A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
Nothing is so pleasing to these gods as the butchery of unbelievers. Nothing so enrages them, even now, as to have some one deny their existence.
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator

"#Circe’s most distinctive trait, however, is not her parentage but her persona. While many #deities and their offspring wielded brute force or commanded the elements, Circe’s authority was embedded in her mastery of #magic. She was a mistress of #transformation, capable of turning men into beasts and bending nature to her will. Unlike the gods she was descended from, Circe wasn’t born with power. No, she had to study to gain it. She had to educate herself in a world in which #women weren’t meant to expand their knowledge in such a way. She learned the properties of herbs, the secrets of the earth, and the subtle art of #potionsandspells. This marked her as a dangerous figure in #Greekmythology—a #woman who was willing to level herself up in spite of common expectations."

I was raised #Catholic. I currently identify as #agnostic #pagan. Which is say, that #gods or #deities, or whatever exist because people treat them that way. Like how we have seven-day weeks, and 24-hour days. And, if treated as #metaphor for "stuff that exists/happens that I/we don't understand," makes #religion as a concept somewhat sensical.
The best book about #Jesus and/or #Christianity I have encountered is _Jesus for the Non-Religous_ by John Shelby Spong. I'll put a Libro.fm link at the end.
Spong takes the reader through the #Jewish liturgical year, connecting the gospels and their stories to the various Jewish holy days. Because not only would a historical Jesus have been a #Jew, the disciples would also be Jews who follow Jesus. Whether Jesus was a historical person or not, the disciples are certain they had an important experience together, and that experience is Jesus-shaped.
The gospels are about this true thing that cannot be explained. It changed the lives of the disciples, and it is Important.

OSE Deities – Danu
Introduction
In support of my campaign world for Old-School Essentials, I have been creating a set of deities that rule over the world of The Dungeon of the Gods. This week the focus is on the deity Danu, and a post that I’ve been working on for weeks.
Taken from Dehio, G. and von Bezold, G.: “Die Kirchliche Baukunst des Abendlandes” (1884)Danu (Mother of Knowledge)
Alignment: Law
Portfolio: Motherhood, Wisdom, Knowledge, Sovereignty, Nature, Water, Air
Followers: Mothers, rulers, sages, rangers, elves, fae
Symbol: A triskele (tris-kee-lee) “triple spiral”
Favored Weapon: A rodDanu (DAN-oo) is often depicted as a triple goddess (maiden, mother, crone). There is also recognition that she is a shapeshifter, so sometimes she is depicted as an animal wearing a crown, or holding keys. She is the patron deity of elves, fae, and many other sylvan related beings in the world.
When presenting herself as a maiden, she is believed to behave in a tempestuous manner, prone to rapid and dramatic changes in her mood when dealing with others. In her mother persona, she watches over all as if they were her children. Her crone presentation has the grand matriarch kind of behavior where she has a sharp tongue and doesn’t have any reticence to ensure everyone stays inline with her expectations.
Key holidays for Danu are the transitions between the seasons (equinoxes and solstices). These are the times when followers of Danu typically make sacrifices to curry her favor for the coming season. These ceremonies frequently take place in locations where both trees and water are present, such as a riverbank.
Homage is paid to Danu with sayings such as “Diligence is the mother of good fortune,” “Knowledge in youth is wisdom in age,” and “Water is the lifeblood of nature.”
Followers of Danu strive to live and promote the four tenets of Danu:
- Recognizing the sanctity of nature and the preservation of natural habitats.
- Adopting sustainable agriculture and forestry practices.
- Valuing biodiversity and protecting endangered species.
- Promoting environmental education and awareness.
Interactions of Danu
With Divine Beings
Even other deities seek Danu out for her wisdom, to help guide them through difficult choices that they may face. Some will even enlist her to support them in their relations with other deities.
With Mortals
Many mothers say prayers to Danu to protect their offspring, or to give themselves or their offspring guidance in trying times. Danu’s name is sometimes invoked to swear people into positions of authority.
Clerical worshippers of Danu gain the following traits as they earn the ability to cast spells of certain levels:
1st level spells: A streak of green in hair.
2nd level spells: Skin gains a hint of blue.
3rd level spells: Lustrous, green hair.
4th level spells: Pupil-less eyes become sky-blue in color.
5th level spells: Shadow contains triskele shapes within it.Additionally, the clerical worshipers of Danu have access to the following alternative spells:
Water Float: 1st level, replaces Detect Evil.
Nurture: 2nd level, replaces Find Traps.
Know People: 3rd level, replaces Locate Object.
Air Walk: 5th level, replaces Dispel Evil.Blessings of Danu
The following divine blessings are examples of what may be granted by Danu to particularly devout clergy at times of stress, need, or as a reward for furtherance of Danu’s divine will.
RollBlessing1Add 1d4 points to Wisdom for 1d6 turns.2Add 1d4+2 points to AC for 1d6+2 turns. 3Those within a 15-foot-radius gain a bonus of 3 on any one save against any forms of mind control or fear effects within the next day.4All creatures within a 30-foot-radius view the follower of Danu as if they were a beloved family member for 1d6+4 turns. 5The follower of Danu’s max # of retainers is increased by 1 for 1d6+5 weeks. 6One container of liquid is changed into a filling and nutritious liquid called Mother’s Milk. This liquid is capable satisfying all of the needs of the person who drinks from the container.Spells of Danu

Range: The caster or a creature or object touchedThe affected creature or object does not sink into water or any other liquids for the duration of this spell, but instead will float and bob about on the surface of it. Objects weighing no more than 150 pounds per level can be affected by this spell.
Magic Items of Danu
The Decanter of Endless Water is viewed by the followers of Danu as a magic item of special significance.
Conclusion
Hopefully you can find a use for these rules that I’ve put together, and if you’ve got suggestions or feedback, please provide it. I’ll be using them as I construct the pantheon of deities for this campaign world. I’ll post the deities as I create them as well.
