i’m reading the wikipedia page for the wheel of time and it seems very confused
are the two halves good and evil or are the two halves male and female make up your mind dude
> The One Power is divided into male and female halves, saidin and saidar, which work in opposition and in unison to drive the Wheel.
okay so this is like yin and yang. yin, darkness, passivity, femininity, and yang, light, activity, masculinity. surely they are present in all living things and drive the events of history.
> The Creator imprisoned its antithesis, "Shai'tan," the Dark One, at the moment of creation, sealing him away from the Wheel.
okay hold up
is the Dark One also split in half?? is there an antimale and antifemale?? or is it just the Light One who gets divided into Gender
> In response to this threat, the Wheel spun out the Dragon, a channeler of immense power, to be a champion for the Light.
why does the Wheel………care??
@Lady So the Wheel of Time is simultaneously both a metaphor for the passage of time and the forces of Fate and Destiny but also a semi-sentience that actively interferes in the workings of the world in order to achieve what is Fated to happen
@witchfynder_finder right but what doesn’t make sense to me is why this is what is Fated
@Lady Because the Wheel willed it
