Gaia? Rhea? Amphitrite?

It's as simple as that
So tell me I'm mad
Roll me up and breathe me in
Come to my madness
My opium den
Come to my madness
Make sense of it again."

Is Jason a choice?
How about Persephone, Seryn?
Serenity, I like the Artemus and Apollo idea for you and Ath. And what about Athena?
Sorry if I'm getting my Greek and Roman mythology mixed up. I was a math student, english class wasn't my strong suit.

I think you get to choose.
Yup. I have four patron spirits:
-Athena (goddess of wisdom/learning, invention, and strategy)
-Bastet (goddess of protection [especially of children] and cats [and thus, of the occult and being able to see/travel the Dark Places where others fear to tread])
-Coyote (the Trickster/Teacher/Guide, and another Walker-Among-Spirits)
-Puck (the Trickster, Mischief-maker, and Storyteller)
I am a modern man, a citizen of the world, and see no reason why I should be bound to a single pantheon.

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!

Why couldn't you be Aphrodite, Seryn? Have you SEEN pictures? You're way prettier.
But how about Demeter or Athena if I do Artemis? (But that would depend on me getting Ath to be Apollo. He doesn't like dressing up except for Halloween. And, it would be kind of ironic, vegetarian me dressing up as goddess of the hunt. lol.)
There are a bazillion people to chose from! You could be the fate that weaves the tapestry! I always forget what her name is.

How apropos!
Safe: Jason could be doable, though I dunno if he really counts as a god. What about Prometheus? That's be fun.

the three fates:
Clotho - spun the thread of life from her distaff onto her spindle. Her Roman equivalent was Nona, (the 'Ninth'), who was originally a goddess called upon in the ninth month of pregnancy.
Lachesis - measured the thread of life with her rod. Her Roman equivalent was Decima (the 'Tenth').
Atropos - was the cutter of the thread of life. She chose the manner of a person's death. When she cut the thread with "her abhorrèd shears", someone on Earth died.

My first brush with religiosity came after reading the Odyssey so naturally enough I chose Athena as well; she's the only one of the whole bunch that doesn't come off as a total twit. Later in life though I must admit that I've been a more faithfull devotee of Dionysus the god of getting drunk and going to the theater.

Gaia I like, and Amphitrite (though i can't say her name which isn't good) and Persephone.
As for Aphrodite, i think what made me squeek is that as well as romantic love it said she was the goddess of fertility and intercourse.
So how are you meant to incorporate that into a costume? (I vote for ignoring that element entirely and slapping anyone who brings it up in a comically priggish manner)
Anyway, moving swiftly on, looking for those tips pages, will post them shortly.
Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!
