After reading and responding to some comments left on a YouTube video of mine, ​I wanted to share some thoughts I had regarding our relationships with our gods because it seemed to me that some viewers and subscribers have the belief that the gods desire to be worshiped in only one way ​- that there is a "right" way and a "wrong" way to worship gods such as Isis, Bast, or Anubis, and frankly, I completely disagree. To believe that the gods are such flat one dimensional beings, that they have such strict "rules" in place that every single devotee MUST follow or said individual is either 1) not worthy of their attention, or 2) not really worshiping that particular god and must therefore be worshiping someone or something else ... is ridiculous, in my opinion. If human beings can be multidimensional beings and we are clearly manifested on a physical plane of existence, wouldn't the gods at least be as multidimensional as we? 

The Cone of Power had been sent to its target and I stood in silence. It was unusual that I was not leading Ritual that evening but I welcomed the opportunity to purely focus on myself and not be required to maintain the ebb and flow of the group’s energy. I kept my eyes closed as I basked in the bliss that always followed. The Brother on my right and the Sister on my left let go of my hands but I kept them outstretched as if I still held them in my own. The sound of the other coven members shuffling within Circle filtered into my ears as they began moving into the next phase of our Ritual, Cakes and Ale. In the distance I heard something … a sound that seemed out of place for the city. It was a honking. Not a car horn but rather the honking of geese.

And so instead of resisting the urge to trance I embraced it.  The following transcript is the result of the allowing ...

“With these my words, I encourage you to gently reach within your chest, take hold of your own beating heart and offer it to each other for it is only when you are able to be this vulnerable with another that you will understand my eternal and unyielding love for you. It is not with restriction that I love you, my children, it is with wholeheartedness. I love you with out conditions or expectations. My 

Oh Compassionate Goddess, help us to love those who are rude or mean to us whether they are strangers we encounter or our own family and friends we interact with on a daily basis.

Help us to accept those we believe are different whether it is their; appearance, culture, gender, sexual orientation, age or spiritual beliefs for we understand that we are all sacred beings, we are all your children. 

Remind us, dear Lady, to embrace those who are dealing with their Shadow Selves for in this life experience we understand that there is always balance and to help one of us, helps us all. 

Help us to remember, Mother Goddess, that death is not an end of life but 

I have recently read the book: The Goddess Path by Patricia Monaghan. This is a book that was designed to help the reader to help nurture your own connection to the goddess and to share in her wisdom. Within each chapter that is dedicated to a specific goddess there is history about the goddess, myths involving the goddess, invocations for the goddess, ritual suggestions and questions to aid the reader with exploring their relationship with her. 

There will be a few blog posts with my personal responses to some of the questions found in each chapter of this book. I urge you to follow along with me as we experience the Goddess within. 

The eighth chapter is about Kuan Yin and you can find the questions I will be answering in this post on page 123 of the book.

The first chapter is about Gaia and you can find the questions I will be answering in this post on page 45 of the book.

Deity is ineffable, enigmatic, immense, immanent, transcendent, indivisible and mutable. Deity is that which is and was and will always be. There is nothing that is not deity. Even if all things have the appearance of being separate and divisible. They are not. All beings are individual and yet collective in their infinite expressions. Deity is all things; that is why Deity is known to be a Sacred Mystery. 

Deity is within all and is physically manifested in all. Male gendered beings are physical expressions of the masculine energies of Deity and female gendered beings are physical expressions of the feminine. Within them both resides the other. 

I am a very religious/spiritual individual. Anyone who spends quality time with me also comes to realize this. My spiritual life mixes and mingles with my mundane reality consistently; to separate the two is impossible. I live my life with intention and create my reality through magick. My relationship with God Herself is apparent in everything I do. Though there have been moments within the stream of my life experience when the connection was strained - I have always been a spiritual woman. It is possible that the reason my spiritual and mundane are so intertwined is due to nurturing by my Roman Catholic parents. They insisted that I attend CCD classes each week, attend Sunday Mass with them as well as all Holy Days of Obligation. This was an expectation that as a child I resented but in my later years embraced. I always held a strong sense of spirituality within me.

As soon as I was mature enough to be able to immerse myself within spirituality and my religion - I did. Reading. Studying. 

I’ve always considered myself religious and/or spiritual. The word I chose to describe myself really depended on when in my life you ask me and where I was on my path seeking Truth. Was I religious? Yes, indeed I was - if at that time I was Roman Catholic or Methodist or One of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Was I spiritual? Yes, if you asked me at any other time. Because, you see, just as countless others have, I’ve traveled a convoluted winding pathway of concepts and ideas some filled with contradictions and absolutes as well as freedom from all dogma and restrictions. I am constantly seeking the answers to life’s most profound questions. You know the ones: Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life? What does God want from me? The list of questions goes on and on and I always felt there was a way to find the answers. I was certain they didn’t dwell in a book nor would pure faith give me the responses I sought. I knew they were within my reach. Somewhere. I just couldn’t see them. I needed to find the key, which my spirit/soul/inner being told me was buried within spirituality.

I was reminded of this message that I sent to a subscriber on my YouTube Channel when asked about my understanding of the nature of God/dess.


Here are my thoughts and opinions on the question of the nature of deity (god/dess). My belief is that God Herself (a blending of masculine and feminine energies) is transcendent, immanent and manifested. Everything that exists on this physical plane of existence is a manifestation of God Herself. The nature of deity is spirit or energy and essence that cannot be touched physically but rather emotionally.

 God Herself is all-powerful, omniscient, supremely understanding and loving as well as perfect, however what is important to understand is that perfection is subjective. We understand these words from a very human perspective and even then we each understand perfection from a personal perspective that is tainted by our own human experiences. God Herself is beyond this, though she is also of each individual human experience because we each are of and are part of what makes God Herself.

 What is different between Wicca and Christianity is that we understand that God Herself IS within each of us but we ARE God Herself as well because we ARE manifestations of God Herself. There truly is no difference between humans and deities. Deities are personifications of God Herself so that we can easily relate to the qualities and attributes of The All. When we look at immortality we also understand that we, too, are immortal. Our physical bodies die but we are reborn. Personally I do not believe that God Herself requires worship. Worship is not a word I use when I discuss my relationship with deity. I work with my goddess and god. I also remember that I am a manifestation of them and treat myself with respect and love.
