It's not just my family (primarily, my parents and big brother) but my former friends as well. A friend of mine thinks it's "funny" to ragebait Lord Zeus and Lady Nemesis. He asked me to do random shit with the Olympians, because he thinks my religion is a "trend"; it's really not. At the same time, another friend, who kept fat-shaming me for years, called me "delusional". All of my "friends" ignorance, fueled by hubris, was enough for me to snap. I blocked them, gave the silent treatment, and isolated myself from the group during recess.

My family is currently unaware of the fact that I have left Islam to join paganism and became an eclectic pagan, nor do they know that I have recently incorporated Lucifer, Lilith, and Baphomet into my practice.

Some men only worship male gods and figures, because they can't accept that women are creators of life. Goddesses (Hera, Artemis, Freya, Inanna, etc.) and religious figures (like Eve or Mother Mary) are underappreciated by THOSE types of men, because their insecure ahh hate it when the opposite gender is revered/worshipped for something greater such as the world's creation. To men, male deities/gods are representations of their virtues: authority, strength, courage, resilience, and the law. As for goddesses, however, they don't see the significance of these deities, because a goddess doesn't possess their ideal qualities. They think that love, beauty, creation, life, fertility/procreation, harmony, knowledge, and virginity are useless. On occasions, they even dared to distort the stories of goddesses, twist their image, and also make them appear inferior to male deities. Heck, there are times where they violate the statues.

As a dude who worships Mother Gaia, Hestia, Brigit, Artemis, Devana, Aphrodite, and the like, I believe that women are incredible in their own ways and should be praised not only for their talents, but also for their natural association with life, fertility, motherhood, nurturance, and strength. We should thank Gaia for bringing life into her body (the world), Hera for punishing unfaithful or abusive husbands, Artemis for protecting young maidens, the Triple goddess for allowing us to see the magic of nature, and of course, Eve for inventing clothes.

Goddesses and women from different cultures/religions are equal to gods/men in terms of power. Unfortunately, misogynists refuse to accept that, so instead they turned them into servants who always get the short end of the stick with the gods. Gaia's body (the Earth) is constantly ruined, Hera gets villainised for her jealous rage, Artemis is stripped of her virginity, witches get burned at the stake for making herbal potions, and Eve is blamed for the sins of this world.
