Never worked with a God

[DixieWitch]

I've never ever worked with a God. Is this unusual? I've worked with Bast and Isis in the past. And now it's Hekate and Lilith. I sometimes feel as if something's missing. And I'm not sure if it's because I honor no God in my life or if I'm missing a 3rd Goddess. But I've also not tried calling on a God. Especially after with what happened to me with Bast and Isis. I called on them, they didn't come to me. And after a couple years, they left me. So I don't want to force any diety into my life!!!

Just wondering if anyone else has experinced this!

I don't think that it's unusual at all. Some people work with a male and female deity, since they believe that both will create balance. Others just happen to feel a connection with both. However, I don't feel a deep connection witha male deity. I don't feel like anything is missing from my spirituality, so I don't worry about it. Just be patient with spirituality. Also, when goddesses are concerned, I think that it's good to form a quality relationship with them and not quantity. Thus, I doubt that you are feeliing something is missing since you have two goddesses in your life and not three.

I know what u mean!I was always more connected with the Goddess and not the God.It felt strange but it didn't bother me a lot.I mean at first,when I begun with Wicca,I couldn't feel a connection with the male deity and I wondered why.Now I have Cernunnos as my patron deity,I don't contact him a lot but I think he brings the balance and he has helped me a lot with my spirituality and sexuality.
I think u should try burning some God related sacred herbs,light some incense,buy a God statue for your altar and pray for a God to come to you.If he doesn't then it is ok,you are complete even with only your Goddesses.
Blessed Be

I've never worked with a God either, but Pan intrigues me.

I'm having the opposite problem: I can't contact a goddess! I keep calling and calling to this "Spring Goddess" that's appeared to me a few times, but I just can't get a relationship going. I'm even beginning to think she might be some other type of entity that's trying to tell me something, not a goddess at all! (Someone brought up the Lady of the Lake for me, and that seems to be the closest aproximation so far.)

On the other hand, I hit it off with Iarilo as soon as I really called out to him. I had known about him and mulled over him for a while but then I really started feeling a STRONG pull toward him. Our bond has been slowly increasing and I feel that I can truely call him my Patron.

What I say is go with what's natural. If you feel you're missing something- then you are. Just be sure not to rush into anything or force anything. The gods will come to you when they're good and ready!

I don't work with anyone.

It's interesting you say that, becasue I work with Pan and Hecate and they seem to get on quite well (I've never called on them as my Lord and Lady though... that would be a bit wierd...)

[DixieWitch]

Even if I were to try to make contact with a God, I know nothing about any but the Christian one! So I'm not even sure on who I would try to call to. So I can't even say that I would know if any were calling to me. Maybe what I'm missing is not so much a God to walk with as much as a closer relationship with my Goddess's. Hmm I'll definitly have to meditate on this more. Thanks for your replies. It's very intersting to hear what others think.

i suggest you start reading different mythologies... is there any mythology that intrests you especially? i think that maybe this "i have never worked with a God" thing is on your mind because this is a specific God's way of letting you know he is intetrested... but that you need to work to get the answer!


personally, my Patron god is The Dagda. However, he was always there, but not as active as The Morrigan, in my life. Now, things are shifting a bit, The Dagda is taking a more active role in my life, as well as Manannan Mac Lir and even Lugh, a bit.

Ive never worked with a god either. 'tis a bit odd because I prefer male energy.

I can't really think of any right now. I mean, I'm sure there is. Something along the Greek line maybe.

The only male deity I've ever had a relationship with is Jesus, and I've realized I don't know him as well as I should either. I haven't gotten into specific godesses yet either though, so I guess I have lots of soul-searching and research to do!

[KissMeImIrish!]

I've been practicing wicca for about 4 years now...and only recently (in the last 3 months) have I felt the need to put a face to the God. I always honored him, simply as "the lord" while I felt a strong relationship with the goddess. Of course, coming from a mainstream patriarchal religion, I had a rather biased view of the God. I didn't like him, to put it bluntly, because of past experiences. So i just ignored him. Then, I started to feel a pull towards him. It was scary at first, and extremely hard to overcome the view I have had for years about the masculine half of divinity, but after buying a few books, taking time to read them and come to my own conclusions, I have actually had my first meaningful relationship with a male deity! *hurrah!* (Ganesh, completely and utterly opposite to anything I had ever experienced with male deities!) Now I realise that for my own personal religious works, I can call on both the lord and lady, and I actually have relationships with them both. The God has taught me alot, about myself, the men in my life, and (I would have never guessed it) but happiness and responsibility! Now another god has called me, The Green Man, and I am learning all that I can. I value all the relationships, male and female, that I have had with the gods. You may not feel the need to meet the God now, and maybe you never will need to (all our paths are different), but I can say from my own experiences that he is a wonderful, gentle teacher, and i am glad to have embarked on this journey. :)

always the tomboy, i was. Somehow i'm not surprised to find myself working with Djehuti and Sobek-Re, with Aset and Bast hanging around to add a bit of oestrogen to the both of them. You want male energy? Sobek-Re has male energy, being crocodile-headed and all. Lots of it. Djehuti's not quite as 'strong' if you know what i mean. That may be because he's not quite as intense as Sobek-Re. He's a gentler power.

I was always originally drawn to Aset and Bast, and to Djehuti, then Sobek-Re came and crashed the party. I think He's to blame for my love of motorsport. I am seriously considering staying up on sunday night to watch the Belgian F1 GP (which'll go til 1am) despite the fact that i have a 9am lecture monday morning. And there's champ cars on monday night too. And then there's the WRC which is hanging around too, which'll come to Perth at some point. And boy do i love cars. Ok, i'll stop now.

bright blessings,
argent

Iiarilo? I have never heard of the God, who is He?

[Pandoras]

I don't work with any gods, never have. I've never felt any attraction to or connection with any of them. And it doesn't bother me. I'm perfectly happy and at peace working only with the Goddess.

[lythadancer]

i normally only connect with the goddess- recently in Hekate- but I do picture Herne when I picture a god. I just ussually do not connect with him.

[SweetIsTheTruth]

Follow your heart. If the day or time ever comes when you should work with a god, you will know. Otherwise, stay the course.
