Which Pantheon are you drawn to?
Be it Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Norse, Celtic, Middle Eastern, etc? and do you mix Pantheon's or just stick to one?
I am particularly drawn to Egyptian (Isis etc.) but I have worked with others before with great results. What about you?
Happy Holidays!

Re: Which Pantheon are you drawn to?
I worship the Greek gods. Most specifically Apollo first and foremost, and then Polyhymnia, Terpsichore and Hestia, and then the rest.Enlightenment wrote:Be it Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Norse, Celtic, Middle Eastern, etc? and do you mix Pantheon's or just stick to one?

I see Deity in archetypal terms, personally. Though there are some which I honour particularly, they are Norse- Tyr, Ullr and Odin. I also have a particularly serious respect for Kali-Ma and Siva from the Hindu pantheon and Volos or Veles, the Baltic/Slavic Underworld and pastoral God. I can explain why, but not today - too much red wine already!!

I am personally delving more and more into the Orishas. Yemaya in particular. I am also drawn to the Celtic and Greek dieties, but to me... they are all the same but seen in a different light in different cultures. That is my oppinion, however I won't deny their distinct energetic feel... It's kind of confusing to explain, but I hope you're catching my drift. Lol

Yes, I totally know what you mean Dark.
I look at the Deity's as aspects of the Divine, I personally look at them as individuals as they all have their different personalities and qualities but that's because it helps us relate better to ourselves and the Divine. Through them we find it easier to communicate and get closer to the Divine, if that makes sense lol. As I've stated before though, IMO, All is One!
Blessings!

So...then, do you believe that they're individuals, or aspects of one. you sort of say both here, so it's impossible to tell what you actually mean.Enlightenment wrote:Yes, I totally know what you mean Dark.

Argh, this is a hard one to explain. I believe they are all aspects of One (they all lead back to the Divine), but the Divine sends them to us each with their own traits and personalities, as individuals if you like, so we can make more sense of our own traits, and they give us the chance to get closer to the Divine (our path to Enlightenment), but actually they are all as One, they are apart of the Divine just as me and you are.LaFiamma wrote:So...then, do you believe that they're individuals, or aspects of one. you sort of say both here, so it's impossible to tell what you actually mean.Enlightenment wrote:Yes, I totally know what you mean Dark.

So say if I call upon Aphrodite (Goddess of Love) for example when I'm looking for a new partner in my life, the reason I chose Her for this type of spell is obviously because she is most appropriate for this type of working, but she is the Divine, just as all the other Goddesses and Gods are, hence why I mean All is One. It's hard to explain, especially to others. This is my personal view only and the best way I can put it is, The various Deity's are shadows all cast from the same flame. They all come from the same fource. However this does not mean they are not individuals as they are, but we're all One, we're all shadows cast from that one Flame, the Divine. We all have parts of the Divine in us, we're apart of it. We are partners with the Divine to create the Universe. Only the Goddesses and Gods are up there with Enlightenment, where me and you are way down the ladder, we're apart of it still, but I believe we'll only get closer to Enlightenment after we're gone, and in the life after that even closer, until eventually we're back to where we began, apart of the Whole.
Hope that's helped, and if it makes no sense to you, well it took me some time to work out too lol, but I'm glad I figured it in the end We all have our own views though, some will totally disagree and others will agree but this is not a topic for debate on that subject.
Blessings!
