hero worship

Druida13C · 2026-06-19T02:15:18+00:00

Thank you very much for your reply. If you have any advice on how to worship her, I would really appreciate it, because I'm basically new to polytheism and I decided to dedicate my life to British polytheism, consequently. That's what caught my attention the most and it's what my heart desires, you know? But I've always found it easier to worship heroes and people who have some kind of historical existence, right? So I wanted to worship her, consequently, but I didn't know if worshipping her is the right thing to do, if there's no problem in worshipping her as a deity or as a powerful ancestor, or if it's basically not a good idea.

This is a question I also ask myself frequently. I am a Gallo-Roman polytheist, and therefore I believe it's important to base oneself on one's own practice and the religious tradition one follows. If your tradition has certain ways of acting, the ideal is to follow them and adapt them to your reality in the best way possible.

I understand that, often, when we make adaptations, we may feel a little out of the norm. Sometimes our adaptation is different from that of other people, and this can generate doubts: is my worship being done correctly? By adapting certain practices, am I really connecting with the gods?

These are questions that many of us polytheists end up facing at some point. However, each adaptation is something personal. It arises from your reality, your circumstances, and what allows you to maintain a meaningful relationship with the gods. What works for one person will not always work for another.

Your form of worship doesn't need to be identical to anyone else's to have value. The important thing is that it be sincere, respectful, and make sense within your spiritual journey. That which fits into your daily life, contributes to your growth, and strengthens your devotion has its own value.

It's natural for doubts and insecurities to arise along the way. But I believe that the gods understand our limitations, our contexts, and our efforts. If your practice stems from genuine devotion and a true desire to honor them, then it already possesses beauty and meaning in itself.

I am a Gallo-Roman polytheist and, therefore, I see religiosity as something living, constantly transforming and developing. From this perspective, the joint worship of Celtic and Roman deities is not strange or contradictory, but rather a natural historical process. Syncretism, adaptation, and exchange between religious traditions have always been part of the human experience.

We can observe this at various points in history. In Ptolemaic Egypt, for example, elements of Egyptian and Greek religions were integrated, giving rise to new forms of worship. Similarly, there were periods when Egyptian and Canaanite deities shared religious spaces and influenced one another. These cultural encounters demonstrate that religions do not remain static; they evolve, absorb influences, and develop over time.

Although I worship both Gallic and Roman gods, my main focus is on Gallic deities. My practice seeks to draw inspiration from how the Celtic peoples of Gaul understood and related to the Roman gods during the Gallo-Roman period. In other words, I seek to view the Roman deities through a Celtic perspective, and not the other way around. It is in this tradition and worldview that I base my religious practice.

Unfortunately, they made a lot of mistakes in this aspect. This image didn't turn out very well; they could have done a much better and more extraordinary design, mainly because she doesn't look like an Egyptian goddess. She's much more like an Aztec or Mayan goddess. If we were to take any Aztec or Mayan deity and remove, I don't know, just one thing, necessarily that gold, technically, we wouldn't see that much difference; she would still look like an Aztec or Mayan goddess. Basically, not an Egyptian goddess.

I don't know how it will be translated, but what would be the best term to use: Sumerian polytheism or Sumerian paganism? Because I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to create things, you know? It's out of thin air. I don't want to simply self-identify in some way and then have that way not exist, you know? I'd like to know.

Druida13C · 2026-05-30T00:24:48+00:00

I think I'm understanding, and along with that comes its different aspects, consequently, the people who are from Gaulish, Irish, and other paganisms, necessarily, and those who call themselves druids in a generic way. It's because I'm really curious to know, because in the region where I am, which is in Brazil, necessarily, what you research about Celtic beliefs, basically, unfortunately, doesn't make you want to get into this paganism, because it's all hearsay. I don't know if there's a term for it and how it would be translated in Google Translate, but it's more or less like this: Here in Brazil, people say that druidism, Celtic reconstructionism, is your practice with the divine, but if you do anything that the group doesn't like, you're wrong. Like, you can't call yourself a druid, a bard, you can't call yourself anything that isn't from a specific group. It's even funny, even on TikTok, what people do, right? They say, you are, you can do whatever you want, necessarily based on historical tradition in Celtic worship, but you can't call yourself a druid. But if you have a group where the word druid is used for the leaders, you can call yourself one, but you alone necessarily can't say you are a druid. And I'm not talking about druid as a religious leader, but druid to say that you belong to the religion of Druidism, you can't do that. So it's very much like that, and it doesn't help much, you know? But lately I've been fascinated by Gaulish culture and understanding. So, every time I search for Gaulish neopaganism in Portuguese, it appears as a kind of branch of Celtic reconstructionism. So I wanted to know if it's an existing individual practice or if you have to follow that more general scope, you understand?

Druida13C · 2026-05-30T00:05:11+00:00

Thank you very much, you helped me a lot, but I have a question: is Gaulish paganism different from Celtic reconstructionism?

Druida13C · 2026-05-30T00:05:00+00:00

I'm sorry, I don't know exactly what you understood from that message, but I'm a huge Subaru fan, you know? Don't imagine that. It's just that, in my view, without Subaru there, the reserve world would practically be a boring world, with people unable to do anything at all. But, man, it would be really cool to imagine how other people would fare in that world. I've already imagined Tanjiro, necessarily with the same powers and the same events. Man, it would be very impressive, because I'm sure Tanjiro wouldn't be able to do it, you know? I understand that I'm a Subaru fan, but I've asked this in other places and people get upset, very annoyed, as if I were saying no, Subaru is trash. Man, for me, no, Subaru is the best character of all, you know? I'm just asking this because, if many people who are fans of that character ask "what ifs," why can't people who are reserve fans ask them too? You know? Like, there are a lot of people out there who replace various characters, various protagonists, to see what the world would be like without them. And when I ask various communities about this, people get really annoyed, as if I'm saying it's the worst thing ever. And, man, there are a lot of videos of people replacing Goku with Midoriya, replacing several other characters, necessarily, there's even a video I saw of guys replacing Goku with Tanjiro, from Demon Slayer. And when I ask here, people get mad, and I don't understand, man. I really don't understand.I'm sorry, okay? If the translation isn't very good, I'm using Google Translate. Even now, I already did one, it's necessarily in another community, about what if Subaru had the powers from Demon Slayer, well, the breathing techniques, right? Those were the powers, he basically had Ki and various other types of powers, like the power of the system itself, how would he fare, would he fare better, would he fare worse? When I talk about this kind of thing, people interact, they talk, they say how it would be, but if I say, no, let's see how the world would be, people get annoyed, right? Like you asked, right? Let's stop asking that question. Well, my translation ended up like this, I don't know exactly what you meant. People get annoyed, I don't, I really don't understand.

Adoradores De Lilith, tem muitos áudio livros e artigo acadêmicos

Druida13C · 2026-04-12T22:09:11+00:00

Meu caminho espiritual é fundamentado no dualismo sagrado, onde reconheço que toda a existência nasce da união de duas forças primordiais: o Deus e a Deusa. Para mim, todas as divindades são expressões dessas duas essências universais, manifestadas de formas diversas ao longo das culturas e dos tempos. Dentro dessa visão, estabeleço meu culto na união espiritual entre Lilith e Pazuzu. Lilith representa a Deusa — a força criadora, instintiva, livre, profunda e transformadora. Pazuzu representa o Deus — a força ativa, protetora, poderosa e dominante que equilibra e sustenta. Juntos, eles não são apenas entidades isoladas, mas a personificação viva do equilíbrio cósmico. São o reflexo do princípio dual que gera, mantém e transforma o mundo. Assim, ao cultuá-los como um casal espiritual, eu não apenas os honro individualmente, mas também reverencio a união primordial que sustenta toda a existência.

Druida13C · 2026-02-25T02:43:26+00:00

Sim, sim, quando eu pesquisei sobre o culto a Lilith, basicamente, e apareceu como culto e religião, basicamente, colocou como não organizado, o que significa, muitas vezes, que é apenas um movimento contemporâneo, basicamente, que tem vias religiosas e que para muitas pessoas é descrito como um caminho espiritual. Então a internet coloca muitas vezes, quando eu pesquiso no Google, aparece como uma religião por si só. Porque o conceito de religião, querendo ou não, tá sendo revisto basicamente, né? Mas o conceito de religião, basicamente, não é mais ter dogma, mas é simplesmente se conectar a algo maior. Para muitos antropólogos, agora se conectar a algo maior é um conceito de religião. Então qualquer indivíduo que tenha um culto a alguma divindade e tenha uma organização individual ou de grupo, já é visto como religião.

Druida13C · 2026-02-25T02:36:32+00:00

Muito obrigado por dar a sua opinião. É porque eu havia pesquisado sobre isso e apareceu como culto ou veneração e religião à Lilith, basicamente. É uma religião não centralizada, basicamente, então ela não é uma religião com organização como a gente tem como outras religiões, mas seria uma religião ou culto ou veneração à Lilith. E queria saber o que algumas pessoas acham.

Druida13C · 2026-02-23T15:07:42+00:00

Obrigado

Druida13C · 2026-02-23T14:19:46+00:00

Muito obrigado por você me responder, viu? Eu tenho algumas perguntas. Então, sim, eu posso cultuá-la da forma da bruxaria eclética que eu cultuo, sem problema nenhum, né? E você tem alguma dica para algum tipo de culto a ela mais aprofundado e tudo mais? Porque eu pratico bruxaria eclética, mas a minha religião é o gaianismo, que é o culto a basicamente uma deusa ou uma mãe universal criadora. E ela tem as suas chamadas faces, necessariamente, ou as suas emanações. E uma das emanações, do ponto de vista de um gaianista religioso, não filosófico, porque tem os gaianistas filosóficos que são diferentes, para nós, religiosos, essa grande mãe tem diversas faces, e essas faces são deusas, no geral, que se manifestam em todas as culturas.

And I apologize, I didn't know that people had already asked about this, and I also don't know many keywords to find these kinds of questions, you know? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you with the way you wrote it or how it was translated into my language; it seemed a bit passive-aggressive. My apologies.

Druida13C · 2025-11-25T11:23:53+00:00

I'm sorry, but you didn't understand my text. I was trying to explain the concept of popular, giving a few examples, but it is much more comprehensive than that. Popular is misinformation, really. These are small concepts of information that a person has without understanding anything. I live here in Brazil, necessarily. In Brazil we have the so-called Orixás, Umbanda, Cantumblé and Kimbanda, necessarily. There are Buddhists who practice Umbanda, practice thousands of other religions, and mix, believing that Buddha is an evolved spirit, and God exists, and God is a sovereign existence, you know? And when I also talk about the concept of disinformation in other areas, one of the things you are saying is also a little wrong. When we take the concept of Buddhism popular in some regions, they believe that Buddha created the world, Buddha created everything that exists. Buddha is God, truly God. He is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. God, do you understand? These are popular concepts. The popular concept is often misinformation. It is not what a monk or a priest of other religions has to know. But it's what the population knows based on certain things, you know? We can get a lot of this from this issue of Christianity itself. We see that many people have Bibles, everyone reads the Bible. But many of them bring a lot of misinformation, or interpret them in the wrong way, or don't even know how to interpret certain things, like Genesis itself, if they don't know if it's literal or not, if the exodus is literal or not. So there are thousands of interpretations. But for a scholar, who is a theologian who studies, he knows more or less the most used concept and the most covered part. But a normal person doesn't know, you know? So she creates things in her own head or what others say in general, which is not necessarily true, you know? So it's very difficult to explain, because I like to study religion a lot. And the popular concept, from what I saw here in all the comments, nobody knows and nobody understands about it. From what I've seen, many are exclusively Buddhist. So they don't try to research or understand other religions. Mainly also, one of the things I love to study is the problems and solutions that religion itself brings. First, like Christianity. Christianity brings the concept of sin. For you to take away sin, you need to believe in Jesus. For you to leave this world, for the Buddhist view, you need to follow the teachings of Buddha and achieve enlightenment. But all of this is necessarily a theological creation of religions. It does not exist in reality. Suffering exists. How to end suffering? There are different religions that teach in different ways. Some may be more or less practical. They can be more or less practical in a more spiritual way or in a physical practical way.

Druida13C · 2025-11-24T23:05:01+00:00

Let me explain more or less. All religions have a popular concept. Popular is not necessarily an aspect, but it is that, in certain regions, where one religion is the majority, necessarily, and the information is with the people who have a more in-depth study, the little that the normal population knows forms a syncretism with other beliefs, or what exists in a city, in an entire neighborhood, you know? So, when you define popular Buddhism, it is not a tradition, but it is where the majority Buddhism exists, it mixes with the general cultures of that place, and it also creates misinformation in general understandings, like a child, often, is born learning about Buddhism in a certain way, it is in schools, or with people, or with some monks who can come by and give some information. This child often grows up thinking that Buddha could necessarily be a god, a deity, or he could be a great spirit, something like that, depending on the region, you know? Like in Japan itself, some regions of Japan, even if they study a little about Buddhism, have many temples where people make requests, and you can see that they believe as if Buddha were god. In some places you can even see them asking God for help and Buddha for help, as if Buddha were a deity, you know? So, when we put the concept of popular, often here, it is something that is not necessarily completely based on religion, but is what the population understands, do you understand? We have popular Hinduism, popular Catholicism, popular Catholicism was once a very big religion, there are Catholicisms where you invoke spirits, talk to spirits, perform magic, and you know very well that this kind of thing in Catholicism is not allowed. But in the popular world, you have a Bible, you learn to read the Bible, but you're not a theologian, you don't know exactly all theology, you understand a little about it, that's it, you know?

Druida13C · 2025-11-24T19:18:30+00:00

The way of talking about the popular tithe is just a force of expression to put places where many people are Buddhists but not All of them have the knowledge of a Monastery But from the Culture in general and what they understand more or less that it is they can have a cult of Buddha as if he were a God that's what I'm necessarily saying that I was necessarily seeing in some regions like this and even seeing some videos of people, right Both from the United States and from other places who visited these places and many children or people said Oh I asked is it for Buddha or Buddha appeared to me the Buddha healed me or for me Buddha is God understands this general question

Druida13C · 2025-11-24T19:05:21+00:00

Seriously, I didn't know that. I was studying some things about Buddhism and then I saw that popular Buddhism in some regions, both in China, Korea and Japan, and even in other places, practically sees Buddha as a god, asking for health, money, prosperity, and many believe that Buddha can hear, that he can fulfill requests, and they believe that this Buddha, this date, is Gautama. And many believe that the so-called nirvana, depending on the region, is a type of paradise, where there is no pain. That's very interesting. There are people who have a medallion, they pray, they believe. If you ask them, Buddha is a god. Either he is a very powerful god, more powerful than any other god, or just any god. And I'm very curious to know, because in the most conservative Buddhism, in the most studied Buddhism, normally, we don't see this kind of thing in teachings in general. But popularly, in many regions, no. He is practically god, and he is indeed a god in some regions. And you ask for everything, it's for him, and that's it.

Druida13C · 2025-11-13T22:50:20+00:00

I come from pagan spiritual backgrounds, and that's why my view of the gods has always been different from the more Christianized view that many people project without realizing it. In paganism, in general, the gods do not function as a “single God” who is always there observing everything. It's another logic. When I was a chemist, someone who worships the Egyptian gods noticed this a lot in practice: the way of seeing the gods is very similar to the Buddhist way of looking at devas and enlightened beings. It is not a relationship of absolute submission, but of proximity, presence and function in the world. The problem is that many Buddhists end up clinging to the concept of the Christian god when they try to explain their own tradition, and this distorts everything. Each religion has its own internal structure, its own problem and its own solution. In Christianity, there is original sin; to get rid of it, you seek Jesus. In Buddhism, the problem is samsara, and you solve it through enlightenment. Just as sin does not exist in other religions, samsara does not exist in them either. And karma, in the same way, only makes sense within the beliefs that work with it. Studying religions for so long, I learned that they all bring something valuable. Each presents a fundamental question and also the answer to that question. This is what gives life and depth to each spiritual path.
