i've just been reading the "why is it...?" thread and it got me to thinking that i've changed. when i first started out the goddess i was drawn to was aphrodite and its just dawned on me that how i see my lady has drastically changed.
in fact i never really refer to her by name anymore during ritual and the way i have seen her in meditation is nothing like the greek goddess at all.

is this just a natural evolution of ideas? or am i just shedding preconceptions?
anyone else out there experience this kind of thing?

oh i confuse so easily it is possible that this makes no sense to anyone else

the closest of lovers or friends rarely speak their names to each other..only to others

Oh gods, I've changed loads, but also not at all. I don't knwo how to explain it but I've gone through loads of changes on my thoughts on the gods - how many there are, whether they are separate beings or all part of the same thing etc, but never found an answer that really sums up my feelings, which havent changed. I seem to have this ability to see an awful lto of points of view at once and soemhow make them work to me.

Now I'm at the point where I don't have any specific beliefs about it all, it's just a general 'feeling' that I'm happy to live with but I can't really explain to anyone else. I've abandoned the whole idea of trying to find a path now. I just do as a please.

I have never had a name for my lady and lord as I call them but they are real to me and forever growing and changing anlong with me. I have also never asked there name never felt the need.

perhaps she changed because you have? She probably felt that you needed someone new? My Patron has watched over me for 15 years and never changed, however I have never had something completely drastic happen to me, she suits my temperment and I suit hers i suppose. Maybe a family problem or a big change in your life has caused her to change? just some thoughts to chew on...

hmmm .. good thoughts touchstone ... although nothing really major has happened in my life lately - well, i don't know, nothing on the surface but i think i've been going through some sort of self reassessment lately. that could well explain things

As you live and learn, your needs and perceptions change, you may change your path or god/goddess many times over the years.
