about our Gods

[Giulia Tofana]

I think we've been interpreting our gods a little differently lately. (if you think I'm being unfair, please tell me the truth about it, my friends.) Gods, whether in mythologies or in different cultures we accept, have always been beings who, if this is the right expression, 'are not afraid to get their hands dirty' and who do not care much about the ethical rules of people and cultures. we read about them in mythology, which is the part that I study in collage specifically, and obviously I see a paradox from time to time. whether it's the topic of sexuality, revenge, if necessary, violence and black magic, it's like we're softening up. Gods were always fighting with each other in myths and could make mistakes sometimes, even the myth of Lady Aphrodite and Lord Ares can be considered as an example. And in these cases, our lord Zeus would put them in their place. Mostly symbolic, yes, but can it always be as symbolic as it is said to be? Dionysus and Pan used to have sex parties, gods and goddesses were known for their high sexual desires, but our ethics now say that we should not go overboard and should be balanced. the habits and temperaments of our gods seem to be like, please forgive me, are being likened to the god of Christians from day to day. i feel like we forget that the gods are our friends and we put a great distance between ourselves and them. Every time I communicate with Lord Hermes, he is much more humorous, sarcastic and friendly, unlike the god figures described here. (By friendly, I mean that he talks to me like a friend.) For example, I believe that I have a very deep connection with Lady Aphrodite, and sometimes when I neglect my worship of her, she responds to me in a 'offended' way, of course these are just jokes. But in the forum they are always shown as unreachable beings. it's called here, I can't show it directly like look this this this, but I feel it a lot when I read posts.

(don't think I'm being disrespectful, I think the love I have for the gods has already been noticed by my posts. I'm just asking about the issues that are confusing my mind. I may be thinking wrong, I may have misunderstood.)

Myth is allegorical and symbolic. And yes the Gods can be friendly, but you should always treat them with respect
