I followed the simple ritual and discovered a Shinto Deity, Okuninushi to be my patron God alongside Bast, the Egyptian Goddess of Cats and fertility.

I always did feel a connection to the Shinto and Egyptian Pantheons since I was a kid, guess this explains why! XD

I did in my youth. I was a horse-crazy adolescent. I suspect my lingering fondness gave her a way of catching my attention. I agree, she is calling, and I’m working to be open to hear her message.

I’m glad you found it helpful. It sounds like Lady Epona is calling you. Do you ride horses?

Thank you for describing this ritual, it’s very clear and elegant. Lately, I’ve begun, or rather I should say, the Goddess Epona has begun slipping into my meditations and thoughts. I think I will use this ritual to nurture the relationship. Thanks and blessings!

I’m not saying that mixing pantheons must be completely avoided. It just needs to be done with the Gods in mind.

For example, the Gods of Greece, Rome and Egypt have much in common and intermix very easily. The Gods of Finland, Estonia and Hungary also tend to work well together too.

The important thing to ask is how the different cultures worked together. If the cultures got along well, then the Gods will probably also get along (because of the Hermetic law of “As above, so below”).

It is also important, though, to ask the Gods about how well they get along to make sure.

Thanks for the comment.

I agree with you about the mixing of pantheons-to a point. Throughout history different cultures have mixed as have their beliefs and deities; I see no reason why they shouldn’t where/when appropriate today. I must admit though, I find it ridiculous when folks mix and match with no regard to sacred myth.
