@MeganB & @Artemisia… that would be a good way to describe my situation recently also that seems to be more ongoing than recent… 
Challenge Entry #1: Deities and Deity Worship
Since coming back to practicing I’ve learned quite a bit about a lot of different deities, mythology, and cultures. With all of their similarities and marked differences. I myself, love to learn about all kinds of things; so I will often learn a bit about a deity or deities from different pantheons and places than of who I work with in my practice.
My practice is hard to explain always has been and most likely always will be because it’s forever changing. My beliefs are tested, and the connections seem lost at times for no reason other than I have no time. The constants are that I work with an Irish pantheon, most of the Irish pagan and witchcraft beliefs, history, culture, and ways I connect with my entire being. The two Goddesses from the Tuatha de Danaan I work with regularly are Brighid and The Morrigan. Both are from the Tuatha de Danaan, and both have many similarities and differences, but they have gotten me where I am today in one way or another.
The Morrigan is married to The Dagda, and The Dagda is the father to Brighid. However, Brighid’s mother is never referenced in the stories, history, or mythology sources. It has been argued that The Morrigan is Brighid’s mother due to the similarities that they share, being deities of battle and transformation, as well as being triple deities, for example, so it would make sense that with The Dagda as Brighid’s father, she would be more on the healing or caretaking side of these things. The Morrigan is direct with what she expects and how to go about it, and has an agenda of the goal and what needs to be done to achieve it. Both are deeply rooted in being your best self and transforming into something new and within yourself. Both can be very thinking, demanding, or commanding. They will walk with you and guide you when they know you must do it and keep going. One is very direct and to the point, and the other is more gentle with her approach, especially when you need to recover at the end of the day.
I continually learn about these deities in the Irish Pagan and Witchcraft path. I have gone through source materials and studied original writings and beliefs. I have recognized what would be a modern representation of their original places in the lives of those who worked with them daily. I do not claim to be an Irish Pagan Witch solely, as I work with other things in my practice that may fall outside that description. Still, when it comes to my deities, I do my best to honor them for who they were and continue to be in a modern context without adding my influence to them or what I want them to represent. I will work with other deities within the Tuatha de if their skills would be helpful for my work, but I always include one or both of my regular deities in that same work.
