Vodoni hopping between prime and >shadow plane! AAAAGGGHHH! Curse the Lupines! well, the use of "umbra" for the spirit world in Werewolf: the Apocalypse probably stems as much from the English meaning of umbra as the Latin. in English, an object under directional light creates three things that are conventionally referred to as "shadow". the part of the object that is unilluminated is the shadow. anything that the object blocks light to is in shade. and that space where there is nothing for light to fall onto or not fall onto, but where if put that something would be in shade is the umbra. so, the umbra is by definition a non-existent entity. a very appropriate metaphorical word for a spirit world that coexists with our own, yet is not really there. -- woodelf <*> woodelf@???.net http://members.home.net/woodelph/ Don't worry. It's just a bunch of crazies who believe in only one God. They're just this far away from atheism.
