84queen of empowerment or personal growth,she does not encourage you by shaking pompoms to reach your goal, what are you talkingabout? Sekhmet is also destructive, it isdisease, it is uncontrolled fury, even Hekatewho is so fashionable has dark aspects, forexample Brimo (terrifying), Androphonos(murderer of men), Charopos (fierce), Mormo(monstrous) and also Sarkophagos ( flesheater) and Thanategos (the one who bringsdeath). Another example, I also invoke herfather, the Titan Perses through her to connectwith the root of her destroying aspect. She isvery popular and everything you want, butshe is not a cotton candy Goddess. If youembrace her, you embrace all she is. In thecase of Sekhmet and especially Hekate, theyhave quite a few titles. I do mention them as Icould mention some others, such as Morrigan,Ram, Hel or Kali, deities with accentuatedshadows, of course not all of them arefemale, Poseidon, Susanoo, Perses that Ihave already mentioned, Marduk or Loki.And I am mentioning deities somehow morehumanized, Perses is closer to the primordialchaos in this sense and to the forces of natureas a Titan.You cannot look at these types of deitiesthrough rose-colored glasses, no way! Youhave to look at them or approach them withthe respect you would have for a hurricane,although perhaps your instinct would beto run the other way if you see a tornadoapproaching. Perhaps for this very reasonthere are not actually so many devotees ofprimordial deities. In this sense, we tend toworship deities with whom we identify in oneway or another. If I am a Priestess of Sekhmet,among other things, it is because somehowwe are connected by some of her aspects and Irecognize my shadow in hers.You can read this and laugh, even be offended.It is my opinion after all, but I hope thatsome will read this and rethink their way ofapproaching the Gods a bit. If you are notprepared to embrace all, do not bother toapproach them, that is my advice, do notapproach with fear, approach with respect,it is different, it is not bad to walk slowlytowards the Gods, run towards them and youwill end up hitting a wall . They are the oneswho choose, the path is to surrender to whatis for you and because something is populardoesn't mean it is for you or you need to surfwith the flow. Immerse yourself in books,learn everything you can about the Gods, openup to them to teach you, there are ways.Once you put on the invisible sandals that takeyou to the liminal spaces there is no turningback, it is like taking the blue pill that opensthe door to the matrix.If you choose to listen, don't cover your ears.You fool yourself more than you fool others.
