I'm god and a priest with the ability to create life





I knew it. There's more to this Golem myth than you might have expected. God may not excactly have sculpted Adam out of clay as is told in Talmudic and Abrahamic legends. The process seems to have been a bit more chemical, but still we might have our origins in clay. Being a clay artist suddenly makes a spiritual sense to and I will have to rethink my approach to the ceramic material. I'm god and a priest with the ability to create life. People should worship me as a performer of the holyest of all professions.

I will be able to make a living clay Golem without using rituals, gods name on small paper notes, blood or the hebrew words of life and death. If I don't fire my raw Golem sculpture I just have to wait long enough, letting the chemical processes grow and then - he/she/it will take his first step and walk away.
