Once more into the brig

[saitaina]

Help! I know I have friends of many diffrent religions so maybe you guys can help me, I'm looking for prophets, soothsayers and fortune tellers of diffrent major religions. Someone who shaped and guided a religion or faith.

For example:

Christianity = Jesus
Greecian Religion = Pythia (the Orcle of Delphi)
Buddhism = Buddha
Muslim = Mohammad

It's the other major religions that I can't remember, such as Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Baha'i Faith, Confucianism (Confusious?), Jainism and Shinto.

Also for my Pagan/Wiccan friends, would you say the Crone as our sooth-sayer? Or would it be more the Goddess (mother of all knowledge after all).

It's for a story, and one of the lines refers to every religion having a prophet or savior, someone to guide them, while a small detail, I really want to remember all the facts in case it comes up later in the story.

Baha'i - Bahá'u'lláh
Confucianism - Confucius
Judaism - Various prophets of the Torah/Old Testament (eg Abraham, Moses)
Sikhism - Guru Nanak
Shinto - Various kami, ie spirits. No actual people.
Hinduism and Jainism are a bit to old for people who shaped them.

Wikipedia is your friend!

*worships before banging head on desk* usually check Wikipedia for my story facts but I had a brain dead moment of what to actually look up. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
