The All
Wicca acknowledges a supreme divine power, unknowable, ultimate from which the entire universe sprang. (Scott Cunningham). We refer to that divine power as The All. Wiccans link to that force through their deities.
The All is an energy field polarized by two forces, the Goddess and the God, which in their ultimate being are aspects of each other. The God is a polar image of the Goddess. The Goddess and God are the same forces flowing in opposite but not opposed directions. That polarity creates the cycle that underlies the movements of the stars and the changing seasons, the harmony of the natural world and the evolution within out human lives. (Starhawk)
Wicca recognizes Deity as dual. It reveres both the Goddess and the God. They are equal, warm and loving, not distant or resident in "heaven" but omnipresent throughout the universe. The Goddess and the God are both within ourselves and manifest in all nature. There is nothing that isn't of the Goddess and God (Scott Cunningham).
The Goddess and God are the same force flowing in opposite, but not opposed directions.
The Goddess
"The Goddess does not rule the world; she is the world." Manifested in each of us, she can be known internally by every individual, in all her magnificent diversity. Starhawk The Goddess is the universe itself, not something separate from or superior to it. (Eileen Holland)
There are three aspects of the Goddess represented by the three phases of the moon:
1. Maiden (waxing moon) - virgin patroness of birth
2. Nymph/Mother (full moon) - Sexual temptress, she mates and procreates
3. Crone (waxing moon) - The dark forces, wise
The Goddess is the Universal Mother, Earth mother, The Lady. She is the source of fertility, endless wisdom and caresses. She is represented by the Moon. Her symbol is a moon with a crescent on each side - the triple goddess.
The importance of the Goddess symbol for women cannot be overstressed. The image of the Goddess inspires women to see ourselves as divine, our bodies as sacred, the changing phases of our lives as holy, our aggression as healthy, our anger as purifying, and our power to nurture and create, but also to limit and destroy when necessary, as the very force that sustains all life. (Starhawk)Here are three universal depictions of the Goddess: (From left: Spiral Goddess, Fertility Goddess and Gaia - Mother Earth.
The God
The God is the consort of the Goddess. He is represented in many versions: Pan/Horned God, Child God, Blue God and the Green God. He is Sky Father, The Lord.
The God is son, brother, lover who becomes his own father: eternal sacrifice; eternally reborn into new life. His story is told through the Wheel of the Year.
He is the tender of wild animals and is represented by the Sun. Fortunately, we don't need to wait for ritual to be reminded of God's presence, for he is all around us. His symbol is a circle with a crescent on top, like two horns - the symbol of Pan.
Here is a common image of the God in the form of Pan:
PantheonsSome people find lack of names for the Goddess and God comforting, like a lack of limitations. Others prefer names and associations for the deities in the form of pantheons.
Pantheons are groups of gods and goddesses, usually found in mythology such as Egyptian, Celtic, Hindu, etc. Some Witches work with pantheons, others work solely with The Lord and Lady. Some Witches mix and match to create their own pantheon. This works really well as long as you remember to never mix pantheons within the same ritual or spell work.
What working with a pantheon does is allow the Witch to call on a specific deity directly related to what they are doing. For instance, a Witch may want to do a spell of protection or health for their cat, he or she might call on the Egyptian Goddess Bast. It is much like the patron saints in Christianity.
