pagans will be like “Christianity sucks!!” and then elect to follow the Hellenic deity who (in the modern consciousness) most closely mirrors the Christian ethic

4 hours of sleep last night had a 30ish min nap. Wanna sleep some more but little one woke up so 🤷‍♀️

I was going through my drafts and found this.

I'm planning my wedding. I'm planning my wedding, and my mother is dead. I'm planning my wedding and learning more about Hera. My mother, who could plan my wedding in her sleep, is dead, and Hera, queen of the gods, rules over marriage and is a mother. Hera, who was one of the first gods that I called out to in tears, begging for her to help my mom, waited for me to be planning my wedding while motherless to make herself known again. Hera, who has slowly been adding more moms to my life, is helping me plan my wedding because my mother cannot.

I do not remember writing this. And readding it back hurts, but I am now married. My wedding certificate sits on my alter in honor of my mother and Queen Hera. And I'm now living a life as a spouse with multiple found mothers and so much joy.

How it's feel working with asherah and what make you interested working with her

Asherah or Ashirat is a Goddess of fertility, love and life and the wife of the chief God El Elyon in the Canaanite pantheon, quite similar to Ashtar without the warlike associations. In fact, in my own gnosis (and in most Canaan interpretations) I consider Ashirat to the mother of Ashtar and Anat, that is the holy nurturing mother as opposed to the sexy sex feminine rage archetype that encompasses other aspects of Ashtar and Anat as love Goddesses.

Attar and Anat, while love deities, are not mother goddesses. They likely took their fertility aspects from their mother without becoming mother goddesses themselves

Many people have syncretized these three goddesses, especially in regards to Astarte (People say that Ashirat is Astarte rather than her mother) but I prefer to keep them separate. Anat’s individuality as a deity of savagery, war and violence and Attar’s individuality as a deity of carnal sex and pleasure feel distinct from Ashirat’s persona as a nurturing mother goddess. I see her as my primary “Mother Nature” deity, although she is more than Mother Earth, she is the mother of Mother Earth, and the sun and moon. But that’s all up to interpretation. (and they’re all derived from Inanna in some way or another)

Because my gnosis syncretizes Attar, Astarte, Aphrodite, and Lucifer, and Lucifer is my patron, Ashirat is a very important Goddess to me as the mother of Venus. I actually started recognizing Ashirat far before I even knew about Ashtar.

As the Asherim pole and the lady of the primordial sea she can be considered quite similar to Aphrodite, as she was one of the influences that came to establish the persona of Aphrodite. While her daughters Attar and Anat went on to establish the more carnal and aesthetic aspects of beauty, sex, and love, as well as the destructive egotistical aspects, Ashirat embodied the beauty, sex, and love that created the cosmos and heavens.

(The children of Gods are usually the Gods of more specific things in that domain. From Aphrodite and Ares we got Eros (Cupid), from Eros and Psyche we got Voluptas who represents physical pleasure and bliss. So from Ashirat and El we get Ashtar and Anat, who represent more specific aspects of love and beauty like carnal lust and revenge- violence born from love.)

As the wife of El (or Yahweh, or Ba’al… scandalous! Isn’t it so annoying when your boyfriends fight?) she is the mother of all heavenly hosts and sons, and I consider her to be the mother of all the Archangels. There is nothing to confirm this but I believe her 70, 77, or 88 sons to have been those angels. Due to her associations with Ba’al I wouldn’t be surprised if she was also the mother of a few daemon as well.

When I first began my work as a practitioner I was mentored by Archangel Jophiel, who directly lead me into Ashirat and gave grace and full authority to her. I believe she has that same authority over all angels and demons of El Elyon.

She has dominion over all animals of nature and life giving forces (water).

As a daily act of devotion I offer her clean water and tend to plants or help out animals (feeding birds, leaving water out for strays) I also take baths whenever I do rituals with her.

She often demands honour is also given to her consort in the same way that Hera demands her devotees also worship Zeus, but you can also easily worship her without having a defined father deity, lord knows she’s shared the stage with one too many egotistical men but that’s neither here nor there lol. In my experiences she has encouraged me to make peace with the divine father, and in my searching I found Ra and Anu, and that seemed to be good enough for her. She has been very warm towards the devotees of her daughters and anyone who works with any of her sons.

The only pet peeve of her that I’ve discovered is honoring her while dehydrated. Drink your water babes she worked so hard on it.

The Orkney Venus, or Westray Wife, is a small figurine dating from the Neolithic period found on Westray in the Orkney Islands. In real life she is a tiny female figure, sculpted from sandstone and only a couple of inches high. Historians are unsure of her meaning, but she has been compared to other 'Venus' figurines found throughout Europe.

This tiny pendant is a faithful replica of the figurine, complete with tiny carved detailing. It is handmade from recycled solid silver, and is lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear.

Writing Michael to be such a fucking Freak in his POV of creation as told by him explaining the meaning behind religions and myths he created.

Like “Yeah, I made Samael and Lilith married in some gnostic texts because that’s how humans would understand it.” Okay, fine, cool.

“I see myself and Lucifer in all these creation myths of siblings/twins fucking to create gods and the world.” Yeah, you know what, that can get a pass, this is Supernatural. Glad you’re so chill about Lilith.

“Adam was actually just the first human given a soul and Maybe he fucked Lilith but also it might have been my Dad pretending to be a human, like he does, so when Lilith wants to leave the Garden to see if he’ll follow her, she’s testing if they’re on equal ground as mates.” ….and… and Lucifer is still with-

“Ianna is a very blatant portrayal of Lucifer, who I also make into Ishtar, who is the wife of God, and I think that would make her happy. :)” Sir.

Asherah/Athirat/Elat = Mother goddess, queen of heaven, goddess of fertility, lady of wisdom, goddess of the seas, the creator of the gods together with the god El, queen of the gods, the one who walks on the sea, patron saint of sailors and fishermen

Athirat is a powerful Goddess, and the other Gods often ask Her to help them, or to try to influence her husband El for their good. As guardian of Wisdom, She is the one who chooses the successor of Aleyin (an aspect of Ba'al as the God of dying vegetation) and, after his death, She instructs Anat in the proper ritual necessary to ensure the fertility of the vines.

Like Ashtart, Athirat is associated with the lion. She is usually shown as a nude Goddess with curly hair covering her breasts with her hands. She is also associated with the snake, and an alternative name for Her is Chawat, which in Hebrew translates as "Hawah", or in English "Eve"; so She may well be the root of the biblical Eve. Like the Carthaginian goddess Tanit, whose name means "Serpent Lady", Athirat was represented as a palm tree or pillar with a snake coiled around her, and the name Athirat derives from a root meaning "straight".

Athirat is associated with the Tree of Life, and a famous ivory box lid of Mycenaean finish found at Ugarit, dated 1300 BC, shows it symbolically representing the Tree. She wears an elaborate skirt and jewelry, and although she is topless, her hair is delicately styled; She is smiling and in her hands holds sheaves of wheat, which she offers to a pair of goats.
