I know it's insane to keep doing the same things over and over again and getting the same result so I've got to figure out just what it is I'm doing so I can affect a different outcome. It's not that I don't love the Greek gods. I do. It's just that I'm not certain that they're all that different from the Norse or Celtic or Gaulish gods. And pantheons are giving me a lot of grief. Who really decides who is in a pantheon? I mean, as people migrated, they took their gods with them, mingled them with the gods who were already there and new patheons rose up.
And mythologies? Oh, dear. That's my kryptonite. Mythologies will turn me away from the particular gods I'm focused on quicker than anything. I don't believe in them and yet since that's the only way we "know" the gods (before we get to "know" them) they seem to be an integral part of the whole shebang.
So I figure I should take a break from the gods. Period.
I'll figure out the spirituality first and then figure out the gods later. This is hard for me because there is a void that I keep needing to fill where the gods are concerned, but as that seems to be the biggest problem for me, I think I should fill the void up with me rather than gods before I try to find gods to fill the emptiness inside of me.
It's time to take care of myself. The gods will do fine on their own.
