Aquilus Vampire and Pagan Forum

I read on this site:
http://www.wiccapages.com/dieties.html
...about how different people will choose to follow not just the Pagan God and Goddess, but 'lesser' deities such as in the Egyptian culture, Celtic culture and possibly the old Norse culture.

I was just wondering what works for others? Which deities do you feel more in-tune with? Possibly a mixture of different cultural Gods/Goddesses?

I suppose this boils down to what people prefer to call the deities they worship, since there are similarities from culture to culture  in what the Gods stand for.

Athena, Brighd, Danu, Dagda, The Green Man. even Virgin Mary.  I guess it's my Catholic Blood -shrug-  I avoid Asian deities because I haven't studied them.

The one I seem to have the most affinity for is Persephone.

It's a new concept for me, I've only been reading books that state theres one God and one Goddess. I think I'm a little 'celtic-curious' though, since I am Irish, but I'm not going to dismiss other cultural deities.

I'm in the midst of some spiritual house cleaning, so my affinity is in flux. But for much of my life I have been a dedicant of Morrigan and feel connected to certain Celtic, Egyptian, and Norse deities.

I feel most in-tune with Hekate, Cernunnos, and the Green man.  Although, I also feel close to the image of a fertility, harvest goddess, much like Demeter.

For me I am most in-tune with the Goddess Pele, she and I have a very close spiritual relationship. I also feel close to certain Loa Spirits which are seen sometimes as lesser Dieties and sometimes Gods of Ancient/Current African religions and spirituality, in particular Ayizan.

I feel that I am more in-tuned with the Celtic edge, Gaia and Epona are my main. But I have worked with others in the past. I chose these goddesses because, Epona I love horses and I am into dream work. The more I researched her the more I liked who she was and what she stood for. Gaia, I chose because I am very much into nature things.

The gods I feel most in tune with are the Eight Drunken Immortals, but out of the eight I feel most in tune with Lu, Chan, and Jun.

The god Lu, the drunkard with inner strength.
The god Li, the drunken cripple with the powerful right leg.
The god Jun, the drunkard holding a pot in his arms.
The god Lan, the god with the sudden deadly waist attacks.
The god Chan, the drunk with the swift double-kicks.
The god Tso, the drunkard with the powerful throat lock.
The god Han, the drunken flute player with the powerful wrists.
The god Miss Ho, the drunken woman flaunting her body.

The Gods I feel most in tune with are Set, Anubis, Odin, Thor.  The Goddesses I feel very connected with are Freya, Gaia, Kali, Pele, Bast, Epona, Morrigan, and Sekhmet.

Gaia, Osiris, and Anubis.. Irish and Egyptian dieties.. my genetics and my past life.  

Bastet, Anubis, Horus, Nephthys, and Ra

Isis, Brigid and the Earth Mother Goddess- Gaia, and Osiris

As my forum title implies, I feel the most close to Kali ma.  She was the first I dreamed of and the more I spend time (even if five minutes) chanting and praying to her, the more I feel life reveal itself to me.  Mind you, this is my personal experiences and not necessarily anything 'scientific.'   However, because I have writing as a hobby, Saraswati is a close second. 

On the other hand, I have statuettes of Isis, Buddha, Kuan Yin, and Shiva.  Kuan Yin is a close representation of Tara, who is another deity I pray to and it is a given that I cannot have Shakti without Shiva. :-)

I also forgot to mention my connection to Loki.  I don't know why I feel in-tune with him. I just do.
