tinhuvielI've been thinking a lot about them and how long they've been in my life. I remember drawing them in reptilian form, the first ones Intent and Plasia, in 1982, then later forming the rudimentary skeleton of the faith of Saint Rhyll and lost city of Rhylla on the far planet of Iyinskii.
It wasn't until 1986, upon hearing a Henry Mancini song, that the Tarmi came to me, and it occurred to me that they, too, were from the seed of the Rhyllan folk. Two branches of Beings from a single origin. In my constant doodlings of those days, I fashioned a symbol (which I'll post here soon, hopefully) and the word deaghydhe* came to me. This was the mother race, the star people.
I'm thinking seriously of committing what I have written about them and the individual characters borne out of their races here. It amazes me how I have so much history and myth for these people that I've never actually written down. It's like they exist in a realm that defies the written word, or perhaps it's just that I am not a good enough writer to appropriately manifest them with words.
I do know that they incorporate a huge part of my personal myth and that I can't help but believe that beings like these once existed and may still exist in some form or other, maybe not in my conception of them, but they have to exist. Too many others have been touched by them. I see them in the Sithi of Tad Williams, the Greys as described by many contactees (my Thranodiena), Tolkien's Elves,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
piperdawn's Changers & Makers, and I could go on.
These beings are real and they are telling us something.
The Tarmi became the teachers of humans once humanity was born to Meneterah. I believe they are still teaching us. I believe that Meybhelahn/Avalon is there for us to reach if we can only reconnect. I can almost hear them weeping for us in my head but, unlike me, they never lose hope for us. Their bloodlines still sing in us and urge us to be better than what we are and are becoming.
