I’m wondering where I can learn about like, godspouse courtship processes, marriage rituals, what might be required of each sides in a marriage/relationship, etcetera. Details like that. I get its individual to each Deity or spirit/entity and each relationship, but like, I’m trying to find specific examples.
To be clear, I get that this is a very personal thing, I don’t blame the sources I’ve found for not going in depth. I’m not currently trying to get into a relationship with a Deity or other entity, and I don’t think I’m receiving interest. I just keep getting fixated on this. For some reason I keep ending up down rabbit holes searching, wanting concrete examples, as if I do have a relationship to figure out, even though I don’t. Sorry, if that’s weird. I was just wondering if you had resources that could help.
Yeah! I understand the drive to learn more. If you ever find yourself wanting to engage with the practice with a specific entity, send me a DM and we’ll chat.
(You can also DM me to talk in general, I don’t mind that, and I don’t post callout posts unless it’s like the person who dated the ghosts of serial killers and was super racist. Community-level threats get @’d, not randoms with opinions I don’t agree with.)
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there aren’t godspouse courting processes or specific rituals, nor are there requirements. I can give specific examples (and I will) but there’s not… anything set in stone. Sorry.
I’m going to fictionalize and slightly dramatize some stories of people I know, with changed names and details.
You worshipped Cernunnos for years, getting into the practice because they reminded you of your childhood fascination with the woods and wilderness and learning about how to build shelters and traps and stuff. It started when you were 17 and were a “baby pagan,” just learning about how worship and spirituality might look to you. You grew up in a Christian household, so you just don’t know what to think or do. You make a habit of talking at Cernunnos over time, then when you get into spirit work, you start to get communication back (in signs, divination, dreams, etc). You joke and laugh and do things with Cernunnos, having fun with your godly buddy. One day, you’re chatting with a friend who brings up godspousing, talking about specific things like dating or flirting. You make a joke about how “if that’s godspousing, then you’ve been godspousing for at least a year.” Your friend internet-looks at you blankly. Oh, shit. You’ve been doing godspousing for at least a year. The next divination you do is effectively a smug look from Cernunnos and a request for a “real date”. Have you been dense enough to not notice they were FLIRTING flirting with you?
You’re a Hellenic polytheist and you have a broad group of deities you work with in various capacities. You’re fond of Hera and Aphrodite in particular, but you leave out offerings and whatnot when you want to appreciate the other deities. Or ask for their help in matters. You’ve been doing this for 10 years, it seems like. Since you were a preteen, and now you’re an adult. You’ve been seeing a lot of things lately, the same sort of symbols. Lets say it’s a specific fruit or color. That symbol has been popping up everywhere. What’s going on? You mull on it for a few months until someone gifts you one of those fruits out of nowhere. Confused, befuddled, you leave the fruit on your altar for Hera to have. Over the next week you get these feelings that something is wrong, and you ask a friend to do divination for you – your cards aren’t doing shit for answers. The friend says there’s a goddess that wants your attention. What? The friend also says that Hera is annoyed at you. You spend the next week pulling cards, looking into mirrors, analyzing your dreams before realizing she didn’t like something on the altar. The fruit, maybe? The mystery goddess comes to mind randomly. You look the fruit up and– of course it’s Persephone, why wouldn’t it be Persephone. You spend the next two years adding her to your roster of godly friends, until she starts dropping signs in your lap like mad. Daily, even. It takes another 6 months to figure out that she wants to *date* you. What. Why. How. You’re wracked with worry about hubris and guilt, before you finally give in and join a godspousing group at your friend’s recommendation. It takes you another 3 months to actually ask Persephone on a date. You do dates, shift her to central in your worship schedule, and…. just in case, you double check with Hades via divination that it’s cool. (It is. He gives his blessing.) After a year of dating her, you start getting ring imagery everywhere. Repeatedly. She’s proposing. You panic for another few months before writing out marriage oaths – no one in the GSing community ever gives their vows/oaths verbiage in full as examples to others, it’s a personal, sometimes sacred thing that we’re all a little embarrassed about, you just gotta wing it – and while you’re practicing, Persephone pops in your mind and says “I do”. Wait, no, that was. That wasn’t the real one. She sends you mental images of putting rings on fingers. You spend a few weeks discussing it with her (and panicking) because you don’t quite understand if it was legitimate or not, and it hurts your feelings a little that she just did it while you were practicing, but you come to the decision that you actually do like the idea of being formally married to her. So you decide it’s the for real one.
You’re in your early twenties, you decide your life is a bit boring so you decide to get into divination, specifically tarot. One of your dumbass woowoo friends you had a crush on was into them, and you kind of liked the art. In learning about tarot, you learn about witchcraft and crystals and stuff. Okay, sure. You’ll do that. In a year, you’re googling plant correspondences on tumblr whenever you cook a recipe. You always make your coffee with intention. But it still doesn’t feel fine? Something was missing. You get into the wiccan side of tumblr witchcraft, and start adding deities into your lineup, making altars and worshipping any one of them that strikes your fancy. It costs a bit of money but it’s worth feeling like you’re doing something right. Eventually that gets boring for you and you sort of move on to other things. A few years later you get back into the woowoo stuff, and start thinking about the deities again. You feel a little guilty but don’t get any closure about those worship relationships. It feels awkward. You swerve back into divination, choosing to pick up runes instead. You learn about how Odin is weird and masculine and can be evil. Whatever, you just want the runes. A few months in, someone questions an offhand remark you make about Odin being bad. You get corrected, learn a bit more about him, and… he sounds cool? You’ve known about the concept of godspousing for a while now, but you’re a little leery about the whole worship thing, especially since it didn’t work out last time. You approach Odin but you’re CLEAR you don’t want a relationship like a godspouse. You work with him for a few months. He shows up in your dreams as a variety of characters, you start to associate him with certain tv shows and watch those to bond. You started out fearing him a bit and worshipping him in a very rigid way, designing your own prayers and protocols, but now he’s just the weird dude that watches Warehouse 13 with you and calls dibs on half your nachos when you make them. (You eat them anyways.) Eventually, you have a dream in which he kisses you. Um. Okay. No. You ignore it. You don’t say anything to him, you just pretend it never happened. It happens again. This time, you sit down and have a conversation. You weren’t interested in dating him. He’s interested in dating you. ……. Well, maybe you’re interested in dating him now. After all, he’s not the terrifying figure you thought he was. You set a date in 6 months upon which you’ll give him an answer, and tell him you expect him to behave until then and any misbehavior means you’re booting him out of your life. He does behave, but another of your gods has to kick him in the ass for toeing the line. In 6 months, you tell him that you can date, and you set a bunch of rules out. No showing me imagery of the ocean or deep water, you have a phobia. No bothering me at work. Don’t send me sexual stuff unless I ask for it. He reluctantly follows through but he does have to be reminded. Eventually, you dating Odin is just. The thing that you’re doing. You don’t really want to label it. It gives you some amazing sex dreams and weird fantasies that you’re embarrassed about, but there’s a lot of people who think about Odin that way online, yeah?
I genuinely don’t know what information I can give you, but again, feel free to DM. Hope these were entertaining at least.

Hey- this is the Anon that just asked about Godspousing Specifics and Details. And you’re not the bearer of bad news! Maybe those weren’t exact processes and rituals, but the examples are very helpful. I appreciate it.
Hey, I'm glad!
I've told folks on the server to reply with their own stories if they want, and I'll add on more to that post when I can. I ran out of steam after 3 examples. 😅

This genuinely feels like you're angry at being parentified and turned into an adult too early, and you saw my post and are projecting your emotions about your situation onto me.
I was parentified too, I have a lot of childhood trauma. I get it.
But me saying that teens aren't authorities on religion and adult relationships IS NOT ageism nor is it saying that teens are stupid and can't speak for themselves and be smart and have good thoughts and opinions.
My opinion on this very specific thing ("godspousing aka religion and adult relationships") cannot be blown out of proportion into "leannan-sithe hates teens giving advice on the internet and thinks teenagers don't have autonomy and intelligence".
No! I'm just not fond of *godspousing advice* being given out by teenagers.
doubling down: 18 year olds should not be godspousing authorities because godspousing is religion + relationships, and regardless about your belief systems and spiritual education, an 18 year old doesn't have the adult relationship experience necessary to give adult relationship advice.
18 year olds shouldn't have enough direct experience in sex, kinks, adult intimacy, marital problems, kids or pets, or general adult partnership fights/drama to give advice on relationships.
Knowing about things and experiencing them are two separate concepts.

hey anon, I see your ask, I need to answer it next time I'm on desktop so it might be a few hours before I give a reply!

Are you intentionally ignoring all the times I've written SHOULD NOT instead of CANNOT?
It also isn't ageist to suggest that someone with a maximum of 2 years as an adult (18+19, in your case) is not a religious or relationship authority.
I know this is the lack of reading comprehension website, but it feels like you, as a bride of Paimon and a priestess at age 19, are determined to find fault in anything that says you might not personally be a religious authority.
Teens *can* be educated and learn things. But as I wouldn't go to you for demon advice, as you're a teen, I wouldn't go to someone who was raised Christian for 18 years for Christian theology advice, you know?
I wouldn't ask a 18 yo freshman biology major in college to explain genetics to me. I wouldn't ask a high school senior how to write a good resume/CV and score a salaried job.
Some things teenagers (18-19 included) aren't qualified for!
And stated-as-universal-fact religious/dating advice is one of those things.
In five to ten years you'll look back like "fuck why did I tell people to do that stuff??" cause almost all 30s+ people think about their late teens in that way, where they gave super confident advice that wasn't thought through.
Cause that's what your late teens are: years of overconfidence because you've just reached adulthood.
doubling down: 18 year olds should not be godspousing authorities because godspousing is religion + relationships, and regardless about your belief systems and spiritual education, an 18 year old doesn't have the adult relationship experience necessary to give adult relationship advice.
18 year olds shouldn't have enough direct experience in sex, kinks, adult intimacy, marital problems, kids or pets, or general adult partnership fights/drama to give advice on relationships.

There is no barrier to learning here presented? Just a suggestion that 18 year olds are not religious authorities nor do they generally have the relationship experience necessary to give sex/romance advice to others.
I'm not sure why you think I'm suggesting to never educate others, but I'm suggesting to use discernment and seek out resources that are from practitioners who have been practicing for a while.
The 18 year old in question was giving out incorrect information about godspousing, as if it were fact, and their intro stated they were very new to the practice.
I don't know about you, but I don't like to get relationship advice from someone who has only been dating 6 months, nor do I go to the preacher's teenage daughter for advice on my religious conflicts.
I'm always happy to answer questions about godspousing if you send me an ask or a DM. I should have anons enabled.
I am, by no means, claiming to be an expert or to be the sole authority on any of this! I just run a community-built godspousing server that's been going for 4 years. So I've learned a few things I can share.
But, for the love of all that is good, stop taking religious, spiritual, or relationship advice from 18 year olds on the internet.
There is no way 18 year olds have enough religious or relationship experience to give good "professional" advice, unless it's plagiarized from someone more experience. It's most likely crowdsourced from other similar age folks.
Discernment isn't just a spirit work thing. It's a real life thing.

saw a kid (17 y/o) wearing a black sun patch and i was like "kid, you are going to get your teeth kicked in" and he started telling me how no no it's important to him, he had a dream about-
no. listen. you're going to get your teeth kicked in. maybe some spiel about how odin himself said you would appropriate it for the good of all mankind (and the fact that i am Not going to assault a minor) will work to keep me from shoving you in the creek and jumping in after you, but it will not stop some people. you won't see some people coming. you're going to get your teeth kicked in.
do not wear a black sun patch. you'll get your teeth kicked in.

By far one of the DOPEST sheds found. This pic is very telling and shows sometimes the predator underestimates the prey; inevitably paying the ultimate cost. I can imagine seeing this buck stroll about with a rotting carcass hanging until it shed that late winter/early spring. Imagine all the doe loving it missed out on spooking the ladies with a predator puppet adorned its crown. (SRC: Urban Outdoorsman on FB.)

I'm always happy to answer questions about godspousing if you send me an ask or a DM. I should have anons enabled.
I am, by no means, claiming to be an expert or to be the sole authority on any of this! I just run a community-built godspousing server that's been going for 4 years. So I've learned a few things I can share.
But, for the love of all that is good, stop taking religious, spiritual, or relationship advice from 18 year olds on the internet.
There is no way 18 year olds have enough religious or relationship experience to give good "professional" advice, unless it's plagiarized from someone more experience. It's most likely crowdsourced from other similar age folks.
Discernment isn't just a spirit work thing. It's a real life thing.

The constant usage of "familial godspouse" baffles me when "godfamily" is right there and "godspouse" intrinsically involves an intimate relationship. Are y'all having some emotional incest with your godfamily or are you just smashing together two terms because it sounds more important that way?

Oaths are not inherent to godspousing. They're often a part of it, in the same way a marriage is an oath, but they're not required.
A godspouse is someone who has an intimate relationship with a god (or other entity), where intimate means sex, romance, or other close bond as you would a marital/life partner.
Familial godspouses don't exist. That's the kink of incestual relationships. Godfamily is the appropriate term; -spouse implies marriage or partnership in the intimate way.
Platonic relationships within godspousing are a thing, but it's more like a Queer Platonic Relationship. Most often people who use platonic godspousing aren't actually referring to godspousing.
The term you want with devotional is devotee or oathbound or worshipper or like. Any number of terms.
You're 18 and not an expert on this. You neither have enough religious experience nor relationship experience to be giving out advice about a religious/spiritual or intimate relationship topic. Please stop spreading misinformation about the community.
heya, quick question what's a godspouse?
Hiiii!!! I'd love to answer this question! Thank you for asking :)
A godspouse, to put it simply, is someone who makes a lifelong oath or devotion to a deity. This could be romantic, familial, platonic, or devotional. In many cultures, godspouses exist; it's only the term "godspouse" that is relatively new. For example, greek deities and mortals; nuns to Jesus; etc. Godspousal is not common, but it is possible!
If you'd like to see a more in-depth post on godspousal, I have had a few asks about it you can find on my page!! I'm a bit tired rn from readings, so I apologize for such a short answer. :(
Take care of yourselves! 🫶
