of the Gauls to their own, and using the names of Roman deities to designate the gods of Gaul...

Leading to the other big problem when studying the gods of Gaul: the Roman syncretism. The Gallo-Roman era saw a boom in the depictions and representations of the Gallic gods... But in their syncretized form, fused with and assimilated to the Roman gods. As such we have lots of representations and descriptions of the "Jupiter of Gaul", of the "Mercury of Gaul", of the "Gallic Mars" or "Gallic Minerva". But it is extremely hard to identify what was imported Roman elements, what was a pure Gallic element under a Roman name, and what was born of the fusion of Gallic and Roman traditions...

Finally, reason number three: Gaul itself had a very complicated approach to its own gods.

We know there are "pan-gallic" gods, as in gods that were respected and honored by ALL the people of Gaul, forming the cohesion of the nation. But... Gaul wasn't actually a nation. It was very much like the many city-states of Greece: Ancient Gaul was unified by common traditions, a common society, a common religion and a common language... But Gaul was a tribal area divided into tribes, clans and villages, each with their own variations on the laws, each with their own customs and each with their own spin on religion. As a result, while there are a handful of "great gods" common to all the communities of Gaul, there are hundreds and hundreds of local gods that only existed in a specific area or around a specific town ; and given there were also many local twists and spins on the "great gods", it becomes extremely hard to know which divine name is a local deity, a great-common god, a local variation on a deity, or just a common nickname shared by different deities... If you find a local god, it can be indeed a local, unique deity ; or it can be an alternate identity of a shared divine archetype ; or it can be a god we know elsewhere but that goes by a different name here.

To tell you how fragmented Gaul was: Gaul was never a unified nation with one king or ruler. The greatest and largest division you can make identifies three Gauls. Cisalpine Gaul, the Gaul located in Northern Italy, conquered by the Romans in the second century BCE, and thus known as "the Gaul in toga" for being the most Roman of the three. Then there was the "Gaul in breeches" (la Gaule en braies), which borders the Mediterranean sea, spanning between the Alps and the Pyrenean mountains, and which was conquered in the 117 BCE (becoming the province of Narbonne). And finally the "Hairy Gaul", which stayed an independant territory until Cesar conquered it. And the Hairy Gaul itself was divided into three great areas each very different from each other: the Aquitaine Gaul, located south of the Garonne ; the Celtic Gaul located between the Garonne and the Marne (became the Gaul of Lyon after the Roman conquest) ; and finally the Belgian Gaul, located between the Marne and the Rhine. And this all is the largest division you can make, not counting all the smaller clans and tribes in which each area was divided. And all offering just as many local gods or local facets of a god...

And if it wasn't hard enough: given all the sculptures and visuals depictions of the gods of Gaul are very "late" in the context of the history of Gaul... It seems that the gods of Gaul were originally "abstract" or at least not depicted in any concrete form, and that it was only in a late development, shortly before the Roman invasions, that people of Gaul decided to offer engravings and statues to their gods, alternating between humanoid and animal forms.

All of this put together explains why the gods of Gaul are so mysterious today.

Je trouve qu'il y a peu de choses plus épuisantes à entendre que les hommes et les femmes sont naturellement psychiquement différents. Non parce que biologiquement, on est d'accord mais ça pourrait même se discuter, on commence tous avec une zézette dans l'embryon hein et on a les mêmes hormones à des taux différents. Mais moi là je parle des gens qui pensent réellement que ce n'est pas des siècles d'éducation et de stéréotypes qui ont scindé les deux. Alors je parle d'homme, femme pour simplifier le propos évidemment, ya tout un spectre ne me faites pas penser ce que je ne pense pas. Je peux juste plus entendre que les hommes naissent naturellement moins empathiques, plus manipulateurs, moins sensibles, plus cartésiens blabla et les femmes prêtes à élever des gosses, hypersensibles, très émotives, plus douces etc etc. Je ne sais pas à quel moment on a réussi à faire croire qu'une personnalité, ou des adjectifs étaient vraiment genrés. Et plus je grandis plus je me dis qu'on a tout gâché à vouloir affilier chaque chose de l'existence soit à l'un, soit à l'autre. Et maintenant on vient chouiner de pas se correspondre alors qu'on a créé ces différences au mieux et qu'on les nourrit sans forcément s'en rendre compte au pire. Alors oui, comme beaucoup de choses sont une histoire d'éducation, il y a une notion d'effort pour s'élever et voir les choses sous un autre angle. Mais pour beaucoup, ils ne seront pas capables de fournir cet effort car le problème n'est pas visible. Et quand je dis ils, je parle plus des hommes mais j'englobe les femmes aussi. Non parce que quand j'entends des copines me dire que c'est normal que leur mec soit violent et infidèle car "ils sont comme ça on y peut rien", jme dis que certes elle est victime de quelque chose mais ya aussi un travail à faire. Et ça me navre qu'on crame tous une énergie monstrueuse dans des objectifs diamétralement opposés : certains pour prouver et faire changer les mentalités sur ça, d'autres pour renforcer cet écart qui est déjà vertigineux. On peut même plus l'enjamber, faut juste s'y accoutumer ou renoncer. Je sais pas, si en psycho on a pas de matière uniquement dédiée aux femmes et d'autres aux hommes, c'est peut-être pour la plus sensée des raisons: on nait pareil -mais on n'existe pas de la même manière-. Rien de plus frustrant

Those zines were printed in Montreal on a risograph printer in blue and orange and assembled by me :O

I wanted to print a riso zine for so long and checked that off my bucket list this year, it has such a charming texture and the bright but limited color palette is a really good challenge, also it looks punk af.

As it was my first time some stuff looks great and some less great, learned a lot from that. The best looking bits are the extra drawings that were all watercolor originally, opposed to the digital color ones. It makes me want to print a riso artbook just from my watercolor illustrations, collecting all the lil car drawings i made… pondering that idea…
