I still honor Lugh during the summer time

In which I forgot that oops, this journal exists and I didn't find an good default icon. I have to get one for this journal soon enough.

A year later, and a lot of my attitudes have changed. I drifted away from Loki and Lugh, and just Godspouse in general, and learned how to be a normal person. I realized, I have needs that aren't addressed, but looking back from a different perspectives, I realized how much of my spiritual have different and took noticed what have changed and shifted toward something better. What some aspects I needed help and assist in letting go off.

At this point, I don't work with Loki or Lugh at all. It seems like I'm trying to make up my mind about my relationship with my deity and I was restless. I wasn't able to settle in.

I still like Lugh alot, but I hardly call on him for help unless it's for inspiration or to honor the Summer Times as a time of creativity, energy, and physical movement, and to move around old energies and burn them with the energy of fire and sun to make way for new energies.

Reading my old entries from last year, I realized how deeply ingrained my pagan identity is important to me, and I don't have to loose faith in God, nor give up my Buddhist upbringing. In fact, it was supposed to be a harmonious blend of faiths that works best with my own energy.

I still honor Lugh during the summer time because he's fun and he knows how to have a good time and still be dignified being a High King God and all, and I still see him as a good ally and friend. I just don't actively worship him.

Wildwood tarot

Very small reading, basing on the deity communication spread. Didn't turn out so badly despite feeling exhausted.

Two of arrows: Injustice, he was here to show me the truth and release me from a lie

Balance: Two snakes intertwining a tree (Beginning of May of Beltaine)

King of bows: Snakes again (Moving away from Beltaine, End of May)

Page of Bows: An offering an opportunity (June/July toward August)

Ten of arrows: Instruction

The Tower: The blasted oak. Clean break. A timely, natural destruction. (Placed on August 1st, Lugh day)


Therefore, the relationship is mostly focusing on honoring each other skills and gifts. I get Isa and Gebo a lot in the rune reading, and it was meant my weakness is that my gifts aren't used correctly and I'll achieve much through stillness.
