2.  What do you think you need to learn from that Deity?

3.  Are they communcating with you on the level of maiden ... mother ... crone ... warrior ... father ... sage? 

Realize that THIS is how you identify your Patron Deity that is working with you.  We do not pick that deity, but instead, they pick US.  Sometimes , we think that different deities seem romantic or exciting to work with, so we try to match ourselves to them and actually ignore what is really pulling us to deity and the guidance that is given.  We can work with any aspect of deity when it comes to different intents, but the form of deity that is guiding us is shown in what we are.

4.  Think about this and give your  final thoughts on your Patron Deities.  (Keep in mind that , most often, your deities are ones of the SAME pantheon and are most usually mates.

Extra Credit Opportunity:

Watch this through the year.. feel and observe to see if it is the same aspect all the time.  THere may be times when differnt aspects are working with you.  Let us know when this happens. 

Give examples

Note any shifts in that department.  Write  indepth observations about what it is, why you feel there is a change in aspects, and how it turns out ... at least twice between now and the end of your training of First Degree.
