As I continue to develop and strengthen my witchcraft. I want to continue to build my pantheon. I began with Aphroditus and then added Lakapati and then Hapi. Doing my reaearch I cane across another Goddess, Xochiquetzal, from pre European invasion of the Americas. The Aztecs worshiped a deity, Xochiquetzal, who was the goddess of non-procreative sexuality and love, and both female and male at the same time. In her male aspect, called Xochipilli, was worshiped as the deity of male homosexuality.
My goal has been and will continue to be diverse and Queer. Aphroditus is from Cyprus, Lakapati from the Philippines, Hapi from Egypt and Xochiquetzal from Mexico. All three are depicted as both female and male and all four have been identified as either transgender or hermaphrodites.
My goal is to not worship them as I am not a pagan, but to use their energy and what they represent to empower my witchcraft and magick.
