One of the reasons mythology and religion exist is because humans desperately need to bring forth their unconscious, which houses autonomous archetypal entities. Since I wasn't raised in any religion, I've created my own and call it the 'Personal Pantheon'. This is practice more than a dogma and allows any user to come up and worship his/her own deities.

This woman here you might recognize as Padme or Queen Amidala. But for me, she's actually part of my personal pantheon. Other than the image, and her name 'Padmé', she is for me only partially related to Star Wars. For me she represents a regal yin voice inside of me that has the power to observe and let life happen without interference. Ever since I made her conscious she has become a true helping spirit to me in my daily life. I'm able to converse with her and she lends me her advice and presence. Every night I light a candle for her.

You may apply the Personal Pantheon for yourself to access any spirit you desire. Anything goes.
