		In the Ring there is not a whisper of such conventions--but nonetheless it can leave even the most traditionally pious spectator shaken by a spiritual force far deeper than mere involvement with legendary plot and characters.
		Wagner outlined his earliest Ring thoughts in The Nibelungen Myth as Sketch for a Drama in October 1848, derived from a synthesis and elaboration of multiple Norse and Teutonic mythologies.
		The Ring has no lone Divinity who created this cosmos in six days, so the foundational "I am the Lord thy God," and the commandment "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain" are by definition inapplicable, while the Sabbath carries no sacred obligation.
