So, I've recently read a thread here regarding dealing with multiple deities and how other folks set up their altars, do sacrifices and offerings, etc. It was only semi-helpful to the question that's been paddling around in circles in my mind for a week or so now.
Having gone from basically being a one-god-girl to someone with two more new deities, I am muddled... One I have definitely been thwapped by, the other... maybe we thwapped each other? At any rate, I've got a few questions.
How have those of you who have relationships with other deities
developed those relationships? I find it more difficult to have time to get to know these new goddesses. Do you have any techniques for doing so? What do you do for a deity who is a softer speaker than the other?
I keep being afraid that my subconscious mind is making up personalities to deal with different issues of my own personality, rather than actually having a deity speak to me. Have you had this thought?
And most importantly, when Something Happens-- either something you've asked for or something you just
know is out of the ordinary, how do you know who did what? Was it deity A, deity B, deity C, or All of the Above? Do you try and figure out which godly source did the Something, or do you thank them all?
For developing relationships, the deities are usually pretty good at guiding that along. I suggest making a point to do a monthly ritual/offering to each and a nice gesture. Also, the deities know that the other is also in your life. Which two are they? If they are conflicting in nature, that may be part of the problem.
For awhile, I worried I was just making it up, but when stuff started happening that I could not explain, or my "imaginary people" started telling me things that I did not know that I found to be true, that cleared up my doubts. Another thing that did it for me was that I was at a metaphysical shop, and the owner started talking to me about my black panther. That is my totem, and I told NO ONE about it. When stuff like that happens, it clears up the insanity worry.
So to sum up, try not to worry so much. They chose you, so they will make themselves known in your life as they see fit. If you are still concerned, try talking to them about it.
