Picking the right word

I've done a fair amount of Anglo-Saxon study and I've never heard of that.

Interesting. Got any links or citations? Google is being uncooperative.

Alaric Hall's "Elves in Anglo Saxon England"

The words are modernised. Hall has found them written as sidsa and siden, and served the same purpose as the seithr in Norse religion. Spywife comes from AS spaewife, served the same purpose as a volva in Norse religion.

I kind of like "familiar" considering it is still going with the whole witch thing. I have no idea how "inherent" sounds magical or even makes sense in this context, considering the word's meaning. Is there something I'm missing?

Inherent could be a magical thing if they gain aka "inheret" powers from being around the crazy weird monster god stuff. Then again, I don't know how that works... Maybe Inherent isn't a good suggestion then.

Titan Orion - you cheeky devil.

If I said the name Ferren, would it ring any bells? or maybe blow them up?

Dayum bro of course! Hell, as soon as I saw 4burner I knew. Good to see you man

Go with familiar then

what about Shaman. Shamans were often considered to be a go between for mortal and immortal relations.

Also, I agree with a common name, and a derogatory name as well. Maybe Shaman which brings all of the positive connotations with the word as something good. Then use witch or something similar as a slur.

May be too simple, but I like simple.

I wouldn't think "shaman" would quite fit. Even if it's being used in the loosest sense, the supernatural aspect is not really close to what's described here.



I do think the dual (or even more depending on what group is doing the talking) is a good idea, though.
