Day 6: Favorite Deity
Tough one really. As a kid I loved Hecate for obvious reasons. Her picture in the Deities & Demigods did nothing to dissuade me from my opinion either.
But it was Dragon #88 and Len Lakofka's Gods of the Suel Empire that introduced me to Wee Jas.
First I love that "Wee Jas" was a play on Ouija. She was like Hecate, only more D&D. I was a then (And still am to some degree) a fan of the Suel. They nuked themselves out of existance, but very soon in our games "Suel" became our Shang-ri-la.
I liked Wee Jas because she was a witch goddess and a goddess of magic. She was also a lawful goddess that hated demons and chaotic undead. Since I also liked to play wizards and Lawful Good clerics and paladins that hated undead and demons, she was the perfect intersection of all my interests.
Typically when I use her now she is a cross between Hecate and a little bit of Cardea.
