Pagans: Which deities do you worship/believe in?

Question

I believe in the entire Greek Pantheon but my patron deity is Gaia.

Alright excuse my misuse of words. She's the one I pray to the most. And she's not a Titan, she gave birth to the Titans.

Thanks for the advice prariecrow. That's what I've been working on doing.

Answer 1

I follow my own path, but I am also a first degree Correllian priestess. As for which I worship/believe in, I can't really give you an exact once since I believe that our Creator is both male and female, and has many facets and faces so that which ever side I worship, it is the same one, just another side to the God/dess. I am also learning about all the different sides and facets. I am leaning towards the Druadic/Celtic/Nordic sides of the God/dess. As for the person who said Gaia can't be your patron deity, I think they should check the part that says FREEDOM OF RELIGION! You have every right to use Gaia as your patron, especially if she is the one you are drawn to!

Answer 2

In my many years I have learned you choose the one(s) that suit you best. Someone else said it best, that he believes in them all. No one can tell you which is right for you. I was raised a Kabbalist. In my thinking, I believe that Goddess/God forms are used as labels. I guess that's not a good word, it's like an adjective that describes a noun. There is a "war" adjective, mother adjective etc. (you get the picture). They are used to envision the different aspects of the supreme. Just like kind people, mean people, skinny people, heavy people...you see where I'm going with this. So whichever you choose, or whichever chooses you......that is the one you bond with. Just my thoughts.

Answer 3

I use the term "invoke," not "worship." Worship I reserve for something specific that I haven't done for quite a few years.

My primary deity is the Goddess of Liberty, as you can see from my avatar. I have a statue of Isis, and one of Ganesha and one which is a Hindu goddess which I believe is named Lakshmi. I inherited the two Hindu statues from My Steve when he died. I also revere Bacchus, Apollo, Venus, Minerva, etc. I see them all as archetypes, symbols of a much more esoteric reality which is too hard to grasp without the metaphor of story and statue. That statue of Isis is not Isis, and yet it is. It represents her, invokes her, embodies her, but so do many other statues of the same goddess.

Not unlike the Catholics with their saint statues.

Answer 4

You are correct, Gaia is a Primordial God not a Titan.
I also believe in the Greek Pantheon. ; )

Answer 5

To some extent I pretty much believe in every deity in one way or another... but I tend to lean towards the Egyptian deities such as Isis and some of the more Celtic-oriented deities.

Answer 6

I believe that all Deities are aspects of an ultimate divine Source that is beyond human comprehension. :-)

As for which aspects I personally honor and work with, they would be Brigid (Celtic), the Morrigan (Celtic), Bast (Egyptian), Isis (Egyptian), Apollo (Greek), and Herne (Neo-Pagan). My advice before working with any Deity is to get to know Them as well as you can before calling upon Them. It's a simple gesture of respect.

Answer 7

I am a devout follower of the Nose deities (Odin, Loki, Freyja, Hela etc.)

Answer 8

i believe in all of them.

i follow the Tuath de Dannon (the Celtic Pantheon)

and follow Cerunuuos and Nemitonia as my Patrons.

I often call on Alaunnus and Grannus for aid,

As a Pagan, i consider it to be rediculous to believe in over 300 Celtic Gods, but somehow dany the existence of others.
so i believe in them all, i just choose not to worship the vast majority of them.

God is Love,

just because we do not follow your God does not mean that we do not have GODS of our own.

Answer 9

I am of Irish decent so I naturally follow with the Irish/Gaelic traditions. The Tuatha. Danu and Dagda.


Blessed Be!

Answer 10

Gaia isn't a goddess. She's a Titan.
