what are god-shaped thoughtforms? can you give me an example?
Pretend you got a wild hair up your a** and decided you wanted to worship a god of the Gael who is oathbound to the Gael.
They aren't going to answer, but you want Goddess So-n-So to answer so much that instead of actually talking to her, you end up talking to yourself. But you reject it as yourself and call it Goddess So-n-So.
She appears as the deity did in her mythology. Her temperament is similar to that presented in the myths. But it isn't her. It's a figment designed to look like her.
If the god isn't oathbound, how do you know that you're worshiping the god or just a thoughtform?
Wouldn't individual experiences with gods vary, even if they are similar? I know it's not the same as a thoughtform, but if two different people both worshipped the same Greek god, how could one say that their experience is closer to the "real thing" than the other?
Edit: Sorry, didn't see this...

How can you tell the difference between a thoughtform and the actual deity?
How do you test the gods in a respectful manner? Or would it be testing yourself?
