Who are your favorite/patron deities?

[aramae]

Cerridwen, she has always been there for me guiding me when I am wandering aimlessly.

I have a drawing of her that I keep above my altar, and I also have a drawing of her garden where i go to meet her when I am seeking advice.

I am hoping to visit Lake Bala in Gwynedd, Wales next year there is an island in the centre which is where she lived with her husband Tegid and her two children.

There's something about you and your thoughts that inspires me, Storm. I'd pretty much 'settled' on a couple of goddess aspects that I'd made a sort of connection with but I haven't grown any further in that area. I'm going to pay a lot more attention to that now.

Thank you!

So, I simply don't have a 'Matron' Goddess (I prefer matron to patron, for obvious reasons, lol). Perhaps one day she will find me - who knows?

obvious reasons...being that "matron" is a "feminine" word and "patron" is a masculine word?

Are you referring to your goddess as a "mother" figure? If so, "matron would be the word...but if you're thinking "patron" like "patron of the arts"...then "patroness" is the feminine version of the word.

I follow the roman pantheon Jupiter my lord, His daughters the inspiration for one the the greatest pagen empires ever known, and his pantheon were only true conquered by one that we all share.


the pantheon as a whole is to large but I posted part of it on the forum before.

' and his pantheon were only true conquered by one that we all share. "

only one true...what? could you please rephrase this? I have no idea what you're saying here and I'm curious.

Hecate and Morrigan and the ones I feel most close to.

Mine is Aphrodite. I even want to name a daughter after her if I ever have one.

Two Irish deities. Brighid and Oghma.

Brighid's pretty well known internationally. I first came to know her as a Catholic saint - St. Bridget. She's the Goddess of poetry, healing and smithcraft, and one of the main Goddess figures in the Irish pantheon. She's associated with both fire and water, as well as with creation and inspiration. There are sacred wells dedicated to her dotted around the country.

Oghma, also known as Oghma Sun-Face, is her less well known brother. He's the God of writing, storytelling and wisdom. He's credited with creating the Ogham alphabet used by the Druids. He's also associated with inspiration, as well as with knowledge and learning.

I believe I was chosen by Arawn - and have only just realised it reading this thread.

I remember calling to my spirit guide, he was very handsome, blondish hair, blue eyes, strong jaw and he said his name was Adam or Aaron. But I couldn't quite make it out...

Arawn is ringing many bells.

[Avalonica]

Originally me and a partner used to work with and worship Diana and Hecate. I drifted from the path when I lost my colleague. Recently I have come back and I am being called by Cerredwin. I have no experience of he Celtic god and goddesses, so had to learn abou her. I seems she is very fitting, being a goddess of rebirth and magic.
I also recieved 'Avalonica' about his time.

Peresphone---I get very emotional and vulnerable when I even mention her. Being plucked from her mothers arms and forced to grow up very early on is an experience we have in common.

She has taught me how to live a very difficult experience with grace, dignity and poise.

I also feel connected to Hecate, though I don't know why yet. We don't have anything in common; and I am asking her to explain our bond.

I also enjoy being around Aphrodite.

I feel a strong connection to the Three Goddesses of Hindu tradition, but especially to Lakshmi. Here is a pic:
