Members' Pantheons
I am an Animistic Hardcore Polytheist which means I believe to all Deities and that they are all very unique, distinct and separate, even those who share the same archetype. To me, it's just fine to mix Deities from different pantheons if of course the Deities themselves don't mind working together.
Also, I'm not one who believes that you must have a patron and patroness in order to keep balance so you'll see I am working with more than two Deities.
Here are some of the Gods, Goddesses, Daemons and Great Spirits in my pantheon.

Re: Members' Pantheons
I am a hard polytheist as well as an omnitheist. I believe all Gods are individual beings. I also believe that we must all come to understand the divine in our own ways as the divine is a mystery, so I believe all God forms are correct and true. So how ever you see the divine is true and I believe that being is its own being.
The individual unique Gods I have worshiped and work with come from different pantheons. Each pantheon is worshiped in their own seperate way for me. Each pantheon ideally would also have their own altars for their own shrines. I just haven't built them all yet.
Germanic/Norse:
Frigga
Idun
Ostara
Skadi
Odin
Nirord
Tyr
Eir
Greek/Hellenic:
Pan
Poseidon
Apollo
Selene
Artemis
Hermes
Italian/Strega:
Dianna
Lucifer
Egyptian:
Bastet
Thoth
Sekhmet

Re: Members' Pantheons
I don't know what I am. I believe the One / the All /the devine energy within us and the plants and stones etc, devided in male and female/god and goddess. everyone names the god and the goddess differently but all gods are one god and all godesses are one goddess.The One Energy is between the molecules while the Elements are the molecules themselves.
I think what makes me wiccan is the belief in the Rede and in the threefold law. coz this cosmology of mine is too weird to be anything I guess.

Re: Members' Pantheons
That is ok. Everyone must come to experience the divine in their own way. Some people are soft polytheistic where they believe in many Gods but they are all part of one Larger God and one larger Goddess. In time you may develop a deeper and more specific understanding of the Gods and Goddesses that make up this universe.Kat wrote:I don't know what I am.
That is soft polytheism, if I understand what you are saying correctly. I'm going to see if I understand what it is you believe here. From what you just said:You believe in One divine force that is manifested in a God and Goddess. You believe that there are many names for individual Gods (we all name the divine differently), but they are apart of one God and one Goddess which are in turn a part of one Divine force, The belief that all Gods are one God and all Goddesses are one Goddess is a form of soft polytheism.Kat wrote:I believe the One / the All /the divine energy within us and the plants and stones etc, divided in male and female/god and goddess. everyone names the god and the goddess differently but all gods are one god and all goddesses are one goddess.
The force in all things, the belief that there is a divine force animating all objects (plants, stones, crystals, humans, animals, etc) is animism. This is a belief that I share. I believe that this energetic force (spirit) is what allows us to practice magic.Kat wrote:The One Energy is between the molecules while the Elements are the molecules themselves.
Actually what makes a person Wiccan is the worship of the God and Goddess through the 8 sabbats and 13 esbats. The use of that specific ritual format and practices is what makes Wicca. The Rede and the threefold law are also a part of it, but not as much as the ritual format as the ritual format is what allows the practitioner to experience the mysteries of the God and Goddess as well as the universe.Kat wrote: I think what makes me wiccan is the belief in the Rede and in the threefold law.
There are non wiccan witches who follow the threefold law and the rede. Wicca is just one of many different witchcraft paths out there. Your belief in the God and Goddess made up of all other Gods and Goddesses is a common belief in most forms of Wicca. Other forms of Wicca believe in and worship a specific God and Goddess known as the Lord and Lady of the Isles.
For now I wouldn't label myself any specific witchcraft path. I'd just consider myself a witch. Remember that there are many different ways of practicing witchcraft. Wicca is only one. Wicca is actually a fairly limiting form of religious witchcraft.
The cosmology is the makeup of the universe (as in the spirit worlds and realms mixed in with the physical realms). My cosmology is more complex than most. In simplest terms there are three major realms, but many other realms in there as well.Kat wrote: coz this cosmology of mine is too weird to be anything I guess.
Wicca cosmology has a realm of the Gods, the earth, a spirit realm and an underworld.

Re: Members' Pantheons
Lately I keep becoming interested in and drawn to more deities. I dont want to add too many because I feel that it might be overwhelming. But I dont want to ignore the call from them that Im receiving. How do you guys work with so many? Do you have altars to all of these? Do you work with each one in some small each day or on a regular basis?
Right now I work with the following.
Hindu
Ganesh
Lakshmi
Celtic
Airmid
Greek
Apollo
Selene
Buddhist (although not really considered a deity)
Buddha
Kuan Yin
Other
Archangel Michael
Archangel Ralphael
Ones Im feeling drawn to lately
Freyja
Belenus

Re: House of Deities
I didn't include the angelic forces I am working with or the Dragons I have worked with in my list. I don't consider those pantheons so to speak. They are sentient beings I work with but I don't consider them pantheons. Does that make sense?AnaisStar wrote:

Re: House of Deities
That is soft polytheism. Its polytheism because you do believe in many Gods and Goddesses. You just believe them to be aspects of one larger Goddess and one larger God. So for you it doesn't matter which God and Goddess you call on in ritual as they are all part of one God and one Goddess. Its soft because instead of being individual beings the Gods are aspects of a larger God and Goddess. Does that make sense?Kat wrote:yes this is what I'm saying.

Animism is the believe that all living things are composed of a physical body and a spiritual body as well. This spirit force can be found in crystals, plants, animals, and people. Specific locations and areas may also have a living spirit force in them as well. That is the belief of animism. Everything has a spirit or soul component to it.Kat wrote:animism? yes I guess so. anything to google it and learn more.loona wynd wrote:The force in all things, the belief that there is a divine force animating all objects (plants, stones, crystals, humans, animals, etc) is animism.

Its the sabbats that tell the myths of the God and Goddess in Wicca. The sabbat rituals provide ways to access and experience the mysteries of that sabbat and that God and Goddess. This is why its the rituals and the sabbat work that makes one Wiccan. Those are the tools that allow one to experience the mysteries of Wicca.Kat wrote:ah I forgot the sabbats and esbats? lol tnx loona for reminding me!loona wynd wrote:Actually what makes a person Wiccan is the worship of the God and Goddess through the 8 sabbats and 13 esbats.

Yes. I originally held that view myself. Some people think of it as a large diamond where each face of the diamond is a different God or Goddess. When you put all the faces of the Goddess diamond together you get the Great Goddess and when you put all the faces of the God diamond together you get the Great God. This is a very common belief. Its the belief most Wiccans that I have met (who don't belong to a BTW coven) have. One of the reasons for this is the Charge of the Goddess where it even states she has many names.Kat wrote:this is common?

Wicca is just one of many different witchcraft paths out there. Your belief in the God and Goddess made up of all other Gods and Goddesses is a common belief in most forms of Wicca.
What I mean is right now while you are trying to figure out what you believe and practice you shouldn't label yourself any path. If you feel you are a witch than calling yourself witch is identification of your path enough.Kat wrote:ya I don't like labels either.

All witches must follow their own path. Even witches who follow the same tradition are going to be on separate paths. They just share some of the guideposts along the path together. This allows them to walk together along the path while having their own path as well which may have twists and turns outside the traditions path.
By mix I mean overlap. These are spiritual realms that exist parallel and inside this realm. One good example of this would be the realm of the elves. That is a spiritual realm that exists parallel and along side our own which can occasionally open and interact together. This is also where I would place the elemental realms, the Dragon realm, and the realms of the realms of the fae.Kat wrote:what realms mixed with the physical u believe those are?loona wynd wrote:The cosmology is the makeup of the universe (as in the spirit worlds and realms mixed in with the physical realms).

basically do you believe there is a place where the Gods live, a place where the dead live, and a place where other spirits live as well as our world? If you believe in those places, those are the other realms and other worlds. Through meditation, trance work, astral travel, and OOBE's we can explore and experience those different worlds.Kat wrote:I didn't think of the realms.

Re: House of Deities
I hope to sometime include more Egyptian Gods. I'm not sure if I am ever going to work with any Celtic Gods or not. Frankly there are so many different Gods out there I've just worked with the ones that seemed to bring out the most emotional response from me, and have answered my calls in ritual.Seraphin wrote:Thanks for sharing your pantheon loona and AnaiStar!

If I included Angelic and dragonic forces the list would be longer.
Re: House of Deities

Aphrodite
Artemis
Apollo
Poseidon
Zeus
Slavic
Perun
Lada and Lado
Dazhbog
Svarog and Svarozhic

Re: House of Deities
No I dont consider them a pantheon either but I do work with them a lot. I work with the Archangels probably more than some of the other at times. Especially Ralphael as I call him to assist in healing work. But now that Im creating a relationship with Apollo Ive started calling on him as well in healing work.loona wynd wrote:I didn't include the angelic forces I am working with or the Dragons I have worked with in my list.

Re: House of Deities
I agree with you on that. Thats why I want to ideally have different altars for the different pantheons and Gods in those pantheons. I do need to get a few things for that to happen though. I can start my Nordic altar at least.Elcida wrote:I work with different pantheons as well. Ye, I don't work with different gods at the same time. I find it kinda disrespectful.

Re: House of Deities
That makes sense to me. There are a lot of Dragon spirits in the Dragon craft I have explored. Though I have really only personally worked with two one that was named in the listing and another that wasn't named. I'm going to be trying to change that and develop my dragon relationships a bit more.AnaisStar wrote:No I dont consider them a pantheon either but I do work with them a lot.

But now that Im creating a relationship with Apollo Ive started calling on him as well in healing work.
I work with Micheal as the archangel mostly right now. He has some powerful historical healing associations. He was actually a healing angel before he was a warrior angel. Though the association was still with cutting away and or burning away the ailments. I actually have a Hoodoo uncrossing spell in his name I need to adapt and do for myself. I may have crossed myself up with some negative beliefs and practices. So I'd rather be uncrossed and work that to be safe than let it build up.
I do need to get back into my spirit connections more.
