@Praeceptorem666 That's an interesting etymological analysis. That being said, the Hebrew word "satan" ("שָׂטָן") generally means "accuser," "adversary," or "prosecutor." It's important to understand that Satan in this sense is not the adversary of God but of mankind. I'll admit, I'm a bit skeptical that the use of this word is as connected as you think to Wotan. You need to do quite a bit of transformation going by your understanding. I'll try to process it all later though. You wrote quite a bit.
As for the apotheosis you're describing, believe it or not, that sort of thing is completely coherent with abrahamism. Consider for a moment that it's pretty much presupposed to have already taken place before our arrival on Earth in Psalms (see attached) or in Mormonism you see it as a status being granted to certain people post mortem in a process called exaltation. You also see some support of this kind of exaltation in the New Testament (also see attached)
It's really a very specific and fairly modern cucktian view that men cannot undergo an apotheosis. I really get the impression that Christian Orthodoxy and its various offshoots for the most part are rather misanthropic and that they seem to view the best outcome for mankind being given a pass for our foibles
