thespiralpath: Originally I had written this in response to others who had a lot of misconceptions and misinformation about what Godkin and Godspouses were, so I decided this needed to be its own post to be available for searching. While Godkin and Godspouses are new terms in the modern world developing out of modern revivalContinue reading “Godkin and Godspouses”

witchofhounds: zunritha: Have you ever had other Goddesses come to you; seek you out? I mean, other than your personal Goddess. I’ve had Kali help me find my strength and break curses. I’ve had Athena come to me and impart wisdom. I’ve had the Morrigan show up and speak about an ex-friend of mine. I’veContinue reading

Hello! I’m Sage! I’m interested in working with/worshiping Odin, but I have heard both good and bad things about Him and so I am unsure about working with/worshiping Odin. Do you have any advice about working with/worshiping Odin?
coldalbion: Hello. If I have one piece of advice regarding the Old Man, it is this: He is what he is – utterly, ambivalently, absolutely, mysteriously, terribly, wholly, and awfully himself. The contradictions that appear in his character are just that appearances. After all, he is Grimnir – the Masked, the Hooded One. Good, bad? TheseContinue reading “Hello! I’m Sage!

would you say there is a close equivalent to a Pan/Faunus/Dionysus in the Celtic pantheons? I have been searching myth dictionaries and primary texts for a field/orchard God or at the very least a ‘horned’ or ‘bacchanal’ being who has some affinity with wine & bucolic sex, but there doesn’t seem to be one. A few heroes or kings could fit the bill, I suppose, but it isn’t the same as a deity…
lebornaciar: no, anon, my feeling is that you’re right in not having been able to find an equivalent figure. the celtic cultures grew up in a different way than the greek and roman cultures did, with different conceptions of wildness and sexuality. for one thing, you’re much less likely to find references to wine atContinue reading “would you say there is a close equivalent to a Pan/Faunus/Dionysus in the Celtic pantheons?

poemsandmyths: “We need to hold deities accountable for their flaws and bad behavior!!” 1. We’re mortals, they’re Gods. We don’t get to make that choice. 2. The myths were man-made, some were meant to teach lessons or be metaphors, some of them you’re suppose to interpret, and even if they ARE true, who cares? It’sContinue reading
