Comments on first version of page

[edit source]
  • Try not to have section heads be super specific, like "The Spiritual Realm." How would you categorize what you have in that section? Could you turn it into a subsection under a heading like "Mythology"?
  • Some sections that are kept separate seem to go together...think about ways to organize the information you have here into fewer sections, using subsection headings
  • Under "Reasons for divination," are these ideas you got from a secondary source? These are really interesting ideas, and I think they are worth expanding upon!
  • Someone needs to write a bit about how the poetry factors in....giving quotations would be great, and talking about how the poems actually work, and how they were involved in the process of divination...
  • Anyone want to try their hand at finding an image or two to go with the discussion of how the divination works? See this page to get started...

Great start! -Joey Cross (discusscontribs) 14:50, 31 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

I added an extra section underneath the spiritual realm header, and was wondering if we should add different quotes into it as well and maybe link it to another text.

Faith, are you talking about quotes from this text or from different texts that relate to this one? Either one sounds like a good idea to me --H.G.Grotenhuis (discusscontribs) 15:25, 3 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Just wanted to let you guys know I moved some stuff around to make the page flow better and made the spiritual realm section a subsection of the Mythology section added, let me know what you think. --H.G.Grotenhuis (discusscontribs) 15:44, 3 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

we could do either quotes from the text itself and also other texts.
