Who to Pray to

Ello and blessed be! I just wanted to upload a little somethin-somethin about Gods, Goddesses, Dietys and what-not. 

First of all, you don't HAVE to worship or pray to one god and goddess. To do this, you would probably change your mind many times through out your time being Pagan. There are so many Dietys to choose from, you just have to keep in mind that they are there to pray to for their own reasons. 

Here are just a few of the many:
