i am just discovering Paganism..qwik qstn 4 you please? do you beleive there is a difference between the Underworld & Hell? #2 Do Pagans in general believe in an Underworld or a hell?

[Pagyptsian]

@Gingerinbetween All Pagans will believe in different things about this. But the underworld is not hell. Most pagans do not believe in hell as that is an Abrahamic belief. The Underworld is a place of peace and death, in preparation for rebirth - it is not a firey pit of demons and so very positive Gods live there too.

How do you do your meditations? Just imagine the god or goddess?

[Pagyptsian]

@stars11234 I have done a video on it :) Check the description, I added the link there for you.

Although we sometimes differ in opinion, I really enjoy your videos because I learn a lot about mythology, which I've always loved.

I should say, it's an extremely valuable experience and info that you shared with us. Thank you for that! )O(

maybe Hekate is more then just a Maiden, Mother, Crone because shes the Goddess of magic and magic has many different aspects as well as power over all forms of nature

[Stepper11]

She's bifurcated because the same darkness that brings fear & dread can also bring life & solace.I know her as the life-affirming aspect of the darkness.Darkness can be a protective cloak.It can bring the peace of deep slumber.It can be the crucible of dreams.Our most solemn prayers are breathed into night’s dark veils. Our most intimate hours are those in night’s enfolding cloister. It is just as dark in the womb as it is in the tomb. That’s why she can be loved, desired, & feared all at once.

Well, now I am sad I have to wait til August to focus on Hecate (at least for this challenge). The new camera is on hold for now, but I am still going ahead with the challenge. This video is wonderful, great information and well thought out discussion. I do see Hecate as Dark Maiden. I chose Nuada of the Silver Arm and Sedna for January. It was an intense month. Both have sad, beautiful and powerful stories.I am taking notes. Hopefully I will be able to share eventually.

From what I know of Hecate, she is the maiden, mother, and crone, and she appears as all three aspects. What most people do not know is that She takes on all three aspects within the course of a day; in the morning hours she takes on the form of the Maiden, who is blonde; in the afternoon hours she takes on the form of the Mother, who is a brunette; and in the midnight hours she takes on the aspect of the Crone, whose hair is silvery gray. However, this is how She is explained to me. Great video
