The Goddess has dominion over the earth, sea, and moon. A few of her creatures include rabbit, bear, owl, cat, dog, cow, dolphin, lion, horse, scorpion, spider, and bee.
The Goddess is the weaver of life and death. We can see the Goddess in all of these things and in Goddess' of times past. Many Wiccans will pick the name of a God/dess as their magikal name to evoke him or her in ritual such as Pan, Hecate, Isis, Diana, Athena or Lugh. Symbols that honor and represent the Goddess are the cauldron, bell, 5 petaled flowers, silver, the mirror, pearl, and seashells.
The God is Father Sky. He is represented by the sun, rising and setting in the endless cycle that governs life. Without the sun there would be no life so it, just like the God, is the lifeforce. The yearly cycle of greening, maturation, and harvest have long been associated with the God(Sun). He has domain over the forests, deserts, stars and mountains. The God is also the keeper of wild animals.
As the horned God he is sometimes seen with horns on his head which represents his connection with these animals. Some of his creatures include the bull, eagle, lizard, wolf, dragon, dog, snake, and boar.
With the Goddess, the God celebrates and rules sex. Since it brings pleasure, perpetuates our species, and brings new life, it is thought of as sacred. Symbols that honor and represent the God are horns, knife, wand, candle, gold, and the diamond.
