While the story I’m tracing in this layer does provide a kind of quasi-transcendental account (a historic-typologic-ontological account), gods are equiprimordial with world and things.

Gods explode from the margins, like maggots surfacing through a corpse. — The margins are everywhere, not just at the limits of the universe: they subtend every thing, every appearance.

Gods come from the shadows, and yet seem to have always been already here.
