An Archer God

(The image shows the Marvel Comics Uller.)

The Change Series by SM Stirling.

Given the importance of archery post-Change, maybe the Wiccans need an archer god? Or they might deify their own Aylward the Archer who is also an expert bowyer although he denies that this is a master-craftsman's trade.

Names recall ancestral trades. In our local Telephone Directory, I have found:

23 Archers;
48 Bakers;
4 Bowyers;
17 Butchers;
9 Carpenters;
1 Cordiner;
8 Drivers;
6 Falconers;
5 Farmers;
uncountable Coopers, Fletchers, Masons, Millers, Palmers, Shepherds, Smiths, Taylors and Wrights;
20 Glovers;
Gardeners with different spellings;
1 Goldsmith;
1 Millner;
5 Painters;
5 Pipers;
1 Rimmer;
5 Sawyers;
1 Singer;
4 Wainwrights;
12 Wheelers;
1 Wrightson.

And there is a local Baker the Butcher.

Retellings

Imaginative authors create new stories and retell old stories. Poul Anderson retold Norse sagas and the legend of Ys. He mentioned the archer god, Uller, although none of that god's stories survive. New stories can be imagined but the lost originals cannot be retold.

Neil Gaiman suggests in the Introduction to his Norse Mythology that the fullest appreciation of myths comes neither from hearing nor from reading them but from making them your own and retelling them. Thus, the myths live:

"...tell your friends what happened when Thor's hammer was stolen, or of how Odin obtained the mead of poetry for the gods...
"Neil Gaiman
"Lisson Grove, London,
"May 2016"

Anderson tells and retells much about Odin's scheming and self-sacrifice.
