Bad Alias:
Before I got to your last sentence, I was thinking "very trinitarian, or maybe hexitarian."
Salusen:
IDK. I think Jim weighs in heavily on biblical symbolism..? Or maybe that's just how I interpreted it.
Snark Knight:
--- Quote from: Salusen on February 03, 2019, 09:27:36 PM ---I agree with that. But why would Hecate choose to divide herself unevenly between Winter and Summer, if not for the purpose of having Winter take over the protection of the Outer Gates?
Unless she saw Harry as the Winter Knight in a possible future and decided to hedge her bets on him?
--- End quote ---
I'd be disappointed if the series mythology tilted that far into Harry as a Chosen One figure, foreseen by Hecate thousands of years in advance. I think it makes a much more interesting narrative that, insofar as he's special, it's because Margaret Sr. jumped through the right hoops to engineer her child's birth as a Starborn.
I prefer your first explanation. Even assuming some interval between the partition of the original proto-Fae into the seasonal courts - and I do, since it would have taken some time to gain power through blood sacrifice on the Table and rear up armies worth of changeling troops - the Winter half were meant to assume the task they ended up with.
