Thoughts for when you really wish to start Deity veneration but you don't know where to start or you're overwhelmed by the many Pantheons or the Evil Internet.

Maybe if I read something like this I would have started Deity veneration a long time before? Well I don't know, because my situation was a bit different. But still it really resonated with my situation back in the days. So maybe reading something similar to what I'm about to tell you would have helped.

So, you really wish to start Deity work/worship but you're so overwhelmed by the internet or by the many Pantheons that exist, or maybe because even if you know the Deities that you will love to worship one day you don't feel connected to them at this moment (part of what happened to me), even if it's your favourite Deity from childhood.

When I talk about "being overwhelmed by the internet" I'm especially talking to the beginners. You see so many pages about Norse Gods or Greek Gods and you think that you should go with it because everyone does it.

Please don't think like that! I don't know if this has happened to someone but I was accidentally doing it and I was tired of seeing literally every post about Hellenism. I was tired. And let me tell you how an idiot I was. I LOVE the Hellenic Gods. I loved them since I was a child at school reading their myths, and I will forever love them and the history of their land. It was all this social agglomeration that drove me mad.

You don't have to do what everyone does! Or maybe because you're just starting and you don't find information about what you really wish to do... Trust your intuition! Not the Internet! You want to worship both Tyr and Zeus? But you can't find someone that worships them together? So you throw out your ideas? NO. Start worshipping them. You love them. They're Badass.

Now let's talk about if you don't "feel" any of the most famous Pantheons or if you don't know where to start.

I suggest you to do this: it's something that I find soooo important and I'm excited to share this thought with you and I really hope it will help.

Start to look at what your ancient ancestors or the people of your Land worshipped back in the ancient times.

An example for clearing this: you're French. Start researching what the Ancients of your land worshipped! Who the Gauls, the Franks, the Bretons worshipped?

Don't just find a deity connected to them and worship, start with doing research. Start reading the folklore, the mythology... and maybe you will feel something. Maybe you will feel warm, suddenly at home... and one Deity will pop up saying "hello, I'm here" to you, or "I was waiting for you".

Your ancestral blood is warming your body, and you will feel more powerful than ever.

This. This is what happened to me.

When I really started to connect with my land. And I can tell you that's one of the most beautiful sensations in the world.

I feel the ancient power of my land, of the people of my land in my blood, in my soul, just for worshipping Deities that they worshiped too. That they asked for help. That they offered libations of wine and fruits...

I love my Deities so much. And I'm writing this for them, as an offering, and as a Thank You for being in my life. I'm grateful everyday for venerating them.

And I really wish that you will feel this season too. And most importantly that you will find your true Deities. That you will feel at home with them.

And.... maybe.... if you do your research but you don't connect even with the Deities of your Land, maybe it's just not the right time! Trust your intuition, trust the universe.

The time will come.

If you came to this point, thank you for reading what my thoughts had to say!

I hope this will help you.

Glory to the Gods

Until next time,

~G.
