Changing my patrons

Postby Antheia » Mon Mar 25, 2019 10:17 am

Merry meet!
I'm a relatively new Wiccan, and I have a question about changing one's patron gods. I work with the Norse pantheon, and I dedicated my path to Sunna and Mani, goddess of the Sun and god of the Moon. But after practicing for awhile, I feel closer to Frigga and Odin. What do you all think I should do? I don't want to do a fancy re-dedication or anything like that. I just feel sort of confused.

In my opinion having a patron isn't necessary.
Let them know you will be working with others and that they are welcome to visit anytime should the need arise, or not you can always talk to whom ever you wish.

Loki was my patron for a long time, but things gradually shifted to Anubis being my patron. They do their own shifting, depending on what we need from each other.

Thanks. I just didn't want to hurt any feelings. I do feel it's important to have patrons if nothing else but to have a steady influence in your life and craft.

I recently changed the patron goddess statue on my devotion-niche from Kwan Yin (whose image I've acknowledged for 30-some years) to a statue of the BVM in the guise of OL of Candles, a light-bearer image. It was a peaceful takeover by OL of Candles and Kwan Yin graciously consented when asked. I'm still not used to it so keep 2 shrines now. It seemed like the right thing to do & I haven't missed the tongue in cheek jest ;) of daily candle offerings to OL of Candles. & that may sound flippant but isn't.
