Matron and Patron Deites

[DracoJesi]

Do you have a Matron or Patron deity?

They are to be found in all cultures. Put simply, mine are Lucifer and Lucifera, the God and Goddess of the mysteries. Lucifer (masculine) and Lucifera (feminine) meaning "light bearer", of illumination, gnosis and synonymous with "torch bearer"; the torch being a sign of the mysteries and of following of ones fire. The aspect of Lucifer I resonate the most with is an aspect of Pan-Lucifer, known as Baphomet, whom technically is both Lucifer and Hesperus as well as Pan. Often seen as wed to Diana Lucifera, Daian inherited this title from Hekate from her aspect of Hekate Lucifera, whom the Greeks called Hekate Phosphorous. To the Egyptians they were known as Khnum and Heqet.

Aradia is the Goddess incarnated on Earth,
Likewise is Tubal Cain a vessel of the God, whom taught man of the fire.
However, the God incarnate is called Cernunnos

This rounds out the supernal (third degree) and first degree names I use.
For working on the second degree level, and working on the inner planes we each have personal for God and Goddess we use. I have chosen to use the names of gender-polarized divinity from my Cherokee heritage- that of Selu and Kanati, which is appropriate for several reasons, especially considering we work on the inner planes.

And, things reverse here. In the Cherokee system the Moon is the masculine role, and the Sun the feminine role. Whereas Cernunnos or "John Barelycorn" as he is affectionately known, represents the grain of the harvest crop, it is Selu (corn Mother) who takes this role in the Cherokee round.

Thus in my workings:

Aradia and Cernunnos - Outer Order - First Degree Workings
Selu and Kanati - Inner Order - Second Degree Workings
Hekate and Baphomet - Supernal - Third Degree workings.

And a note on the Hekate (Phosphorous) and Baphomet - they each of taken in the other gender representing the union with their animus or anima as one.

There are also seasonal aspects I work with.
Janicot and Vindos for the God
Kolyo and Goda for the Goddess
Representing the dark and light aspects respectfully.
