I'm very new to this so I'm still trying to find my way. But I am looking heavily into the path of Egyptian Witchcraft. So that would mean I would honor all of the Egyptian Gods and Goddesses.
Since I'm heathen I honour the whole Norse pantheon. But I am specifically drawn to Thor, Frey and Frigga. Outside of the Norse pantheon, I sometimes honour Brighid.
I was just told Brigid would be coming into my life soon... Not really sure what that means, because it wasn't really the pantheon I was following...
Pan Lugh Brigid Loki Eris Angus Og (onegus) I pray to Jimi Hendrix and the Spirit of Robert Anton Wilson (Joe Pesci was already taken by George Carlin) and the souls passed beyond veil of my Clan. Every so often George Harrison appears but he's dressed like Glenn from the village people, I haven't quite wrapped my head around that one yet :smoking: - Narcolepsy the Caffeinated
I honor no gods, but if I did and since I'm a heathen of Norse decent it would definitely be Freya, Norse goddess of beauty, lust, love and war. She has a chariot drawn by two cats, and likes to go to war riding a wild boar...yeah How cool is that? :2thumbsup: ZW
Pretty cool but I think Loki is the coolest from that pantheon. Isn't heathen and pagan officially a christian term for everyone not christian? I would not apply that term on myself if I was serious honouring the nordic gods.
none have names that are known to living humans. i would not call them gods either. but there are friendly and mostly harmless invisible things, greater, lesser, and equal, of ourselves. there is, or may be, one thing, that is more then any other of them, it to is nameless, though humans have called it by many names.
I suppose it has been in history, but it's more of a reclaiming the word kind of thing. I personally like the etymological link between Heathen and Hearth, implying that Heathens are closer to family and to nature. I am quite proud to be those things, and to not belong to one of the "big three".
It does not imply that, it means that heathens were the people from the heathlands that hadn't been christianized yet.
