Hal Twayneson is the immixed whole of his fathers' two natures-- Wildiar's wild shamanic creativity and Bilwit's mild sacred-kingly stability. To the Menning, Hal brings the creative fermentation of the one and the enduring sustaining-power of the other, and as he is the Orgyte, the manifestation of the strong harmonious balance of the Twayne, both stagnation and chaos are avoided, and common-weal is ensured. He is thus Hal the Ingend, regenerating the Menning as needed, while sustaining the saving-power of its ecological ethos, as did Lord Ing in the ancient days. He is Lord Ing remade.
Hal= foster-son of the Twayne: Wildiar and Bilwit.
Ingend= the ever-begetter of good ecological order. Ger. jungen= to bring forth the young, of animals. *Ingwaz= the Vanic god of fertility and prosperity, the model of the Sacred King.
Menning= the coming ecological culture-civilization. Ice. menning= culture, civilization.
The saw for today: "You cannot sustain what you cannot renew."
