Statues of Gods & Goddesses

A statue of a god or goddess is a small sculptural depiction of a specific deity from a mythological pantheon or religious tradition. The pantheon can be any of them: Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Slavic, or another. Unlike a nameless, tradition-free altar figure, it has a specific face, a history, and a range of concerns behind it. Such a statue is placed on the altar as a point of focus when addressing that deity — the figure keeps the practitioner's attention on one addressee while the work is underway.

The tradition of addressing a deity through its image is older than any modern shop. The Greeks kept statues of Hermes by the doorway, the Egyptians carved Anubis and Isis from stone and wood for tombs and household altars, the Norse cast figures of Odin and Freya, the Slavs carved Perun and Mokosh from wood long before these names ever reached a textbook. Statues of ancient goddesses and gods have kept the recognizable attributes of their traditions — they are what lets a figure be identified without a label, even now.

Which Pantheons Appear in the Catalog

A catalog like this usually carries altar figures of gods and goddesses from several major pantheons at once, the ones most common among practitioners. The exact catalog lineup and the availability of a specific figure are best checked with a practitioner.

• The Greek pantheon. Hera — patroness of marriage and the home; Athena — of wisdom and military strategy; Hermes — of travel, trade, and messages; Aphrodite — of love and attraction.

• Among the Egyptian pantheon, the figures that stand out most are Isis — patroness of magic and maternal protection; Anubis — of transition and the guarding of the dead; and Bastet — of home protection and gentle strength.

• The Norse pantheon. Freya — of love, abundance, and the war magic of seiðr; Odin — of wisdom, runes, and the price paid for knowledge.

• From the Slavic pantheon, the catalog most often carries Perun — of thunder protection and warrior strength — and Mokosh, of fate, the earth, and women's lot.

• Other traditions. Celtic, Roman, and other pantheons appear in the catalog less often, but they widen the range of choice.

There may be more pantheons in the catalog than what's listed here — if you're not sure, just ask a practitioner directly. Most deities carry several domains at once, and a single figure often covers two or three tasks at the same time.

How to Choose a Statue for a Specific Intention

Every deity has a domain. This is the area of life it traditionally governs: love, wisdom, protection, abundance, the passage between states. Magic statues of gods and goddesses are chosen by matching this domain to the practitioner's goal. A beautifully crafted figure pleases the eye, but the domain decides whether addressing a particular deity will actually work.

If an intention hasn't settled into a specific name, a practitioner in the showroom or in correspondence will look into the task and suggest a deity whose domain answers it. You name the goal first, and the image is chosen next — this is how choosing an amulet or an oil works in this catalog as well.

Material and Craftsmanship of the Statues

Statues of gods and goddesses in the catalog are made from ceramic, polymer resin, and metal. The material determines how clearly a deity's attributes read — a trident, a snake, a lunar disc, a hammer — and how the figure holds up next to open flame and incense smoke on the altar.

For an altar where candles burn or incense smolders nearby, metal and fired ceramic are usually more reliable than resin: a figure placed closer to the flame benefits from the sturdier material.

Accurate Iconography and an Honest Choice of Deity

We keep a few simple rules here:

• Accurate iconography. Esoteric statues of gods and goddesses show a deity's recognizable attributes — a trident, a snake, a hammer — at a glance, each pantheon with its own set of signs.

• Before suggesting a specific figure, a practitioner honestly looks into your goal and names candidates from several pantheons.

• A wide choice of pantheons. Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Slavic, and other traditions gathered in one catalog.

• Regular customers build up a cumulative discount of 1 to 10% on purchases, get promo codes in the newsletter, and receive an extra discount on the store's birthday.

• The catalog offers only original statues, with no replicas.

• Orders are processed and shipped the same day.

• The statues can be viewed in person at the showroom — Kyiv, Bessarabska Square 2, Metrograd Mall, entrance from Khreshchatyk.

Placing an order for a statue of a god or goddess takes just a few minutes right on the site, and we pack and ship it the same day. The price depends on the material, size, and craftsmanship: the exact cost is listed on each figure's page. If you're not sure whose image fits your goal, write to us before ordering — a practitioner will help you choose the deity and the material. And anyone near Kyiv is always welcome to see the figures in person at the showroom on Bessarabska Square.

What People Ask About Statues of Gods and Goddesses

These questions about statues of gods and goddesses come up constantly — in correspondence and in the showroom alike.

Do I Need to Be Initiated Into a Tradition to Work With a Statue of a Deity

No. It's enough to know at least the deity's domain — the point is what it traditionally governs. Formal initiation into a cult isn't required for this: many people keep a statue of the Egyptian Bastet or the Norse Freya without having gone through any initiation, and any explanations needed about a specific deity can always be gotten from a practitioner before starting work.

Can Statues of Gods From Different Pantheons Sit Together on One Altar

Yes. Gods from different pantheons coexist on one altar without trouble, as long as it doesn't create an inner conflict for you personally — many practitioners do this, keeping, say, Hermes and Anubis side by side. The one condition is to listen to yourself. If a particular combination of figures stirs resistance, keep them in separate places.

How Do I Know Which Deity Matches My Goal

There's no exact rule without a consultation, but the general principle is simple: tell a practitioner your goal, and they'll pick out candidates among deities from different pantheons. For the goal of "protecting the home," for example, several candidates from different traditions fit at once: the Egyptian Bastet, the Slavic Perun, the Norse Thor with his hammer. A practitioner in the showroom or in correspondence will narrow that list down to one or two options by weighing your personal task and the tradition closest to you.

Payment Methods for a Statue

You can pay for a statue by card online, by bank transfer, by cash on delivery with a 150 UAH prepayment, or in cash if you're picking up the figure at the showroom in person. The payment method doesn't depend on which pantheon or deity you've chosen — the rule is the same for the entire catalog of statues.
