I never got into Goddess dolls until I made my first one for the "Who we are and what we swap" swap. I had soooo much fun making her. When trying to figure out what a Goddess doll exactly was, I saw a website that also included God dolls. That got me all excited since my primary deity is Odin and they had a doll for him!

So, make a Goddess or God doll for your partner related to their theme. Put in the comments what you want your theme to be, which gender you prefer your Deity Doll to be, and anything else. Themes can be just about anything - a deity, an element, a sabbat, an animal, something from nature, spirals, etc.

This may be a challenge for some themes and some of us are amateurs, but people here are nice and understanding and I'm sure will love what they receive even if it's not necessarily what they envisioned.

Here's a site with patterns

Any other links people may have, also feel free to add them in the comments. To make links clickable, put the description in brackets [] and then right afterwards (with no spaces) put the URL in parentheses ()

I would like a Yemaya Doll. Should be simple...blues and mermaid!

I would like a Goddess Epona doll

I'm into Mother Nature. I will, however, cherish and appreciate whatever you would like to make me.

Is there a suggested size?

orcasong 06/18/2008 #

I was thinking around dotee sized since the patterns on that one site seemed to be about that sized.

Thanks everyone for joining! I could have so much fun making any one of those dolls listed!

I would love an Athena doll :) But, please feel free to be creative and make me whatever you wish - it will be much appreciated and loved.

I've been working with 2 little know Celtic Goddesses but if you would like to make some one else I am so very cool with that too :-)

Rosmerta -In Gaulish Celtic mythology, Rosmerta was the goddess of fire, warmth, and abundance. A flower queen and hater of marriage, Rosmerta was also the queen of death. A Celtic goddess of fertility and wealth, whose cult was widely spread in Northeast Gaul. Rosmerta was the wife of Esus, the Gaulish Hermes. Her attributes are a cornucopia and a stick with two snakes.

Mala Liath - (Scottish) [MAH-lah LEE-ah] Another name for the Cailleach in southwestern Scotland. She tended a herd of pigs all sired by the famous wild boar of Glen Glass. She is often equated with Cerridwen.

I am pretty much open to anything, but some theme ideas for me would be spirals, odin (or norse mythology), the moon, or something incorporating eastern religion.

Oh I almost forgot Gaia! I would love to receive a Gaia doll.

I'd love to get a sea God/Goddess like Neptune or a Celtic inspired one or even an Egyptian deity ( my favourite is Horus ) but since there are so many deities that I'm attracted to I'll appreciate the one you get the inspiration from. That will be the right one for me, I'm sure.

I'd love a Venus of Willendorf! I am also into Gaia though. :)

I am feeling in need of Yemaya energy these days. :0)

I am pretty open to whatever my partner chooses so surprise me.

Unfortunately I have to drop because my husband and I are separating and I just will not be able to think of swaps right now.

orcasong 07/15/2008 #

So, despite originally doing this wanting an Odin doll, I changed my mind. :) I'd actually rather have one for either Sophia or Frigg.

orcasong 08/15/2008 #

Since only two have sent, I decided to extend it another 5 days. It seems people may need more time. :)

Santa 08/21/2008 #

Is this swap still going on? I 've seen that most of the people haven't sent and maybe should need more time. It's fine for me but, please, if you have to send something to someone and you need more days just pm the person in order to let her know. Thanks.

orcasong 08/21/2008 #

I'm finding in a lot of my swaps people are being swamped by everyday life stuff coming up all of a sudden, myself included. I extended the date by 5 days last week but I'll extend it to the end of the month for people. Thanks so much to those of you who have already sent! And thanks Santa for letting me know that extending the date may be needed. I think next round of the swap I'll allow more time from the beginning.
