Open To Questions - Tumblr Posts

Hello, so, I guess this my first like kinda official post that isn’t like- a meme or an offering?

I wanted to tell people that sometimes the gods are always with you. I am a trans man, but I grew up as a little girl. In my childhood I was obsessed with mythology and in particular, Artemis. I read every myth my 5th grade hands could get on and named each of my new video game accounts after her. I still have gamer tags with her name to this day.

As I got older, I realized that I am a man. And then I got into witchcraft and paganism. As I developed my practice, I wondered if I could ever work with Artemis. I put this idea in my head that I couldn’t because I was a man. I put this idea that she hated me and I could never work or worship her.

I’m here to tell you that is wrong.

Lady Artemis does not hate men nor does she hate me. She protected me my entire childhood and didn’t stop when I came out as trans. If anything- she supported me. She has always been there, much to my fears that she wasn’t.

To any trans men who feel that they can’t worship a god due to their gender identity, please don’t feel that way. Read into their myths, talk to them, I promise you it is ok.

And to Lady Artemis, thank you. Thank you for being with me and encouraging every step I take, even without me knowing.

So uhhhhh goes who’s now worshiping Lady Artemis?????
