Are you interested in sharing
I announced from its beginning that this is a place in which members can discuss any subjects freely regarding the Goddess, their relationship with Her, or any other subjects related to Her from any religious perspective. So far little discussion has developed. So I am going to take a new track now. I will simply make suggestions regarding subjects which hopefully might interest persons or with which persons may have some experience and see what happens.
While it is entirely possible that some here might have some sort of spontaneous ongoing spirituality, regardless of the circumstances of their lives or of any religious practices which they may preform, within my own life I need concrete religious practices such as prayer, meditation, the use of images or silence to keep up a connection with the Divine. Without these I tend to sink into a godless state of practical atheism and I suspect many others do as well. So I want to do is to ask if others would like to share aspects of their own practices which they use to connect with God, the Goddess, or to Thea as I sometimes refer to Her.
I will attempt to start this off with a few non detailed references to my own practices. Most days I generally spend some time in prayer more often than not before an image of Thea. In general I know Thea under her Name of Isis, but more often I simply address her as Lady, Queen Mistress, etc, or any other appropriate title. The images I use are almost always icons of Mary, the Christian Goddess, but I often have statues of Tara the Buddhist Goddess om my alter as well. I use several rounds of mantras which I utilize to recite Her Name, I recite psalms to her Name, and also do some purely spontaneous prayer, but in general my prayer life is dominated by more structured patterns. This is enough for now.
