I want to design a sort of alchemy system where I can use the 12 zodiac signs + 5 weeks per month (4 monthly weeks + 1 full moon week), + 5 element types (4 greek elements + ether).But I want sort of have 256 goddesses that can be summoned using a combination of those 3 dates.What I want is more or less design a mythological system with a fake religion to justify this alchemical system to summon goddesses as some chemical periodic table of magical alchemy.
>>97097092okay
>>97097092Sounds very convoluted. The starting point I would use would be Water. Greek myth already had lots of nymphs for seas and rivers, so having the 60 water-goddesses each associated with a particular body of water gives you a more concrete starting point. I know the zodiac itself has some elemental and date associations per sign, so you could probably make a handful of more prominent water goddesses based on the date Pisces/Cancer is at a zenith, or the start/end dates or something. Then you can sort things from oceans to seas to rivers. Could also have each one be the patron of a particular aquatic animal. Pisces might be fish as a whole, but other goddesses are her daughters and represent more specific ones. So there's a salmon goddess of one river. That would also make things easier in terms of alchemy, since it means that bits of certain animals or water from specific places is alchemically significant in some way. Earth is probably the next easiest, where you can use various types of metal and gemstones. That'd require grouping things together where possible, like having the copper/silver/gold goddesses be a set of sisters, or ruby/sapphire/emerald being triplets. Hitting 60 should be doable enough.Fire is harder because it's less tangible, which doesn't work out as well for alchemy, but if we assume that the sun is associated with fire, then what you could use as a basis is plants. There's plenty of flowers and trees out there with significant meanings in either folklore or flower arranging, and the goddess shows up when you light it on fire, and the ashes are also alchemically significant.Air is probably the trickiest one, since not only is it less tangible, but even if you wanted to be lazy and just resort to birds, there aren't really that many distinctly meaningful birds out there. Ether is even more nebulous, and doesn't even have any zodiac signs.
cute duck
>>97097092>12×5×5=300>256 goddessesI see why alchemy gets a bad rap.You just need to add 44 duds. If you get a dud you get a duck. Collect all 44 ducks, alive at the same time, to summon the secret Goddess.
>>97097462>secret goddessYou mean the 44 ducks that are actually the fragments of the one god of the setting. Them hoes got uppity and ducked him.
>>97097092Borrow chang's method to add more numbojumbo to your starology. >12 zodaic signs, not enough >Fire Tiger, Water Tiger, Wood Tiger, Earth Tiger, Metal tiger. Now add more elements until you get the number of goddesses you want. >void tiger, air tiger, silver tiger etc. So combining parts of the zodiac animal in question, with the right elements, in the right phases of the dingalongdays makes that goddess' duck quackers.
