Do y’all refet to your deities by casual nicknames when talking about them to your friends?
for instance, I usually call Aphrodite “The Main” for some reasonKemetics do it a lot. I can’t count all the nicknames in use!
(I rarely use nicknames personally though)I call Hethert by Hathy or Moo Mom
I affectionately call Zeus, Papa or Sky Dad and Demeter, Mama or Grain Mom. I have other terms of endearment for the Deities I’m closest to. Rhea is the exception though, since I don’t really worship her but I have a lot of respect and affection for her. So because of that I reverently call her Grandmother.
Baepollo.
lol.My sibling calls all the theoi my “peeps”
…big z tho
Lucifer is “Lu” and Michael is Mike.
Pop Culture entities are The Gallery. :3
Anupet is Jackal Mom.
Osiris is Kingly Dad, or just Dad, or Mr. Wingdings if he’s giving me riddles.
I am so very, very Nicknames. Heru-wer is Bird Dad. Nut is…well, okay, Nut is boring, nickname-wise. She’s just Grandmother, or Star Mom (because lbr Star Grandma just doesn’t have a good ring to it). Then there’s Wepwawet, who is alternately Wep, Wepy, Wep-man, or Party Dog.
Heru-wer is alternatively Hawk Dad or Bird Dad, Hethert is Cow Mom, Hera is Peacock Mom or Bird Mom, and Hekate is Creepy Lady
Wepwawet is Dad or Jackal. Heru-wer=Big Bird. Odin is Himself or Old Man. I call two Goddesses Mom but otherwise They don’t get nicknames from me.
Sekhmet is Moms, Maaaaaaa, Mommy, Lion Lady. Ptah is maybedad. Heru-Wer is H-dubs or birb dude. Hathor is Holy Cow. Djehuty is just Beaky or Beakster. Anup is That Guy. Geb is geese guy or park face. Mut is Turkey Lips.
Bast is The Mom or Cat Mom for me usually
Odin is The Old Man. In my head I sometimes call Him Mr Taskmaster. Loki is Himself, or Trouble. Sigyn is Sweet Lady.
