Gods


He stood in his garden, on the freshly tilled soil. In his right hand he held several seeds which he raised up to the sky and dedicated to Bel and asked that the seeds would grow into healthy plants that would bare many fruits. Feeling satisfied that the god had heard his plea, he knelt down, placing one seed in the ground at a time, saying a blessing as he covered each seed. Even though we cast spells and make things happen, we are not all-powerful. Just like in every other religion, we have gods and goddesses which watch over the happenings here on Earth.

You may notice that on the following lists, I have dieties from cultures other than the Celtic. It is believed by many that all gods are parts of one god, and that all goddesses are parts of one goddess, and that the God and Goddess form a union simply called the Creator. So, it is OK to call upon any god(dess) that you are most comfortable with. An example would be that I am most comfortable calling on Danu, the Celtic mother goddess, and I can prove that I am a decendant of the Celts. My friend is most comfortable calling on Seth, an Egyptian god of mischief, she was actually born in Iceland and is clearly not Egyptian.
