Not particularly important, Arathiriel, but I suppose you are right. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Not that I am ever one of the mistaken you are referring to, though. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Yes, the 'yin and yang' thing is a good analogy. You pretty much summed it up, I think Neferchoirwen; the quote
'What I'm getting here is that they are "beings" in the spiritual sense of the word meaning that they do not possess a physically "feminine" nor a physically "masculine" form.'
is true, the Valar can take on any form they want. In their humanoid form they model themselves, as it says in my quote, on the vision they had of the Children of Illuvatar; taking male or female bodies according to the nature of their spirits.
