Evocations (How To) / Re: Invocation vs Evocation and How To
« on: April 01, 2019, 01:41:31 pm »
So, we see from the link how they view it.

For me, evocation is to invite them into your space (respectfully), and invocation is to invite them into your body (respectfully). So when I speak of evocation, that is what I am referring to.

I think that was actually very well written and informative.

The sigil did not post. Maybe post a link to an image hosting site with it?

I usually keep all my sigils, but I keep them in a sealed box. Those I work with often, I keep in their own box with their information or non-food offerings/gifts.

Path Board - Know The Gods / Litha Deities (sun goddesses)
« on: March 29, 2019, 03:30:55 pm »
Hittite:
Arinna is the goddess of the sun, and the chief goddess in Hittite mythology. She offered protection in times of war or disasters.

Aborigine:
Wala is a solar goddess. Her sister Bara accompanied her across the sun each day, but Wala realised she was making the earth too hot. She stored the sun in a bag and kept it until the moon disappeared

Basque:
Ekhi is the goddess of the sun and protector of humanity. As she travels across the sky she protects the world from the creatures that dwell in the light. 

Turkic:
Gun Ana/Kun Ana: (see Turkic Pantheon)

Canaanite:
Shapesh is the goddess of the sun and is known as the ‘torch of the gods’; she is also an all-seeing goddess, and leads the souls in and out of the underworld 

Minoan:
Therasia (her name sounds like "Tirassia") is the sun goddess, whose mythos originally had her self-birthing every year at the Winter Solstice. Later on, Dionysus was co-opted as a solar year king and her son, who is born every year at Midwinter.

Her symbols are the date palm and the fruit of that tree; the griffin - perhaps the fieriest of the mythical creatures in Minoan art; the color red, including the famed blood-red murex dye that later became known as Phoenician purple; and of course, the sun rising over the sacred peaks of Crete. She rides through the Underworld (the land of pomegranates) at night, from her place of setting in the west to her place of rising in the east.

Therasia is one of the Minoan Mothers, the goddess triplicity of Land/Sea/Sky. For some time now, we have struggled with this set of goddesses, putting Ourania (the Minoan cosmic/stellar goddess) in the place of Sky. But that always seemed a bit awkward; Ourania is beyond the sky, beyond our earth-bound realm, wider than the solar system or even the galaxy. Therasia now takes her rightful place as Sky within the triplicity, alongside Rhea as Earth and Posidaeja as Sea.

I invite you to approach Therasia, meditate with her, honor her, invoke her in your rituals, get to know her. May she shine brightly on your life and all your endeavors.

Celtic:
Sulis is the Celtic goddess that oversees all of the natural springs and sacred wells. She is associated with the sun due to her ever-burning fires in her temples.

Olwen is a female figure that sometimes was originally the Welsh goddess of sunlight. It is believed that she leaves a trail of white clover in her wake.

Norse:
Sol is the Goddess of the Sun and rides through the sky in a chariot. She is the personification of the sun in Germanic tradition. Sol also appears in other religious traditions as the deity connected to the sun, and solar energy.

Chinese:
Doumu is the a sun goddess that is sometimes combined with Marici. She is also the universal goddess of heavens.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkic_peoples

I just wanted to put the link to where the Turkic gods were recognized in history...it is a VAST region. I have past lives with the Turkic people as a shamaness. I was revered by the time I was very old, giving talismans to warriors before battles that kept them safe, among other memories.

My godform has an aspect among the pantheon.

« on: March 29, 2019, 02:27:53 pm »
Jaiyk (Turkish: Yayık, Azerbaijani: Yayıx, Kazakh: Жайық, Kyrgyz: Жайык, Russian: Дьайык), also known as Cayık or sometimes Jayık Khan, is the god of rivers in Turkic mythology. He is an important deity in folk beliefs.

Jaiyk was previously known as Dayık in Altai mythology. He was originally the patron god of humanity and son of Kayra, but later the influence of his cult spread throughout Central Asia and to the Kyrgyz and Kazakh cultures. He was the deity of rivers, water, and lake water.

Jaiyk is depicted as a young man with a scourge in his hand. He lives at the junction of 17 rivers. Jaiyk has all the power of water and can make storms on the water. If he becomes angry, he makes and causes by floods on the Earth. All of the rivers and lakes are in the command of Jaiyk Khan. He send spirits to all rivers. Every river or creek has an İye (protector spirit or deity). The Turkic concept of the god seems to associate him both to the destructive and the purifier powers of water.

According to ancient Turkic traditions and opinions, water and rivers are a sacred phenomenon and can purify all things. The people used to be obliged to respect the water in family or in social life. In the water sits and lives a protector spirit (familiar spirit). If he is angry, then he can be harmful to humans. Because of this disrespectful behavior, water may also become dry. Therefore, Turkic or Mongolian traditional and oral narratives tell cautionary tales and stories of irreverence to water. The Great Law of Genghis Khan (Yassa) has serious penalties when anyone pollutes water or rivers.

Path Board - Know The Gods / Turkic Pantheon - Etugen Eke (MOTHER)
« on: March 29, 2019, 02:25:52 pm »
Etügen Eke ("Mother Earth", also transliterated variously as Itügen or Etügen Ekhe) is a Mongolian (Mongolian: Этүгэн эх — Etügen ekh) and Turkic earth goddess.

She was believed to be perpetually virginal. In Mongolian language, the word "etugen" associates with woman and daughter of Kayra. Also her name may originated from Ötüken, the holy mountain of the earth and fertility goddess of the ancient Turks.

Medieval sources sometimes pair Etugen with a male counterpart named Natigai or Nachigai (Natikai, Natıkay), although this is probably a mistake based on a mispronunciation of Etugen. In Mongol mythology Etugen is often represented as a young woman riding a grey bull.

Etugen existed in the middle of the Universe. The Turkish people depicted Etugen as a voluptuous, beautiful woman, who was patroness of the Homeland and nature. All living beings were subordinate to her. Therefore, the Turkish people viewed Etugen as the second highest deity, after Kök-Tengri (Gök Tanrı). The dominant role in determining the fate of people and nations belonged to Tengri, but natural forces yielded to Etugen.

Sometimes on Tengri's command, Etugen punished people for their sins. But she was generally considered a benevolent Goddess. To appease the goddess Etugen, sacrifices were made every spring in preparation for the cattle-breeding season and before planting crops. Sacrifices were also conducted in the autumn, after the completion of the harvest. During the times of the Khaganates, sacrifices to Etugen had a nationwide character. They were conducted near rivers and on the banks of lakes. A reddish horse was sacrificed with appeals for the fertility of cattle and crops, and for general well being.
