Carol P. Christ’s nine suggested touchstones to define the ethos of Goddess religion.

“A framework for ethical decision making but not a blueprint for action.”

It's the Catholic in me, but I don't care what happens in Century of Love because in my soul I know that Vee is the one San has been waiting for, and since this is a story about faith for me, I'm gonna let the grandma from one of my favorite movies, Fools Rush In, say how I feel.

Vee and San are meant to be. It's obvious! But they lack faith, in themselves, in each other, and what the goddess has given them.

San saved Vee's grandmother ensuring that baby Vee would come along decades later.

Vee saved baby San.

The red sheet feel on both of them when they met.

The red veil fell on Vee during the wedding ceremony.

San stops feeling pain when he is around Vee.

The second Vee took the stone, San felt pain again because Vee was also removing his heart from San.

Who has the red (thread of destiny) on their side?

NOT THIS CHICK!

(I hope that damn tracker is still on that queer rock!)

San asked to meet Vad again in her next life so he could repay her kindness and regardless if the story is telling us that Vee is Vad or Miss Thang is Vad, Vee is the person destined for San.

San cannot fight fate!

Which is why I think the goddess made him pick because San had denied his fate several times and when he finally gave into the idea of loving Vee, the goddess tested him to make sure he was secure in his path, and even though our poor baby girl was crying

our old man passed!

The goddess has delivered San the person he needs and he can't keep fighting it. He can't keep denying what is right in front of him because he thought his path was leading to something different, because he wanted something different. He can't be afraid of what's to come. He already extended his life once to avoid fate, but now he must face what this life has to offer him, Vad or no Vad, life or death, which is something Vee must accept as well.

They need each other for whatever lies ahead, and the goddess has made sure they found each other, but it's up to them to stay together.

They gotta put in work, but they have to have faith that'll it work regardless of what's to come.

What Goddess has spent a century bringing together, let no man separate.

In general

Beautiful, black-eyed Nyx, cloaked in darkness, older than old, daughter of misty Chaos, mother of great and mighty spirits, I call to you. Ever-present one, you live in the shadows; we know you in the dusk, in the comfort of the night. Broad-winged Nyx, you clasp the hand of bright Hemera, each eve and morn, you greet her with love and sorrow for only in those moments may you embrace your child. Goddess, awesome one, in your realm are we all unblemished, in your realm do lovers’ promises ring true, in your realm are all things possible, if only until daybreak. Nyx, I honor you.

Small prayer 

“Nyx, mother of the night, mother of sleep, mother of death: Might your darkness embrace me Might your energy caress me Might you be mine and Might I be yours Blessed be.“

In general 

O ancient Goddess, born of Chaos and steeped in shadow, I honor you now and always. With eyes which have watched the beginnings of all that is, see us now embracing your sleep and mystery. With power that strikes fear into the hearts of the most revered of Gods,

I remember your strength when I am searching for my own. In the starless night where light shines not i will give my thanks to your Greatness, And surrender to the dark.

May Nyx cover you with the calmness of night.

I use resources, I do not own the info, and most deep dives have UPG (that I use in my work.) And I only take some information from sources. I am 14, this is my hobby, I am learning but I spent many hours and days on this, and I am always open to criticism. I have been doing worship for 5 years. Please know you can use the info, I do not sue, but I will take action if this work is used without permission and not put as a resource if used in any work. without permisson and not put as a resource if used in any work, for the public.

Judgement

upright: resurrection, reflection, reckoning, judgement, and awakening. reversed: lack of self-awareness, doubt, self-loathing.

Yet another tarot card edit, this time for my Curse of Strahd character, Avra! She's a shadar-kai/reborn phantom rogue who was brought back from the dead by the Raven Queen to serve as her chosen assassin. She was sent to Barovia to kill a rogue lich, but one of the people meant to help her (a raven given human form by the Raven Queen) has made a bargain with him instead...

Her epithet in my notes is "the revenant", and I think it's pretty obvious why. And also pretty obvious why she gets the Judgement card. (Resurrected from the dead, brings her goddess's judgement upon people, etc.)

In this case the reversed version of the card is also fitting, or at least it most likely will be as her arc progresses... (Though the "lack of self-awareness" is pretty accurate, given recent events in the campaign.)

Oh, and of course I had to include a raven looking down on Avra. The Raven Queen does keep a very close eye on her, even now that she's in Barovia...

Something to think about…

…that I had never given myself time to think of.

The idea of faith in regard to deities outside of Christian and Catholic religions…as a little witch it seems easier to cling on to anything other than God as they see him. I rooted a good portion of my path specifically in Aphrodite, Isis, and other love/beauty/strong womanly type Goddesses as a way to have something to hold onto because it seemed right…but recently, I saw a witchcraft related post talking about how they don’t always need proof their God is there, they don’t need signs to know, they don’t need confirmation that their God is listening, they just have faith that they are.

The idea of this troubles me, and makes me wonder if I need to reconsider who I dedicate certain parts of my practice to. I find it extremely hard to have faith in anything that doesn’t at least give me something to latch onto if I reach out…I don’t know if that is selfish or naive, but it’s just not something I’ve ever been able to do. I think the idea of faith is something that is foreign to me because I never grew up religious, and the only things I would ever have faith in were physical beings such as my mother or myself. Having faith seems so Christian, and maybe that’s an internal struggle I need to deal with.

But, if I’m unable to have faith, then what am I doing anything for? What is the point of magick if there isn’t at least someone you can call to? Am I unintentionally having faith just by dedicating certain things to certain Goddesses/Gods, or am I unintentionally failing at everything I do spiritually because I lack in the faith aspect of things? Am I clinging to the verbiage of it and overthinking myself, is faith not truly a requirement but just a thing that some people have?

Maybe I’ll figure it out.

the Lady of the Lake

another homebrew goddess!

the Lady is a goddess of water, purity, and children.

She was once a servant who had an affair with her employer—a nobleman—only to have the resulting child stolen from her after the wife of the noble could not bear children that survived infanthood. Once stolen, the child died of loneliness, treated horribly by his stepmother. The servant took his body back, cleansed his tears away in the lake, and drowned herself, becoming the Lady. As the Lady, she guided both her son's soul and the souls of his half-siblings to the afterlife, and now watches over all unwanted and unavenged children, both in life and in death.

Temples to the Lady always run an orphanage, and shelter all children from harm wherever possible.

She punishes those that harm children with an inability to drink water, eventually killing them through dehydration.

Drowning is seen as sacred, and some devotees drown themselves in a ritual that turns them into a drowned cleric. They are technically dead, do not grow, and cannot drown.

Though she appears frightening, with her hair obscuring her face and eternally drenched in lake water, she is kind and comforting to all that speak to her.
