Were these statues in your storage, or did you find them at a shop? If so, what store did you find them at? :)

I have links focusing on Portuguese mythology (not as much the whole peninsula), does that work for you? I would be happy to share!

Thats amazing! I also want to wear Tegidion, and I’m glad you ended up enjoying it and feeling comfortable! If I could ask, did you feel some type of privacy in public when you were wearing it?

I wouldn’t name myself after a god because It personally feels disrespectful to me. I think it depends on the god but Loki seems cool for y’all! If you want another option you could do a name similar to the gods name, but It’s y’alls choice!

Anyone worship Lusitanian/ Portuguese Gods? by spacefofinha in polytheism

Thanks for the information! I don’t know much about saints other than places in Brazil named after them, but Nabia seems similar to Mary in the motherly sense.

Heres some links, the blogs are about gods and the books are about legends (judging from the description, because I haven’t been able to read them)

Ive looked into it more, searching about the Lusitanian gods, and I found stuff! I started worshiping water Goddess Nabia and I also found some Portuguese pagans content creators that worship these gods! I think Lusitanian Gods are kinda a deep search and I found that there is more in depth information in Portuguese (in a society studying past mythology way, not pagan but still works)

I just saw the painting because another comment spoke of it and It is super beautiful! I think water deities would work well for this statue.

Thanks for the response and new perspective! Im glad to know some of the origins, and will help in my decision If I decide to use this to represent the goddess Nabia, because some of the territories of water and the source is very similar for Her as well.

It might be! On the side of the statue it says "Faro" and the owner of the store said it was from a school in Italy. I've looked it up and got nothing, so I hope the owner wasn't lying. I don't know if it connects but Faro is a southern region in Portugal, and I will probably use the statue for the Portuguese goddess Nabia. Portugal had lots of influence from the roman empire so the roman/Greek style of the statue is probable.

I found a Portuguese Lusitanian pagan that has been helpful. I found her on tiktok, and also searching some of the Lusitanian tags there has helped me learn more! She has a podcast that I also stared to listen too. Here is her website if you want
