Unknowable Gods

This blog post by A Forest Door really encapsulated what I have felt since I started this journey. It seems I’m always running across posts or questions asking what the gods really are. The truth is that we cannot say with certainty. They are mysterious beings that surely exist and interact with us at times, but defy clear, objective definition. Still, if you have ever had a close experience, in ritual or out of ritual, you can never forget the feeling and experience that we have.

It’s true that we often try to box them into neat, little categories and descriptors. But it’s easy to forget as we study the mythology, they are beings that are as diverse as we are, if not more so. They are not going to fit neatly into a single category. The best thing we can do is study, learn, interact, form a relationship, and grow. The rest will be our personal insight.
