In Wicca, there is one great and supreme deity, known as The One or The
Spirit. This
concept of simply one great being is very difficult to grasp, no
matter
what religion you are. Even in Christianity this idea has become the Trinity
theory of the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three in one. Wiccans have a similar belief of
the Goddess
and God being part of a greater entity. For a little more on how the Goddess
and God
relate to The One or The Spirit, see the Wiccan
creation
stories.
Pagan religions, Wicca included, worship and recognise
numerous gods
and goddesses and it may seem a bit odd to refer to just two. The theory here
is this: that and goddesses and it may seem a bit odd to refer to just two. The theory here
every god and goddess, humans included (though to a lesser degree) are part of
The Goddess and God. This is why many gods and goddess are
referred
to as, for instance, "the hunter aspect" of the Goddess. Some Wiccans choose
to
associate just one particular god or goddess with the idea of
The God or
Goddess and some prefer to associate with specific deities to whom they feel a
particular
closeness and spiritual connection. In this way, the Wiccan tradition we
practise today is
new. In older times, "witches" simply recognised the God and Goddess and
terms and
identities for opposing forces of nature in an attempt to understand them.
These gods and
goddesses did not exist before the creation of man. It was man, given birth
by these forces
and energies, that gave them names and identities in order to undertand and
acknowledge
them.
The Goddess and God, The Old Ones, have been given so many different
names
in various pantheons of belief that they have been termed The Nameless Ones as
well.
They have no faces, no appearances. They are everything we wish them to be.
They are
perfect complements of each other. They are equal in power, just as they are
equal in
love.More of my ideas
