Your blog is very cosy ๐, I had fun scrolling it and reading the curated content! You should share more information about the goddesses that are closest to your heart.
Do you ever feel a pull towards one specific goddess? If so, do you practice anything (practical, tangible) to honour her?
And do you look at goddesses as a whole (for example, seeing Hera, Inanna, Juno and similar-field goddesses as one and the same) or do you take them each separately? My ideas about this were always a bit jumbled, so a second person's perspective would help out a lot!
Anon, you are too kind! I want to write and share more information on Goddesses and repost more content but sadly finding female centered let alone exclusive spiritual posts are quite difficult to me; the current environment I feel actually doesn't feel that prone to it. I'm likely starting a Bilingual Witchcraft WordPress because something about Posting solely on tumblr doesn't please me. Likely because everyone tends to have such bad faith reading on the most innocuous shit or act appalled that they've been online for sometimes decades but don't know how to curate their own online content.
Saltiness aside! Onto your questions:
About the feeling of a pull to a goddess and how to go about that; I usually will research about the goddess and tentatively pray to her as much as I can ( I've slipped in a prayer to Santa Muerte and I'm trying to find a good one for Artemis and may take a gamble and actually write one for her as devotional). If you are good at meditating ( I'm merely so-so but I find difficulties committing to it for many reasons), meditate with them in mind. Setting small altars is something I've seen done and have done it back home when I still lived in Africa and when first getting in contact with Hekate.
To answer your second one, I like the metaphor of Goddesses being the branches of one singular Creatix-Goddess or entity; however they are specific branches that grow and manifested in all sorts of cultures and reflect and are nurtured by the people of said culture and many have survived, one way or another, through the extinguishing of their wide spread cults, with the growth of patriarchal spiritual thought. Because Goddeses are specific, taking them out of their background willy nilly is ill advised in my opinion. Even if you aren't reconstructionist in your Craft or spirituality, being aware of Who She Takes Form As, is of highest importance. So in a sense I see them as Unique. I will suppose if you want to embody the Cosmos or this collective energy as One Singular Goddess it could be done; but I'm not too aware of if it's a part of any specific Neo pagan or Esoteric school of thought.
There's also the idea of merely approaching Goddesses as Mental Archetypes of types of Womanly energies to Embody ( such mindset being extolled by Jungians such as Jean Shinoda Bolen) winch is to consider if you are on the fence about Believing there fr or something.
Hopefully this wasn't confusing to you. Have a good day/ night
