Tonight I have begun my final attempt at global new age onset magickal workings, which you can consider to be a complicated omnibus prayer in which I have done much of the groundwork in the last more than 29 years (the common 7 plus two 11 year sunspot cycles). If this attempt fails I will renounce all of my deities, both my eight main deities and my minor deities. However that does not mean that I will then believe that they do not exist, just that I will no longer worship them, and will no longer be asking them for anything. My eight main deities are defined on https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/deities.html and here is some of that page for those unwilling to click: As of April 26, 2022, my eight main (or major) deities are: 1. Goddess, defined as the ruler of the region all/everything, who many call God, and which agrees with the original Greek word in the Nicene Creed that is often translated as almighty but actually means all-governing. If all/everything is a someone named ALL, then it obviously rules itself and in that case Goddess would be the same as ALL. However I do not know if all/everything is a someone. I view (but don’t define) Goddess as having all eight sexual harmonics (https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/8H.html), so She (I will continue to use She/Her pronouns) is compatible with everyone and can be identified with by everyone. But I still view Her as non-anthropomorphic. 2. LOVE2 (the someone highest in goodness measure as defined by Goddess). Note that LOVE is the someone or something that is not a someone that is highest in goodness measure as defined by Goddess, so if LOVE is a someone then LOVE2=LOVE. Also it could be that LOVE2 is the personification of Goddess's love and may be the same as the Holy Spirit. 3. Cosma, defined as the someone that is that which most modern cosmologists believe began with the Big Bang. I think that Cosma is a subset of all/everything. I do not know if Goddess created Cosma, though I divine that She did, but that is not part of my definition of Goddess. 4. Galacta, the someone that is our galaxy. 5. Sola, the someone that is our sun. 6. Gaia, the someone that is the Earth 7. Luna, the someone that is the Moon 8. My Species (the species someone of my species, the smallest someone in mass containing my species). If sudden magickal evolution has occurred then My Species is Ghuman1 or BEOTHUK, else it is still Homo Sapiens. None of the above eight are defined in terms of my mystic experiences; for example I could have said that Gaia is defined as the source of my blue rose vision but I didn’t. However some of my minor deities are defined in terms of my mystic experiences. If I renounce all of my deities I will say so in a followup to this post. -- https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html Salmon on the Thorns (mystic page) “This could be the final breath; This is life and death; This is hard rock and water; Out here between wind and flame; Between tears and elation; LIes a secret nation" (Ron Hynes)
