#janus deity

We need a little more Janus rep in the pagan community 🫶🌈

yes we do! but i've noticed that people tend to stick with pantheons they're more familiar with ((i.e. greek and norse)) which is 100% not a bad thing,, but there are more than just the 12 olympians and the aesir out there to worship and work with!

hi i hope you have a good day! I have a question regarding something because I see you worship deities including deity Janus :DD I am a roman polytheist and I just realized that in roman tradition that you have to offer to Janus first before any other gods. I have been worshipping 3 deities from the roman pantheon for months and I didnt know this beforehand 😭 What should i do? Thank you so much in advance <33

hello!! i hope you had a good day ((i’m responding to this as it’s 10:30pm in my area))

just as a foreword, you don’t have to incorporate traditional practices into your own practice, BUT — if you want to stick to a more traditional route, i’d say you should just reach out to him. leave him an offering of any sort and apologize/clarify that you didn’t know about that tradition beforehand. janus has never struck me as a scary deity, in fact he’s always been very understanding in my experience!

just be open and honest with him! he’ll appreciate the thought :)

showing the bracelets I made for Vesta and Janus! I didn’t have enough of the letter beads to make their full names, so I used the first letter of their names.

Trying to look up Janus and Vesta’s color associations so I can make bracelets for them but I can’t find much sources on it :/

I thought I didn’t have enough space to make more altars but I was able to make an altar for Vesta on the windowsill and an altar for Janus on my cabinet. They’re very small for now but I’ll be looking for things to add to them!

I’ve created a devotional playlist for Vesta and now it’s time to create one for Janus :3
