   As some on here know, I claim to be a primary ootw (Opener   
   of the Way, which I previously called avatar type) with a   
   global region and with a primary siddhi of matchmaking.   
      
   This primary siddhi differs from one ootw to another. I   
   believe that Rama had special language ability,   
   Krishna and Pan had special musical ability (as   
   does Ed Sheeran), Jacob had an agricultural ability   
   combining green thumb and animal husbandry,   
   Buddha had hypnosis special ability (including   
   guiding meditation), Jesus had healer special   
   ability, and Amergin and Glooskap had weatherworking   
   special ability. I don’t know yet what Moses’s   
   primary siddhi was; I will have to read the bible   
   and figure it out eventually (any suggestions?).   
      
   And while I hope to regain some poetic creativity,   
   I don’t have poetry special ability as my primary   
   siddhi. What ootws did? I think at least   
   Taliesin (Gwion Bach), Heracles, and the   
   composer of the Havamal. If David of the   
   Old Testament was an ootw (which I think   
   likely due to the five stones and a sling,   
   i.e. 5.5 lunar months), I think he had musical   
   special ability, not poetry special ability.
