Wiccan Stories

          Before time was there was The One.  The
One was all and all was The One.  The universe was The One, all-wise, all-pervading,
all-powerful, eternally changing.  Space moved and The One molded energy into twin
forms, equal and opposite, the Goddess and God, from and of The One.  The Goddess and
God were grateful to The One but were surrounded by darkness.  Save for The One and
each other, they were alone.  They formed energy into gasses and gasses into suns and
planets and moons.  They sprinkled the globes about the universe and gave shape to all. 
In the sky they placed a billion suns.  The Goddess and God rejoiced and were one.  From
their union sprang the seeds of all life, of humans that we may achieve incarnation upon
the Earth.  The Goddess chose the Moon as her symbol and the God the sun to remind the
inhabitants of the Earth of their fashioners.  All are born, live, die and are reborn beneath
the Sun and Moon.  All things come to pass thereunder and all occurs with the blessing of
The One, as has been the way of existence before time was. -Scott Cunningham 

CREATIONAlone, awesome, complete within herself, the
Goddess, She whose name cannot be spoken, floated in the abyss of the outer darkness,
before the beginning of all things.  And as She looked into the mirror of black space, She
saw, by her own light, her radiant reflection, and fell in love with it.  She drew it forth by
the power that was in Her and made love to Herself and called Her “Miria, the
Wonderful.”  Their ecstasy burst forth in the single song of all that is, was, or ever shall
be, and with the song came motion, waves that poured outward and became all the
spheres and circles of the worlds.  The Goddess became filled with love, and She gave
birth to a rain of bright spirits that filled the worlds and became all things, all beings.  But
in that great movement, Miria was swept away, and as She moved out from the Goddess
She became more masculine.  First she became the Blue God, the gentle, laughing God of
love.  Then She became the Green One, rooted in Earth, the spirit of all growing things. 
At last she became the Horned God, the hunter whose face is the ruddy Sun and yet as
dark as Death.  But always desire draws him back to the Goddess, so that He circles Her
eternally, hoping to return in love.  All began in love, all seeks to return in love.  Love is
the law, the teacher of wisdom, and the great revealer of mysteries.

WICCAN CREATION STORYLong, long ago,
the world slept in the arms of a dark void.  From this place of nothingness, Spirit drew
together and created Our Lady of Infinite Love.  She danced among the heavens Her feet
beating out the rhythm of all creation.  Sparks of light flew from her hair, giving birth to
the stars and planets.  As She twirled, these heavenly bodies moved with Her in the divine
symphony of the Universe.  When Her dancing quickened, She formed the seas and
mountains.  She chanted words of love and joy, as these sounds fell to Earth the flowers
and trees were born.  From the pure, white light of Her breath came the colours of the
universe, turning all things to vibrant beauty.  From Her bubbling laughter came the
sounds of the pristine running water of  the streams, the gentle lapping waters of the lakes,
and the roaring screams of the oceans.  Her tears of joy became rains of survival. 

When Her dancing slowed and She sought a companion with whom to share the wonders
of the world, Spirit created The Lord as Her lifemate and companion.  Because The Lady
so loved the Earth, Spirit made Her companion half  spirit, half animal so that together the
Lord and Lady could populate the Earth.  The Lord’s power moves through her and She
showers the Earth and all upon it with Her blessings.  Together the Lord and Lady gave
birth to all the birds, animals, fishes, and people of our world. m To protect and guide the
humans, the Lord and Lady created the power spirits.  These energies walk with us
always, though we often cannot see them.  Their speech creates positive energy, from
which we draw strength.  To each bird the Lady gave a magic song, and to each animal
the Lord bestowed instincts to survive.  The Lord is the master of the animal and
vegetable kingdoms, and therefore wears the antlers of a stag upon His great head.  This
half-man, half-animal aspect shows His great joy in both the human and animal creations
of the Spirit.
As the humans began to grow and prosper, the Lord and Lady saw the
need for healers among them.  And so they drew forth energy from the realm of angels and
from the realm of power animals and from the human realm to create the Witches.  The
Witches brought with them the wisdom of the Lord and Lady, the ability to heal, and the
art of magic.  The Lady taught the Witches how to cast a magic circle and talk to the
Spirit, the Lord taught them how to communicate with the energies of water, fire, air and
earth and commune with the animal and plant kingdoms.
At first, the humans accepted
the Witches and treated them fairly; but because the Witches were different, humans began
to fear the Wise Ones of the Lord and Lady, thus the Witches became the Hidden
Children, conducting their rites of positive energy in secret lest they risk capture and death
at the hands of uneducated humans. 
As the world grew darker with ignorance and
hate of human creation, the Lady took the body of the Moon to represent the gentle light
of Her perfect peace, and the Lord took the vibrant rays of the Sun as His symbol of
strength in perfect love.  And once a month, when the Moon is full, the Witches celebrate
and remember the blessings our Mother has bestowed upon us.  We call forth Her energy
to help us take care of ourselves, our families, our planet, and our friends.  Four times a
year the Witches celebrate the festivals of fire and honour the Lord and His love for us-
these are called the cross-quarters.  At the four quarters of the seasons, the Witches
honour the cycle of life and the gifts of the Earth with festivals to both the Lord and Lady-
signifying the balance they have brought us- the Equinoxes and Solstices.
The Lady
has many names- Isis, Astarte, Bride, Diana, Aradia, Hecate- and the Lady walks within
and beside each woman.  The Lord has many faces, from the strong Cernunnos to the
delightful Pan. He guards and guides us and resides within and beside each man.  When
thunder roars in the heavens, and lightning crack from the ground, the Lord and Lady
dance the divine myth of creation so that we may remember them and know that we are
never alone.  When the Sun rises each morning, we bask in the joy of His love for us, and
when the Moon moves through her phases, we understand the cycle of birth, growth,
death and rebirth.
When it is our time, the Witches enter the Summerland,  From the
Spirit that moves and flows through the Lord and Lady we continue to learn the mysticism
of the Universe so that we may return, life after life, to serve our brothers and sisters.  In
each lifetime, Spirit guides us through learning experiences, preparing us along the way for
our individual missions.  Sometimes we are born among our own kind, and in other
instances we must seek out our spiritual family.  Many of us do not remember our chosen
path until we reach adulthood, but others know instinctively of their heritage from the time
they form their own thoughts.
We are the Witches, the representation of the growth of
wisdom on our planet.  We are the Hidden Children, back from the dead.  We are the
people, the power, the change, and we have incarnated in every race and culture.  We are
the angels of Earth. -Silver RavenWolf
