Thank you! It was very much a community effort, as are most of the things we do.
Although the Minoans were a Bronze Age culture, their roots trace back to Neolithic Anatolia, back to a time when agriculture was very new and older ways still held sway. The Minoans are unusual in that they maintained Neolithic religious practices well into the Bronze Age. Their neighbors probably thought they were a bit kooky! But that gives the spirituality a slightly different flavor than many people expect.
I find it interesting that the deities who resonate with you are among the more nebulous ones in our pantheon. They could be construed as not just outside the box, but not even recognizing the box in the first place - or perhaps a better metaphor would be that they weave the invisible tapestry that's behind the one we see.
