When your doubts overwhelm
When you act out your fears
When failure drags you down
Call on Magni, son of Thor
From the Oak: Let’s hear it for the God!
Many are those that focus on female divinities, leaving male divinities in the shadows if they get mentioned at all. This is a shame. Here I will share my thoughts, stories and prayers on male divinities. Currently focusing on divinities placed in an atheist "graveyard".

I'm an eclectic polytheist whose main divinities are Heru-ur, Bast, Sobek, Yinepu Isis, Zeus-Serapis, and Yemaya. I'm a mother, wife and Librarian living in the Rocky Mountains stumbling on my path and wondering what the heck I'm doing. Blessed be.
Venus
sex and love
beauty and enticement
seduction and persuasion
victory and wine
these are your gifts
This is next divinity from the Atheist’s graveyard (#20) is one that I really was not looking forward to researching, more less writing. Add in my long and repeated bouts of insomnia just to make things more…interesting. Lucifer. The word means ‘bearer of light’, a Latin translation of the Hebrew and Greek words for ‘morning star’, otherwise known as the planet Venus. He is the Devil of the Christians, a god of Venus to the Greeks and Romans and a deity of enlightenment to the Luciferians to only name a few.
Axomama (deity #19 from the atheists’ god graveyard) is one of the daughters of Pachamama, the ancient Peruvian Earth mother. Her name literally means Potato mother. Potatoes were a staple food and main energy source for ancient Peruvians and still are for modern Andeans.

Very interesting! I never knew there were that many kinds of potatoes. Thanks for sharing
In Peruvian folklore, Kuka Mama ("mother coca") or Cocamama (Cocomama) is a goddess of health and happiness. The tale goes that she was accused of being promiscuous by a jealous lover. She was cut in half and her body planted like a seed which grew into the first coca plant. It is said that the leaves should only be chewed by men after they have satisfied a woman’s sexual needs. Other sources describe her as benevolent and beneficial Nature divinity. I couldn't find much more than that on this deity but I did find quite a bit on coca.
The problem I am running into, as I try to fulfill my promise of writing something for each of the divinities placed in the atheists’ “god graveyard”, is trying to find enough information on some of the divinities. For them, I tend to resort to poetry and prayers. The Incan/Aztec divinities have been especially hard. As everywhere I look, there are the same miniscule bits of information, repeated over and over. Not complaining, just stating the challenges I have faced in order to fulfill my promise. This week’s divinity (#17) is Chasca, Incan goddess of dawn and dusk, symbolized by the planet Venus.
Inti is divinity #16 from the gods of the “graveyard”.
