Hi Oracles's Child, glad you enjoy the pic.

LaFiamma - The goddesses that I mentioned are sometimes known as "The Three Goddesses". I realize that there are far more than 3 goddesses within the Hindu pantheon. The reason I think that they are referred to as "The Three Goddesses" is because they form the primary trinity of energy of the feminine aspect of divinity, which also has a masculine trinity - Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. In the Judeo-Christian tradition they only refer to a masculine trinity, and I really appreciate the detail that is revealed regarding the divine energies of life as it is expressed in the Hindu pantheon, because it gives us so much more information to explore the divine energies of life.

I do not present myself as an expert on any of this; I am but a student making my way. I find it interesting how many of the gods and goddesses are themselves expressed in various personalities. For instance, Kubera, the god of wealth is an aspect of Vishnu (at least I was told so by a very wise master who teaches within this tradition) and Durga, is sometimes understood as a form of Parvati - the Mother Goddess. She was the Mother Goddess to the other two goddesses of the feminine trinity, Lakshmi and Saraswati.

I have understood Shakti, not to represent a specific goddess, but rather is the sacred feminine energy as a whole. I think that all of the goddesses are an expression of Shakti.

My favorite God would have to be me.

Let me explain.
I see that all things are made of energy, and this energy expresses itself through the manisfistations of spirits which can be found in every tree, plant, rock, animal or person on this plane of existance.

At some level there is a spirit that has taken on the aspects of .....Zeus.
These aspects impossed upon him by the collective will of man. But underlaying that remains the original spirit.
And at the same time, within me is a spirit which has me as it's physical anchor. And underlaying that, it remains the original spirit.
The spirit within me is of the same energy as the spirit Zeus hense they are equals.
If Zeus can be deemed a god then so can the spirit within me, of which I am but a reflection.

Selene the goddess of the moon

[White*wolf]

The main God I connect with is Set [Egyptian]. I'm fascinated by him. I also connect with Anubis.

Cerrunos and Aradia (Wiccan God/Goddess)

[[SnowRaven]]

It's Selene for me as well, Goddess of the Moon.

You know...up until very recently I practiced with the belief of One Goddess and a God. But every time I turn around Lilith and Inanna are there catching my attention...so I would have to say these 2 very strong figures.

As for a God...I haven't come into contact with One that I feel a pull to, like I do with Lilith and Inanna.

[White*wolf]

I'm eclectic. I also connect with Sekhmet , Bast and also honor some of the Norse Pantheon and Morrigan from the Celtic Pantheon.

AUDUMBLA: Goddess of Ice Cream.

AUDUMBLA is a giant cow who emerged from the ice in NIFLHEIM at the creation of the world. She saved YMIR, the first of the FROST-GIANTS, from starving to death with supplies of fresh ice cream from her chilled teats.

We're not sure what flavor, but it was probably Valhalla Vanilla.


I read this and it was amazing

[purplesummer]

I find the Egyptian Gods/Goddess incredibly interesting however I am not drawn towards them.

My Goddess is Asherah.

recently I have been drawn to Sophia, thanks to a college class, so I am learning as much about her and her role in Christianity as I can. I'm not a Christian witch by any mean but I think Sophia will shed light to the questions I still have about Christianity. As she is the Goddess of Wisdom.
