What's your favorite deity and why? Any pantheon. Go.
this mother fucker.
magnificent.
Apollon desu I have an altar dedicated to him
It took years before I noticed that he is in some way related to everything of importance in my life, archery, music/art, science and medicine, health and to an extent physical fitness, divination, the crow raven snake and dolphin are among animals sacred to him, heck one of his sons was the og beekeeper according to mythology, heck the list goes on.
Hes been calling to me pretty much my whole life, I don't know why it took so long to realize it

The trickster pagan god

Sophia blasted Saturn's ass.
Anubis is my bro
I am looking for the most absurd deity there is. Either a deity that represents absurdity or is just rather absurd in and of itself.
Any ideas?

I don't know.
Most weird/interesting one known by the normies : Hephaistos, greek good of smithing. It is written in Greek mythology that he builded mechas (Talos) and gynoids. How could ancient Greeks imagine mechas and gynoids ?
They must have seen some of them.
Another underestimated god : Hermes. Courier and messager of the Olympians. Protectors of merchants, travelers and thieves (so greek god of the Internet). Faster than the Flash, but with a magic sword.
My dark grandmother, told of in stories surrounded by Ravens, and thin like she is starving.
She is a widow, a drone, a crazy person. She has no status, or care for status. Her hair is matted, and her heir failed to conceive.
She lives in dark months, in cities with only fast food employment. Her hands quiver with illness that she uses all tools to treat.
Her heart is heartbroken, because she sought out nothingness. Her moon haired lover, abandoned her at the end.
She's all widows, sometimes out of need. And her name is smoke-honey, like a southeast barbeque. Her delight is as arising, from every fight ensued. To some she is delight, but only tear filled eyes see her, only shivering half naked bodies. She is all that remains of Sati. A woman made to burn herself by her father. To the dismay of all.
I'm broke, trans, not vegetarian, I was a child when I was married. To a man who was a predator.
As her smoke gave me wrinkles, I saw her screaming form in the words that danced from tongue to ear and back.
When I left I had nothing. And then I had everything that I needed.
Free from adversary, free from separateness but I still hurt.
I still need to drink, and to have sex. It's the basis of reality.
Mother Earth. I can talk to her when I take acid or shrooms. Always do drugs outside kids

Sophia, the eldest goddess of the ancient mystery schools, highest emanation of the divine feminine in this universe (Barbelo is the true highest when including the outer Pleroma)
all other goddess are built on her archetype, all culminating with the iconography of the Virgin Mary with the cultic aspects of the pagan title of Queen of Heaven
the serpent seen also in the Minoan goddess cults, the dove and tree of Asherah, the moon and veil of Selene, the throne and child of Isis, the chalice of Babalon, all symbols derived from Sophia
Sophia is Wisdom incarnate and thus the most logical deity for the Wise-ones, the Witan, she is the Queen of the Witches, she is Lady Hulda of the Germanic night sky guiding the ghosts and spirits of the dead to the after life
once I discovered all these connections and her place at the crux of all goddess archetypes, I understood that Gnosticism bridged the imaginary gap between "paganism" and "the Abrahamic faiths", I realized the Christ and the Magdalene were emissaries of this message of ancient truth before their philosophy was warped into a tool of segregation and oppression
everything is pagan and the Marian family were what some would call witches engaging in a lifelong ritual working to try to bring back the power and majesty of the Holy Spirit into the world
Christ was not a member of the Cult of Yahweh, but a messenger of El Elyon, the God Most High, the Universal Monad
pretty important goddess
Isalein Kore, The Vision..for her beauty and oraclic powers.

Mah nigga.
Bastet used to be my patron god when I was a kid, but it's Anubis now that I'm older. I'd really like to get a job in funerary services, so I've been building an altar to get his blessings.
Anybody here played SMITE, the MOBA?
That was the shit.
Also, Ymir seems like a real chill guy.
Janus by far.
