Fantheology
Fannish religionists have bowed to such Ghods and foolosofies as Foofoo, Ghu, The Great Spider, Herbie, Ignatz, Khamsin, Melvin, Roscoe, Saint Mimi O. Graf, Phthalo, Fancestor Worship, Bheer and the Cosmic Circle.
From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959 |
The ghod-lore of fandom -- distinguish, please, from its mythology, which concerns fans themselves as a rule. The source of these deities is indicated by Art Rapp in the verses below, and otherwise in his observation that the fannish religions, as explained under "Ghods", are sublimations of our actual impulses in religious matters.
from Fancyclopedia 2 Supplement ca. 1960: Sneary demands a retraction of the statement that he was a Rosconian, as if it were an insult to him rather than an undeserved compliment. |
More seriously, fans have been known to avow Astrology, Atheism, Christianity, the Church of All Worlds, Discordianism, Judaism, Rosicrucianism, Scientology, Theosophy and, likely, every other faith of the macrocosm.
