I had to pass tests in order for Astaroth to take me to the underworld. I remember I had to pass three tests in order without failing one of them. They were hard too, and sometimes there would be three knocks, or I would have to chose the button that was different. I don’t really expect people to believe me about it, especially now because it sounds so fantastical. She came to me and said “In perfect love and perfect trust.” and
That rank of duke is for a reason, because dukey is horseshit. That is what Astaroth told me.
Hm, the image of Guan Yin comes from the image of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara (originally in China she was portrayed as a man and only later she acquired the image of a woman). And Green Tara, according to legend, appeared from the tears of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara.
Never evoke a deity (or demon, angel, what have you) under the guise of thinking they’re every other Goddess in existence if you want to evoke Aset evoke her as Aset or Isis, Ishtar as Astarte, Ishtar, Inanna, don’t overcomplicate it by force merging Deities, Demons, etc. The demon Astaroth was never specifically said to be Astarte in terms of historical accuracy rather said that his name was based off hers.
Melding all these Gods together as [insert singular God/ddess] often can have issues with calling on one God/Demon/Etc and hoping to get the one you asked for but another shows up then you waste their time and yours.
Then you have those who can’t tell the difference between one Goddess’s energy from another, titles as Goddess of Love and such doesn’t define their energy, just like all Teachers don’t have the same energy don’t expect a title to equate to the same being, unless you’re okay with whatever shows up to help you.
All these goddesses are separate entities (and Astaroth is a male demon), but they do have connecting tissue between them.
In the case I mentioned above, I asked Inanna to visit a friend and she chose to take a different form. When I did the research afterwards, it became apparent why she decided to take those forms, they have their origins in the same source. Even different forms of Tara are separate and discreet entities, with very different characteristics, on the other hand, they are like different masks on the same face.
The way I understand it, there is one Goddess, but she exists in many forms and she enjoys manifesting different forms, the same way little girls enjoy dressing up and becoming someone else with each different outfit. When the Goddess becomes a manifest, discreet entity, for our benefit, she will take on a particular personage, depending on what we invoke or what is best for us at that moment. But these discreet Goddesses exist on an individual level, as well as on a universal one and they can operate in either mode, depending on the task at hand.
The friend I mentioned is a devout Hindu from an obscure sect and she wanted the Goddess to appear in a Hindu form, such as Kali, but she chose Buddhist forms, probably just to tickle her fancy. Apparently, there was a lot of giggling and playfulness.
That’s the thing there isn’t one Goddess there’s many Goddesses who all share similar titles, but there’s not one Goddess that’s like saying there’s only one human being. Goddesses are part of an entire race of Deities.
A Goddess can speak to another Goddess if the person is outside of their general needs and domain but the idea of there being one goddess is purely religious rather than actuality.
Perhaps this has its own special meaning. I think in this case it is worth taking a closer look at the meaning of the appearance of not Kali, but Tara. Buddhism has its roots in the religion of Hinduism and it is natural that they are also interconnected.
I guess that is a Monotheism vs Polytheism argument right there, but yes, in my experience, there is one Goddess in many forms. That is not to say, that individual goddesses aren’t very different, they are, but unlike humans, they are self-realized and do recognize that behind the facade, that is appearances in the illusory world, they share the same being. Also, I am only really referring to goddesses I have encountered and consider to be related, such as the ones mentioned above. But, I really can’t tell you if Freya or Isis have anything to do with the others or if this applies to them. I realise that there are many different types of divine / celestial beings, which are technically even different species (if such a thing exists in the heavens), but I can only report what I have personally experienced and try to stay away from speculation on topics where I have no personal accounts to report.
But then again psychopomp deities will often lie to the soul they’re ferrying simply to help them at ease, taking on the form of animals, an angel, a loved one, and so on so I don’t see it impossible for a Goddess to lie simply to put the fragile beliefs of man at ease.
Lying is a characteristic of higher life forms, so certainly, it is possible. However, there also appears to be a higher morality at play here, which heavenly beings are guided by.
In a way it is, but then I am not religious and only speak based off my own etheric projection interactions over channeling or evocation, but I still find it wrong and rude to call them all one Goddess under many names it strips them of their individuality and their birth, or like saying every guy named Kyle is simply the first person named Kyle.
The only real historical connection between said Goddesses are based off which civilization was said to have come first but it does not exactly speak on the actuality of these Deities births, so physically one Goddess may seem like the first due to the civilization but does not mean they are the first and only or ever was.
Because theoretically Inanna would be a fragment of Tiamat the first ever Primordial Goddess by human history.
Which would be to help that person find peace in their faith if they should need it, just as some demons will shake up someone’s faith if they are blinded by their faith, some Deities will pamper a person’s faith even if it’s not right.
I guess they have to, because humans can only relate to deities via mythical stories, paintings, statues, etc…
We have to imagine the deity in a particular form and with a name, so they will indulge us, but in reality, they no longer have a form, even if they did in the past or will in the future. They are essentially beings of pure consciousness and energy, which is another term for a particular form of light which makes up their light bodies. They shine like the sun, but the light they’re made of isn’t like ours, it is spiritual light. Very possibly, it is a state of matter that is unknown to us as of yet.
This partly reminds me of the description of the creatures of the Fiery World: «Their bodies are light and flame. Pure flame, warming and scorching, destroying that which brings sorrow and pain. They are pure light that knows no darkness».
I believe they only have no form when here as they are not part of this density so they appear as energy, but on their plane they very much do have a form as they are part of that density and I’ve felt their forms, but then it might be because I do not view them in a religious manner or ever did. so experiences differ there. Even primrodial Gods like Nyx, Ra, and Amun who actually is the embodiment of light energy can dense their forms, Nyx who is the embodiment of Dark energy rather than light and Ra who is the embodiment of solar energy, but younger Gods like Inanna, Set, Zeus, and such have “flesh and blood” forms on their plane of existence from my experience.
That is slightly different, those are elementals, made up of one element, fire. Just like the Jinn in fact. However, I believe the gods to be made up of pure spiritual light (at least that’s how they appear to me), not fire.
Possibly, yes, but that also depends on how you view time.
Inanna was flesh and blood at some point, you can even inspect the jewellery she supposedly used to wear thousands of years ago.
She might still have a physical body somewhere, but I doubt it is in our reality or at any rate, on this planet. She did say to me years ago that she has a physical body and she essentially projects herself into the room when she comes to visit me, so that would confirm your hypothesis. I guess I have my own religious biases, which inform the way I view these beings.
In any case, in my experience of working with Attakeria (my Higher Self from the Fiery World), his fire turns into blinding white, either fire, or light - I cannot tell.
This is called “the highest fire”. Not just fire, but something akin to heavenly fire. But what does “higher fire” mean is another matter.
What I can say for sure is that the full manifestation of Attakeria is a blinding column of fire and light.
so experiences differ there. Even primrodial Gods like Nyx, Ra, and Amun who actually is the embodiment of light energy can dense their forms, Nyx who is the embodiment of Dark energy rather than light and Ra who is the embodiment of solar energy, but younger Gods like Inanna, Set, Zeus, and such have “flesh and blood” forms on their plane of existence from my experience.
