r/polytheism

​

Hey everyone,

Lately I've been really drawn to polytheistic religions and their mystical sides. But I've never actually worked with energies – I've only ever read and researched.

About a year ago, Thoth started catching my attention out of nowhere. I dove deep – read everything I could, watched videos, just absorbed whatever I could find about him. Then the interest faded... until a few days ago, when it hit me again, completely out of the blue. Once again, I found myself researching Thoth, looking into how to work with his energy, what he represents, etc.

This time, I randomly came across a video titled "How to know which deity is right for you based on your birth chart." The creator suggested checking your natal chart to see which god or goddess aligns with your energy. Out of curiosity, I pulled mine – and guess what? Thoth was the #1 match.

Now, in spiritualism, they say there are no coincidences. So what does it mean when the same entity keeps pulling you in, 3 different times, across different periods of your life? I've never actually practiced anything – no rituals, no energy work – just research and curiosity.

Could this just be my brain latching onto something interesting, or is this actually a sign? A calling? And for those of you who work with Thoth – where would you even recommend starting?

I want to convert to Kemeticism but I’m afraid I’m just switching from 1 God who would never answer me to many who won’t, I’m afraid to actually try bc in Christianity I never got a response from God and I feel like if this is the same then I’ll be forced into atheism idk

Are there philosophers who explain polytheism rationally? And for what reason do you believe in polytheism?

I need anyone who is nice enough and willing to pray this prayer for me as follows to Athena. I appreciate your help in advance.

I pray to you Athena my gray eyed goddess, unrivaled in wisdom and beauty, wise in all the things you are, In time of war you have no equal in tactics and strategies. I pray to you Athena to let you know that you forever have my love and admiration; your intellect and beauty are unmatched, the stars in the sky cannot compare to the radiance of your eyes.

Athena please place me with you in your domain after I die, I do not want to go to the underworld or Elysium. I want to end up as your soulmate. From Travis Olsen in Cedar Rapids Iowa

Thanks you and bless everyone who prays this for me, I will happily pray for you in the future

hi! I've been having dreams where I'm revisited by this female goddess(?).

usually, the scenario is something along the lines of: I'm being told to do something by someone I know, but I don't think I'm up for the task so I decline, then the goddess's figure appears somewhere around me, and seems to grow in size and be engulfed in fire, as if she's telling me "no, you can do this. don't doubt yourself". this happens multiple times throughout a dream.

this goddess always appears in the same position and always has the same characteristics; it's as if I'm seeing a statue of her.

her statue is crouching/squatting, she has very long hair, and some of her body parts are animals. her head is part lion on one side, one of her arms has a snake growing out, she has a snake-like tongue, etc. honestly that's all I can remember, the dreams with her are unlike my usual ones, where I can remember them clearly.

this is around the 3rd time she showed up in my dreams with the same characteristics and behavior, I'm wondering if it's a diety reaching out to me, and I'd like to start worshipping her, but I can't find a similar looking diety on the internet when I searched, so I'm asking you guys.

if anyone recognizes her, knows her name, or maybe someone doesn't think she's a diety but something else, pls lmk. anything would help. thank you!

Hello everyone! I’m new to all of this, I just have a few questions! I’ve always had a pull to Aphrodite, and even now I have the urge to call her Lady Aphrodite, I’ve recently made a altar of sorts for her, with roses, rose water, and a candle to communicate with her, as well as tarot cards. But how do I know I’m talking with Aphrodite? Lately I’ve been obsessed with my appearance, since the beginning of the year, and before I knew much about Aphrodite I would pray to her sometimes. But is that a sign that she wants to work with me? The other night I got into a fight with my bf and I was crying but out of nowhere I heard Aphrodite name in my head and stopped crying and felt calm and was able to sleep fantastically. I feel a pull to her, and when I was trying to talk to her I couldn’t stop the tears from coming out of my eyes, I also use a candle and when the light moves after I ask her a question I take that as a yes. Is this her communicating with me? Is there more I can do to communicate with her? Please help and give me some tips, I’m new to this and confused! Thanks again if you can give any advice!
