Ep.1 How to know who the gods, the gods, the goddesses, their own identities (not fortune tellers, not outsiders)

How to know who the gods are, the gods, the goddesses, their own identity? How does the system work? God, the holy things, the gods, the goddesses like this, they choose us? Like, uh, like this person, I'll bless this man... Okay, come on.

Because even if we know what a Macrocosm is, what a Microcosm is, or how a syncretism system works, but when it comes to answering the question... who should I start with? Everyone will scratch their heads and stumble on their legs.

(For those who have monotheistic beliefs, go back to the top of the full edition here. Because one of the most confusing things when we step in to see Devotional Polytheism or contemporary Pagan circles, its thinking system is different from Monotheism, which usually has clear rules, or Asian karma / fiber systems.)

Come back to the question of whether we choose gods or gods choose us? And they like us, so they want to bless, right? Blue looks at this as a separate 4 major systems that work as follows (maybe more, but now you can imagine this).

1.The Gods Choose Us / Patron Deity)

This idea is close to what Blue says. Oh, I like this person, but in reality, it doesn't come in the style of choice because it gives out free blessings like Santa Claus, but it works through.

Affinities & Resonances Each deity has an energy or domain that is conspicuous (such as war, art, death, nature, wisdom), sometimes the soul, self, or wound in our hearts during that lifetime, attracting or corresponding to the energy of that deity.

The Calling Signs, the West Coast gods often do not appear overtly (except in very clear visions or dreams), but come in the form of synchronicities, such as suddenly walking through His symbols repeatedly (statues, His creatures, mentions in 10 books in a week), or having a strong sense of fascination with this god's civilization, influence, or story without cause.

Not just for blessings, but for polytheistic worldview, the gods do not choose us to prostrate themselves, but because we have the potential to grow or perform certain tasks with Him. The entry of the god (Patron) sometimes comes not with blessings, but with a heavy test of life to impel us to bring out our true potential (for example, the Shadow, like the goddess Kali, the goddess Hecate, never comes in the form of a loose ribbon gift with sheep, but often comes into life during a breakdown to help us create a new identity, which practical people will. Understand this point very well)

2. We choose the gods.

This is what Galina Krasskova emphasizes in the book Devotional Polytheism. In this system, we don't have to sit and wait for the heavens to open or have miracles to tell us who the gods are, but we can choose to find and approach him first. We don't have to wait for the sky to send a signal. For people now who are busy, waiting for a sign from the gods can make us wait until death.

Starting with respect and interest, if we read Greek, Norse, Egyptian, or Hindu mythology and feel destined, very fond, furry, or particularly reverent for the ideas, lifestyle, or versatility of any deity, that's why we start worshiping Him (to say that it's a great place to start, because in Jung, things that we're passionate about for no reason tend to have hidden unconscious thoughts).

Reciprocity, Do ut des, is a Greco-Roman system of ancient thought, which literally means I give to you to respond. It works like a human relationship, not just on the basis of a friendly and respectful relationship. It shows that man is not just a victim or a beggar, but a free will agent who honorably and respectfully offers a relationship. This changes the concept from begging to co-creation, which is often reiterated by Blue. We may start by giving first, such as feeding, giving. Praise, or improve yourself in the domain that you take care of (for example, if you worship the goddess of art, we concentrate on drawing). We may light one incense. Tell your first name and last name. Say that I would like to get to know you, offer clean water or a flower. Or if you do not want to put a table of worship, just devote time to it. For example, if you are interested in the goddess Athena, try to practice concentration or read a hard book for an hour and say... I dedicate this time to you. And over time, relationships and relationships will gradually form from the gods we choose to worship. One day he may become a god who really supports us (which is a very simple and cute way).

3. A system believed to have a deity since birth (similar to the first system)

This is found in many cultures, such as the daily deity / zodiac deity / personal angel / Guardian Angel / Spirit Guide. The idea is that everyone already has a protector. We didn't choose, and he didn't just choose us, but...The problem is that each system doesn't match at all. The same day, Hindus tell one. Western astrology tells the other. Japan tells the other. China tells the other. So there is no evidence of which system is true.

Blue doesn't buy much of this system, it's just an easy access channel, like entering a bespoke restaurant and ordering fried egg rice (fried egg is not wrong, fried egg is not exhausted, but it's easiest to imagine when you don't know what to eat).

4. Deity is the symbolic language of the mind, the symbol system and the template energy.

This is the finisher that makes everything reasonably explainable. Seeing a deity as the Archetype in the Collective Unconscious helps answer the question of why at some point in our lives we are in need of decisiveness, we are particularly insensitive to the Virgin Gali, because it is our own subconscious that is calling for that energy to heal or drive life.

Symbolically, this system is a system of categorizing life's energy, valuing human problems or goals through each deity / divine, e.g.

Want wisdom / solve life problems June and Ganesha

Want love / fertility June and Our Lady Lakshmi

I want to be safe. Callad June and Dame Vesuwan.

(This is very interesting, like Carl Jung's grandfather. Each god is not necessarily an external creature, but an Archetype.)

So in practice, how do people find gods?

First of all, Blue, let's be honest. What we are going to read here is no 100% proof of all the methods we use, such as: birthday, horoscope, dream, vision, cards, psychic, psychic, psychic. All of these are based on the assumptions of the belief system. There is no neutral way to verify that the answer is correct. But if you ask how people choose in practice, Blue briefly concludes that there are four (actually, maybe more, but to visualize the whole picture).

From culture (family esteem)

From personal experience (feeling helped).

Of liking and attraction.

From the interpretation of visions or signs.

If we want to know who is knocking on the door now or who we should turn to, in the practice of those who work with sacred things, gods or contemporary spiritual lines (such as Modern Paganism / Devotional Polytheism), searching for Patron Deity / Spiritual Mentor, he will not be sitting alone waiting for the heavens to open, but there is a process that will be collected and unfolded as follows:

1. Search within yourself and observe that symbol (Internal Mapping)
