New To The Craft – Questions To Ask Yourself
I can’t tell you the right path for you to take to your personal goddess; no one can. Each Witch is different, and we walk many different roads to get to where we are going. I can, however, suggest a few questions for you to ask yourself as you travel.
Do I feel drawn to the Goddess in her manifestation as Maiden, Mother, or Crone?
Is my Goddess more light than dark or more dark than light?
Am I looking for a Goddess from a particular pantheon, mythology or culture?
Do I feel as special connection to any animals, birds, or totems?
Is my Goddess more nurturing or is she a warrior?
Does my Goddess have a consort I will also worship?
What do I want from this relationship? Support? Strength? Wisdom? Righteous anger on my behalf? Love? A kick in the butt? (Different Goddesses will definitely give you different things—including the last, if you need it!)
If you can come up with a list that has the answers to these questions, as well as anything else you can think of that applies to your path and your practice of magick, you should be able to find the Goddess you seek, or any of the myriad of wonderful reference materials on Pagan deities.
In the end, the search is just as much a part of your magickal education as anything else you will pursue during the course of your magickal studies. And whether or not you find your personal Goddess right away or continue to call on her in a more general form, rest assured that even if you don’t know her name, she knows yours. And She hears your prayers, no matter what you call her.
