SUMMARY:The Gods & Goddesses: Pagan Pantheons
DESCRIPTION:Join Initiated High Priestess Cynthia Calder for The Gods & Goddesses: Pagan Pantheons, a sweeping introductory class at The Zen Shop’s School of Witchcraft in Oshawa. This session explores how Pagan Pantheons—the divine families of gods, goddesses, and spirits—shaped culture, ritual, and everyday life across the world.\nFor thousands of years, people turned to deities to understand creation, nature, love, fate, and the afterlife. In this engaging overview, we’ll trace the big picture of Pagan Pantheons: the Olympians of Greece, the Norse Aesir and Vanir, the Celtic Tuatha Dé Danann, Egyptian solar and underworld deities, Slavic nature spirits, Hindu divine aspects and avatars, Orishas of West Africa, Shinto kami, and Indigenous traditions of the Americas. You’ll see how repeating archetypes—creator, sky father, earth mother, healer, warrior, trickster, and psychopomp—appear again and again, revealing shared human wisdom.\nWhat you’ll learn\n\n\nWhat a pantheon is and why pantheons mattered to ancient peoples\n\n\nCreation myths and cosmologies that echo across cultures\n\n\nKey deities and symbols from several Pagan Pantheons\n\n\nEthical, respectful ways to explore or work with deities in modern practice\n\n\nHow myth can support meditation, ritual, and personal growth\n\n\nFormat & who it’s forThis rclass blends clear teaching, guided reflection, and Q&A. It’s perfect for curious beginners and experienced practitioners who want a structured foundation before diving deeper into individual pantheons. You’ll leave with a handout of core terms, archetypes, and study tips, plus a preview of the upcoming classes in our Gods & Goddesses series.\nDiscover the stories behind the world’s sacred landscapes and meet the archetypes that still speak to us today through the living thread of Pagan Pantheons.\nSeating is limited.  You must register in advance to reserve your seat.\n\n
