No I am not - holy smokes! LOL

To be serious - there may be 5 of us. Someone other than me has a Flidais shrine at nshrines.com

There is few but thats ok. Just sometimes would be nice to have someone to discuss her with.
Really?  So, hey, want to go fishing?  I\'ve got a telescope, and it\'s going to be a dark night, so we should see the fish really well.
...what, I\'m not talking about fishing?  That\'s stargazing?  It\'s all doing-stuff, so it\'s the same thing, right?

I have a few up there, some unfinished, under the user name mygods. Feel free to light a candle if you are so inclined.

My Patron God is Amaethon, which for me kinda puts me in a small group who actually honor him, as far as I know. I was just wanted to know if others honored deities that most people don't, or kinda felt like they were alone in honoring a certain God or Goddess.

 
My patron goddess would be Persephone... I've followed her for years and I've never encountered another who worked with her. Though lately, I feel Hekate getting closer and more focused on me.. O_o

I sometimes feel alone in worshipping Ausir.  Sutekh is much more popular these days, and many people have a hard time working with both.  Personally, I think it's worth the effort but it's a challenge.  I won't deny that.  

Ausir is...quiet.  At least, compared to the more popular chaotic Gods.  I mean, hells, if Sutekh wants your attention, you know.  If Ausir does ask for more followers, maybe people don't notice.  He seems to be OK waiting for people to come to Him.

He's very popular among Wicc-ish people who worship Him as the green man/harvest God.  Of course, these folks have a limited understanding of who He is.  Kemetics seem to have a harder time with him.  He's not the "resurrected" God popularized by new-agers.  He's a permanent resident of the Duat.  I think some people are uncomfortable with that.  I know it was harder for me to accept, in the beginning.

 
I don't know what it is, but I find Ausir really intriguing. ...Swear I have a thing for afterlife deities or something!

They're the strong, silent type (as I come to hear it). So, it stands to reason that they'd be intriguing.

The more I learn about the Vedic pantheon, the more I like. I think I might just have to stick to it/them.

 
I also have relationships with many from the Hindu pantheon :) My Hindu grandfathers saw to me attending pujas and learning a lot about it from an early age xD
Also, my country's culture is very Hindu influenced, (the Christian and Muslim influences are about the same as well), so it's a given to grow up knowing a lot about it.
Hoping to learn more every day...and not get bored doing it :3

Set is an interesting topic as a patron, for me. Outside of Kemetism, He seems to be worshipped in Satanist-influenced circles (when I was doing research on Him, I was gobsmacked at how many I saw, and how hard it was to find Kemetic sites about Him) In Kemetism (I'm thinking, particularly KO here), I don't think He's particularly as popular as the Aset, Yinepu or Bast, but I've noticed a lot more than I would have expected.

However, His following in neo-paganism pales in comparison to those who follow Isis or Anubis... mostly because a lot of them think of Him as Egypt's Satan.. :whis:

I also work with Ausir :) I did find Him very, very intriguing and quiet. He's come across as being rather formal, (Set hasn't demanded formal worship at all) and He's very welcoming. Being devoted to Set, I actually didn't find it hard to work with Ausir, but I would feel rather weird following Heru-sa-Aset, just as a personal thing.
I mean, for those of us who are divined as daughters/sons of Set in KO, Heru-wer always comes as a Beloved, but I also don't see a lot of people with Heru-wer as a patron, either.

Maybe I'm just horribly unobservant :eek:

I'm not KO, and He's not my patron, but I am devoted to Heru-Wer (and Set as well, in an odd outskirts-of-the-personal-pantheon way.) I understand each of Them best through the other.

I don't know any other pagans, and only rarley meet any, most of my interactions with other pagans are online, where I find almost no-one aware of or connected to pre-Celtic Ireland, Of the Gods I worship most do appear in name in the myths of the Gaels and Celts, but only through painstaking nerdy research can one get a glimpse of what they may hae been before.

I also follow Persephone :) I have met a handful of others also dedicated to Her though not a ton.

One thing this topic makes me think of is that I was just talking to a friend about statues as I found some just amazingly beautiful statues of Artemis. But some of the other deities out there you just can't find any.
