I have to admit I really enjoy blogging. It helps to really sort out my thoughts even if this is just my second post.
So let's jump write into it. I am in fact a Soft Polytheist, which means that I believe in archetypal deities. However I view it a little more different. When it comes to like say the Gods: Odin, Zeus, Yahweh, I believe that those are in fact the same deity. Just different faces of the same deity. Calling them one name over the other doesn't mean anything or target that deity any differently. It may only merely change the personality trait of the deity you are calling on.
With that being said I do worship Odin, in the sense that I worship Yahweh, whose is in fact Odin, as well as Zeus and other similar leading deities.
Now we have a basic understand of who exactly Yahweh is to me we can begin to understand what exactly he means to me.
Yahweh is a God of Peace and Light. A God of knowledge and Intelligence. So much knowledge that us humans can not possibly begin to understand. You know the phrase "God knows all." that is so unbelievably true, which is obviously referring to a God of Knowledge. He is so smart he knows the day of the end of times, he knows what is going to happen in every humans life who ever existed and ever will exist.
People commonly mistake his knowledge and wisdom for precise and strict guidelines. Because with that phrase a lot of people recognize he is a God of Wisdom but refrain from saying so because that is "pagan sounding." Yes in the bible, it speaks of how one should live their lives. But the thing is, anyone who doesn't read their religious text spiritually is not truly understanding what their religion is trying to explain to them. Besides the obvious things the bible tells you not to do like: don't be a basic bad person. There are messages that can be perceived through the text. Which is sadly masked by the humans ignorant war tainted ideals. Besides all the personalized things in the bible that the original author tainted the pages with. That is literally all the bible tells you to do. "Be good. Help others. Here are examples. Don't do bad things. I love you"
It's definitely not the mainstream when it comes to beliefs, especially in the witchcraft community as well as pagans. People in our community have discounted the idea of worshiping Yahweh due to the stigma put forth unto him that he is the christian god therefor he should be the only one worshiped. No, that was written because the original author who heard the word of god, was living in a time of bias and insecurity, and war and famine that he couldn't comprehend the idea of living under a god who could exude so much peace and love, while the entirety (or most of the human race) is being so judgmental.
It's a very large step to be taking to think in the ways I do. I can assure you though, Yahweh is above hate he truly is a God that loves and with no exception does he hate or condemn. I challenge all who are pagan, or even christian to put down the bible, when you are looking for the word of God, and pick up your God phone because only then will you get the truth about just how beatiful Yahweh is.
Love and Light!
