MAPLE SYRUP FOR THE MAPLE GOD

Our temples are made out of hockey sticks and communion involves chugging syrup and gnawing on a twig.

Speaking as an outsider to the tradition, I must ask, where does the poutine go?

I attend a Canadian Tire myself. They hand out holy talismans with every purchase.

Hello, new to this website. I work with Pan. And other male deities and just masculinity in general. I've had bad experiences with femininity, feminism, women etc. Been bullied by other women and seeing the way many behave has left a terrible taste in my mouth. I have no need for a sisterhood, so to speak so I am happy to work with male deities. As a tomboy especially, I can connect to masculine energy easier. ^_^

I'm pretty balanced, I guess. I have a male deity I've been devoted to almost all my life, and a female deity I've been devoted to for a decade. I work with about 6 other male deities and 5 or so female deities.

I find that it changes as I change; it used to be primarily male, then primarily female, and now it's balanced. I usually have one deity really get my attention at a time, based on what is going on in my life at the time.

I work with only male deities it seems. Seth, Anubis, Ra, and Anhur

I love how these old topics seem to come alive every now and then. I thoroughly enjoyed reading through this thread.

I can be a bit of a tomboy and a wildchild, but I am a woman through and through. I'm straight and never had any questions about my gender or sexuality. (Not that I'm not curious, but that doesn't limit itself to sexuality).
Being born into a roman catholic family I am very familiar with the paternal god. It has never repelled me though and now that I am finding my way into the pagan world I find myself drawn towards male Gods. There is a certain sense of protection, guidance and comfort that I get from male deities that I somehow lack from female deities.
Just as I look for a dominant but compassionate man in my life, I look* for the same qualities in my God.

At the moment I work with Cernunnos and Odin. Both very strong and intense personalities.

*looking for a God is a bit of a moot point as I've noticed that Gods tend to pick you in stead of the other way around.

I am a new Pagan coming from a lifetime of Fundamentalist Christianity. I was seeking goddesses because of my imbalances of being raised in a patriarchal religion and family. I wished to right the imbalance by only going for goddesses, but they had something else in mind. And I also have two gods i will be working with as well. I have a hard time seeing goddesses as powerful because they are women, being that my family of origin was so cruel to my mom as a woman and especially as a disabled woman.

That is why I chose to work with goddesses primarily and especially Brigid who I consider a fire goddess in my mind, because I am scared of fire god/desses being I consider the Christian god a fire god. To explain the concept probably mistakenly of fire god/desses - they heal you with a fever rather than herbs... my strange idea probably.

I am going to get a tattoo of a geisha in order to honor my mom, not because of her ethnicity, but because my father always walks about ten feet in front of her when they are out etc.

I identify with being very masculine in nature but I like to dress very feminine. And my husband is very feminine in nature so we get along well with our role reversal. I would be a bisexual polyamourous person but my hubby is a heterosexual monogamist and he is my true love/absolute soul mate although I believe you can have more than one of those.

Quick question, not wanting to derail the thread, and I don't know if this is worthy of its own thread but, have you ever been turned on by a god/dess? I was for just a second, but when things like that happen to me, I just say that is my survival instincts kicking in, evolution and all... and I didn't attach any emotions to it. Will that be a problem?

Thanks, Immortal

Yes I'm female and work with the god Thor. He chose me and helped me on many tough, painful episodes of my life.

I always connected more with goddesses, but I absolutely adore Odin and he's taken centre stage for me lately. I think it can be hard to connect with male deities at times because of how males in past have used them and their myths to control females.

I respect Odin for all he's sacrificed in the pursuit of knowledge and I consider him to be my wise teacher. He can be my annoying Yoda at times, talking in riddles and not giving me straight answers, but he's always there to help me learn.

Ooh, nice to see this thread revived. Right at this moment, my main focus is Brigid, but I have plans to begin working with Llyr and Gwynn ap Nudd in the spring. In general, I tend to think more about what the deity represents than what gender they are.

I am currently mainly working with Djehuty, and reaching out to Hatmehyt, whose call I failed to understand some years ago.

I connect with both female and male deities. My patron is the Egyptian God, Set. I agree that it isn't the gender of the deity. I connect with certain Gods and Goddesses because of what they represent. ( Also with Set, he was appearing in my dreams).
