I do believe that some gods ...That's possible. I do believe that some gods are the same from culture to culture and most stem from a central location. Other gods are learned from within the cultures themselves. But I tend to view pantheons as a package deal and would have a lot of trouble picking and choosing from different ones. It's a trait both Zach and I share. I'm open to suggestion about all of this, certainly.<br /><br />I do wonder, though, as Nellie suggested, that maybe I'm still dating around and can't commit to "going steady" yet. I love the Greeks, but I'm not "in love" with them. Maybe I just need to date around a bit. I was in an abusive relationship for over 50 years after all. <br /><br />Still, I know I should open up to the idea of not limiting myself. It's just hard.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01277981757643955577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008578250555065496.post-4973797753379905232012-02-16T12:14:20.859-06:002012-02-16T12:14:20.859-06:00Wow, Nellie, that's a great point.

I guess I just haven't "fallen in love" with the gods yet.<br /><br />Thanks for giving me a lot to think about. :)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01277981757643955577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008578250555065496.post-79408011778048372122012-02-16T05:47:17.678-06:002012-02-16T05:47:17.678-06:00Maybe they are telling you that's all Gods and...Maybe they are telling you that's all Gods and Goddesses are to be revered and to focus on one is no different than the way your life was for 50 years. Maybe this is their lesson to open up to commune with pantheons from all cultures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008578250555065496.post-16118066542213275582012-02-16T02:19:31.883-06:002012-02-16T02:19:31.883-06:00Maybe those Greek gods will be more like friends t...Maybe those Greek gods will be more like friends than lovers. Gods don't always stick around. I have sensed Maponus maybe once in the last six months.But He always, always has my heart. If I never sensed His presence ever again my heart would still expand when I thought of Him.<br />But if the Greek gods were really your path then I think their absence would have more of an impact on you. Friends and not lovers do you think?<br />I have always loved the story of Gunlod... Her son reminds me of Maponus :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008578250555065496.post-87263523667942538842012-02-15T21:49:06.267-06:002012-02-15T21:49:06.267-06:00I never thought of that.

I had been reading a discussion on a Hellenic polytheist group where they were getting a bit hot that all Hellenic polytheists should be politically involved in that situation. I left at that point. <br /><br />To be honest, while I love them dearly, maybe it wasn't the best fit. They're a bit Manhattan and I'm rural Wisconsin.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01277981757643955577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008578250555065496.post-65546022851839631202012-02-15T21:07:30.040-06:002012-02-15T21:07:30.040-06:00The Greeks probably high-tailed it back to Greece ...The Greeks probably high-tailed it back to Greece to help those poor buggers with their Euro monetary crisis. It'll be fun for you and Zach to explore Norse paganism together and see what you find!Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.com
