a tip for beginners since it worried me when i first started: its important to note that while there are deities that are heavily connected to each other, you’re not obligated to work with both of them.
many people speak on specifically married deities (ex: hades & persephone, zeus & hera, odin & frigg). a lot of people refer to them as a “package deal” since they are heavily entwined. but it’s important for those just starting out, this does not mean you have to work with both.
as someone who works with hades, some of my offerings to him are related to persephone but i don’t worship her. in fact, when i had the opportunity to meet her and ask, she smiled and said, “you’re not mine”. we both mutually understood that we didn’t have a connection to one another but we have mutual respect and kindness for one another.
the “package deal” part is where i offer my coffee that is too sweet for hades so he said he’ll hand it to persephone instead. which is the cutest fucking thing btw omg
this is all just in an effort to say, please do not worry about having to work with two deities rather than one. don’t get overwhelmed.
"the game is your name, lucrezia. what is your name?" "lucrezia." "lucrezia who?" "borgia." "yes. borgia. do you understand? you are a borgia. you can have both, lucrezia borgia."
[id: It’s a drawing sheet of Kugisaki Nobara as a third year. She is drawn with brown skin and buzzed, pink hair which has heart patterns bleached into it. The first drawing is a half body where she is resting on arm against something flat while her free hand is holding onto her hammer. She is dressed in her uniform though her jacket is open and the first few buttons of her shirt are undone giving her a casual look. The second drawing shows details of the back of the haircut, fully displaying the heart shapes. The last drawing is a side profile of her where she is smiling. She is also drawn with heart earrings and a second piercing + industrial piercing in her right ear. /end id]
