[Opinion] Working with Animals Named After Dieties

[missinkblot]

Hi,

I am new here and have an interesting situation. I have a snake named Persephone and, in an animal communication, told me she carries or channels the diety Persephone. She also knew of situations specific to her, so i am sure it was her. She has expressed she is here as some kind of guide, and my cards affirmed this when I asked (literally drew "Guide" from Poesis Oracle. The image even looks like her. Can't be clearer).

I know animals cannot necessarily be familiars, but what does it mean for an animal to be a spirit guide? I have a spirit guide always by my side, and another to guard my quarters during magical work, so this is all a bit weird. I would mention i had a black cat act as my protector when I was a child, so I have always worked with animals in the spirit realm.

I don't generally work with Greek Gods but another animal communicator has mentioned another of my snakes named Apollo said I should look into it, as he also carries elements of his namesake.

I do not know how weird this all sounds, but thought I would ask. Has anyone had gods reach out via naming animals? I realized I named all my 7 snakes but one after Greek Gods, accidentally without intending too... lol.

I work with a little Jupiter and Kali right now. I have worked met Artemis once when I just asked her to heal an injury, then had a dream she came to me and broke my body into a hundred pieces (it was very painful) and woke up recovered. I didnt think too much on this, lol.

Based on what you wrote, it sounds like evocation. You are choosing this.

Could you explain this a bit more?

In the material realm, objects and events are defined by their place in time and space. This and that. Here and there. Before and after, etc. Beyond the material realm, there is no here and there, no before and after. All is concurrent and omnipresent. The energetic principles ( "spirits" ) are everywhere and simultaneoulsy nowhere. They are throuroughly assimiliated within the material realm while at the same time super-imposed spirit within spirit within spriit in a nearly endless mirad of angleic hosts emerging like petals on a supernal rose, her majesty, "reality".

Lacking time and place, beyond the material, concurrent, omnipresent, thouroughly assimilatied, super-imposed, AND emerging, blossoming? It's poetry in motion... a complex aroma carried by the wind. The olfactory confluence which produces fragerence is like the comingling of energetic principles ( spirits ) as they exist within and beyond the material realm. In the same way that one can recall a particular scent, an individual can recall a particular energetic priniciple. The most common recall is through the use of names.

Oh my goodness, that makes so much sense. I have been unconsciously evoking them without realizing. I suppose it is at least a direct line to working with them if I choose. Apollo was insistent I figure things out myself, ha.

Apollo was insistent ...
