God/dess of Calmness

Postby Traumwandlerin » Mon Dec 06, 2010 3:08 pm

I'm looking for a God/dess, spirit, angel, saint, whatever that provides the following attributes:

Being patient and content, even in times of stress. Just not letting be touched by small accidents, lack of time, unfriendly strangers. Just the feeling that everything is totally ok right now and you can take it easy.

I'm not looking for being more spiritual, nothing about justice or any other things. I totally lack this ability at the moment and want to enhance it. I just need a form to fill it in. Something I can study and meditate over. I guess there is something in Buddhism, but I really have no clue about Buddhism, which is actually my personal hate religion. Most things I found were all about justice or balancing out. Goddesses preferred.

I've found some nice gems to help me, but I'd like to do more and build my altar to fit this new task.

I actually had Tara looked up, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted. I didn't know there are different versions of her, like a white one. I'll do more research on her :)

Edit: It seems the White Tara is more of an compassion Goddess. I really don't need any more compassion, got more than enough of this. This would be really unbalance me.

I looked up a bit on her and it said Calmness. I don't think it was a traditional thing with her, though. I'll look some more for you :D

Here is the page that I read that White Tara can be invoked for calmness:

Vishnu is a God of calmness, according to this book:http://books.google.com/books?id=qy3EJr ... ss&f=false

Yeah, but she is also the Goddess of compassion. That won't work for me. She can be invoked for other stuff also, but she will always have compassion in her energy. And really, this stuff has to stay away from me for a while ;)

And for Vishnu, I'll read some more stuff up, I really don't know what those Rasas are ^^

Well, and Vishnu is a God of almost everything and one of those virtues might be calmness. I want someone who represents specifically this trait and not a whole package of something else.

I don't want to sound disrespectful to your help or the Gods. I've only found Gods that do a lot of things and also calmness. But that's not what I want. That's why I asked the question.

Thanks :) Well with peace, they rather mean the opposite of war and she has a high justice aspect to remain that peace. All are more those outer aspects. That's why I thought maybe I could find something in Buddhism, since this is mostly about inner peace, tranquility and calmness. Otherwise I will just create something on my own.

No problem Armina, the question is still on. Sadly I haven't found something on the list, but I will read up on two Gods I've found there, maybe they'll turn out better :)

I've found some words, to describe better what I mean. easygoingness, imperturbability, eveness of termperament, self-composure, everything with a slice of happiness please.

I really don't want any God/desses that have a connection to bring peace to their country (meaning war) or bringing justice (meaning judging others). That's all quite far away from the feeling I have.

Freyja is kind of a laid back chick. Cool, confident, the kind of girl that every girl wants to be. You love her like your best friend and protect her like a sister and crush on her like a lover. She just...has 'It'.
The Gods we worship write their names on our faces; be sure of that. A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson



As believers in the folk-religion we are studying, we seek after mysteries that expand the scope of our gods and our understanding of them, not reductionist theories that reduce them to manageable and socially productive "functions".

-Our Troth
