I think it's just as easy to argue the rebirth of dragons marked the beginning of the gods bringing back magic. Isn't magic, afterall, by definition supernatural?
And isn't it a bit coincidental that the dragons are reborn precisely when the White Walkers are a looming threat? In Roman and Greek mythology, gods can lose power or fade from existence from lack of worship...So guess what? The White Walkers wiping out man would then threaten the very existence of the gods, and it would seem the White Walkers do not worship any god, or probably not the ones we know of.
I believe the gods in this book series are as powerful as the gods in real life here... Meaning non existant other than what we give them credit for.
but using that argument the only ones that even know the white walkers are around again are the Old gods of the north.
that lady has been staring into the flames a long time and the only thing close to the white walkers she mentions is the light fighting the dark which could mean anything really.
stannis in the books though had a better plan he was rearming the walls and all the castles to man the wall.
But those religions still existed after the dragons died out and but the magic they used. then it started working again after the dragons were born.
If danny is connected to the Red Priestist? why are they just now coming to her support (paid support at that)
there is direct connections made to the events all over the books. Of course all religions will try and claim credit its what they do..
Really the only gods we know exist for sure are the old gods... we have seen him... his name is bran.
