    Don't get so caught up in the term. I only used it cuz the OP used it. Stop attacking me!!!

    And that's what I wonder, what different people's relationship is with their religion.

    Well, as far as I understand it, paganism, really is just an umbrella term for a variety of spirtualities/religions. One pagan religion may have nothing to do with another.

    I don't worship any particular god or goddess. I see them all as different faces of one being/one unifying energy. I am, however, very fond of Frau Holda (Holle, Hulda, Hulle, etc). I even named my etsy shop after a story concerning her. :] yay.

    Does your god tell you what there is moral to do; not next, but eventually? Hera tells me that; I won't do it yet, though.

    Isis
    was a great enchantress, the goddess of magic. Together with Thoth, she taught mankind the secrets of medicine. She was the embalmer and gaurdian of Osiris. She is often rendered on the foot of coffins with long wings spread to protect the deceased

    I worship the one who is many.. my life is meditative worship.. I worship Rhea Cybele the Pomo Isis... it is a matter of the spirit of the worship, is all not one sweetly aching mass of divinity, manifesting in all forms, this is the True Goddess, her names are myriad and go on into silence, she is the tao, the mother before mothers, she's the one who free's words, thought and feeling she is the one who is, moving even in stillness, from her comes the light and dark, linta fer odel, light and sound.. I worship and contemplate Caer... balanced in the open eye of dreamtime, where the universal sprites come infinitely blowing shores upon my soul, and out into the expanse of forever, I worship the one who comes up within inside what is me...
    though the appearances change, there is one essence motion and life
    we move through nothingness, emptiness, that which happens on its own
    scattered upon the blankets of forever, she who sees even germs as life
    and us all so indalie, the non-doer of naught and the funky ever changing one
    who is a friend
    hark, for she comes now upon the west left corner of my old rain coat
    it was rinsed with many runes and then i took those runes, inspired was I
    by the emptiness of thought, essennce a conundrum for where a vying night would
    santify this hill where sudden had rised, I said nothing and disappeared this drama this act I left throughout, where are the languishing dozens, those novas from which all this sprang forth, no longer and now echoing, and unable to go on, destroyed by the desert sun, all is mirage,
    anarchy has come
    and there the hat made hankercheif had handed me a line where in the old avenues
    of no time, Ay! Ay! I am all this hidden in the plants, that which I do not show myself, it falls over me, it rises me up, it keeps me here, I bake raindrops and watch the beaches, rivers growing in the streets, rivers of love where we all have come to meet
    and I say, this is a dream, and I reserve myself in nothing, like a bodhisattva never knowing
    what is always so great, the magic in this world, I can only make myself to sit her
    in solace, knowing things that words can't say
    and write into the angles of a circle by the bay
    and the water is it clean and I don't know what to say
    ever, who is it that does this or what, this is the Goddess!
    and yeah, theres a lot, all around, thoughts, the deception, lining up to nothing
    from where does it come? From this infinite well, my life has sprung from, yet I am only a drop in the river, and where do I go, tossed this way and that, it seems in some fashion
    last year a description a line cross my mind no none of it ever came in the noon with eyes like totems and we walked through the town and we had our gowns and we sometimes frowned and we sometimes smiles and in the in I felt myself to be wild
    and I had a lot to say, for about three hours, Goddess! the wind blows, random things happen ,fade away into the primordial mist, the Goddess of writing, and the Goddess of this place who hold its all together

    I'm torn. Hecate is the goddess form that is most familiar and comfortable to me, but I draw heavily from many traditions and find that the deities which resonate with me the most are culturally far flung from one another. For example, Kali resonates strongly with my idea of goddess-as-mother.

    I do not worship the gods. In fact, in my tradition of Druidry we don't even call them gods. We call them the First Ancestors. Other Druidic traditions call them the Shining Ones. We do not worship them. We revere and learn from them. I am a child of Brighid, but am a student of Airmid.

    I have a soft spot for Kali and also another goddess I encountered during a shrooms trip, that I won't name. She's really a Mother Goddess, soft, loving, but it can also be tough love if that's what I need. She has a special place in my personal pantheon. :)

    I think the greatest God is Dionysis, under the subway cars where only I perceive to know Him in reality while others stare in my face.

    Is it me or those are irrelevant to the topic? Don't get me wrong, they are awesome deities to work with, but the thread title is "which goddESS do you follow?", while Dionysus and Cernunnos are male archetypes.
