Curious, who do you call out to, or want to?

If anyone doesn't know who my avatar is, it's Morrigan. I also like Anubis a lot too. I do visualizations to certain god/desses. Sometimes I try to attract Oshun for help in the love life. I would like to associate myself more with Baset, Isis, and Osiris. I like the Egyptian deities the most (and Morrigan!).

Anyways, enough about me. What about you?

Blessed be,
Rae♥

Eh...That's a lot of readingI'll check up on it later.
That's a lot of god/desses. How many of them do you think are maybe too similar or 'avatars' of another?


There's probably quite a bit of syncretism going on there. I know the older ones were the ones that lasted the longest. Isis, Osiris, Set, Anubis, Thoth, those were extremely old deities whose myths just evolved over time and more and more deities were added and worshiped only in certain areas. A lot of those deities would be like area deities. If you lived in a certain nome you'd have your own gods as well as the more major ones. Egypt lasted from before recorded history all the way in to the rise of Christianity in the 300s a.d., so their religion went through numerous changes and evolutions. Osiris was one of the gods listed in the list of the first Kings of Egypt (pre-dynastic to get technical), and there's debate that he may have actually been a real person that later became deified after his death, but since it was before they started recording their own history in writing, no one can be sure.
