   As I have posted before, primary ootws (Openers of the Way,   
   who I previously called avatar types) all share some common   
   special abilities, but each has a unique primary siddhi.   
      
   Some primary siddhis I (mostly) posted before are:   
      
   Rama -- language special ability   
   Krishna and David -- music special ability   
   Jacob -- green thumb and animal husbandry   
   Moses -- sibyl special ability=the ability to communicate with the   
   Earth and earthlike planets and moons in the near region of the   
   galaxy, which enabled him to predict an earthquake and the   
   related tsunami in the Red Sea.   
   Buddha -- hypnosis special ability   
   Jesus -- healer special ability   
   Glooskap and Amergin -- weatherworking   
   Taliesin, Heracles, and the Havamal composer -- poetry special ability.   
   me -- matchmaking special ability   
      
   But what about Daniel and his ability to safely go into the   
   lion’s den? Did he also have animal husbandry special   
   ability? No, I divine that he had empath special ability,   
   like the character Deanna Troi in Star Trek TNG.   
      
   But when I say empath special ability I mean not just   
   the ability to read emotions of others but also the ability   
   to induce emotions in others, e.g. a calming effect on   
   the lion, and causing the lion to be more loving.   
      
   One living person I know of with empath special ability   
   is OBOD druid and psychologist Philip Carr-Gomm.   
      
   Oops, I forgot:   
      
   Mohammed -- regular diviner special ability, which includes a   
   wide array of subset divination abilities, including the   
   ability to go into trance and divine material, though I don’t   
   call it channelling. This ability is also held by e.g. the   
   Dalai Lama’s Oracle, Kuten-la, plus the female Tibetan   
   Buddhist Oracle, Khadro-la, has it at 1/3 strength as part   
   of her wide range magickal special ability.
