Um, can I ask someone to explain the concept of the Fisher King? Where did
this concept surface? I'm unaware of its roots, since I've lived outside
American culture for quite some time. (until 1.5 years ago, 16 years in the
Dominican Republic, where the ciguapa lives, a possible avatar of the
Savage; you can recognize the ciguapa, always women, since they are very
beautiful, but have their feet pointing towards her back instead of her
front.)

Thanks.

PS. I'd cooperate with the random plotline thread, but schoolwork is driving
me nuts.
