As a Pagan I am a follower of the Mother Goddess. This is popular and is not the only version of Paganism out there but it is comfortable to me. I do believe in the female aspect of creation and look at Mother Earth as nurturing. I also look at Mother Nature as the force for the beauty that is in the wilderness.
I do use names for the aspects of Deity, and look at them as one would look at Saints or something comparable. Here are some of the Goddesses I follow:
Gaea: Mother Earth
Ceres (Kar, Demeter): Mother Nature
Isis: The Sun
Selene (Luna): The Moon
Diana (Hekate): Witchcraft
Iris: Rainbows and nature
Minerva (Sophia, Athena): Wisdom
Astarte (Venus, Aphrodite): Love
Hestia (Vesta Brigid): The Home
Eostara (Persephone): Spring
Sometimes they are interchangeable in the areas they can guide me.
There are others who play a lesser but still important role such as Bast (Bastet) who is a Cat Goddess and Flora who is a flower Goddess. I also am looking for a sea Goddess and Tethys might fill that role although Minerva is also a water Goddess worshiped by the Celtic peoples after she merged with their Sea Goddess. If I ever take a cruise, I want to know who to have watch over me.
If there are any Pagans out there, how do you perceive Deity?
