Creating my own god
In reading "The Power of Myth" as told by Bill Moyers in interviewing Joseph Campbell, I was struck by this particular quotation:
"A god is the personification of a motivating power or value system that functions in human life an in the universe- the powers of your own body and of nature. The myths are metaphorical of spiritual potentiality in the human being, and the same powers that animate our life animate the life of the world."
I began to wonder if the inability to attain my goal, is because of my disbelief that any god will support such a goal.
I need then to break down the goal to its very essence, its underlying energy, and to "create" a god that supports my ideas and mimics the energies needed.
My myth needs to be reflective of the spiritual goal that i am trying to reach.
Creating my own god......my own personification of myself as I wish to be......funnnnnn

Morphing into an online BOS
Been catching my "nenen" to keep track of all this information that I have been gathering. Books just don't cut it anymore. So I am taking advantage of this blog format to sort out these Magickal Topics that need to be put in a sensible order.
Hence the reason for the birth of SHERBAL SHADOWS and the Godopeadia
Final I can put a logical order to this information I have in all by BOS..........

Your Goddess concept
Being Pagan/Magick worker, I am allowed to pick the god or goddess which will be suitable to assist with my goals. But what happens when there are no gods/goddesses in our spiritual heritage which fits the deity that I need for my goals? Can I create one on my own?
After some searching I believe that the answer is yes.
Gods and Goddesses are archetypes. I believe that they are a combination of fractual energies combined. So I wish to experiment with creating my own deity.
I cannot see myself working on a spell which requires generosity, when the goddess that I work with never has that trait. No....I believe that you should also identify who the goddess is....and their characteristics.
I am in the process of creating a goddess archetype who is generous...... one who delights in giving huge gifts of unbelievable proportions. One who gives "-fantastic gifts at Christmas just to see the look on their faces" generous.
Lets see how this goes.
