Wicca is a Pagan, earth-based religion. It honors Nature and all life as Divine. If you want an even better–and more detailed–account, go to www.witchvox.com. Or you can just type in Wicca on Google and a bunch of links will pop up.

ANYWAYS.

I’m here to express my feelings about deity. To worship a Goddess, and a Goddess only, or to worship a God and Goddess?

See, I believe in balance; I think it’s vital. So, does that mean that a Goddess needs a God? Or is the Woman Figure in complete balance with herself, expressing independence and nurturing to the world?

I believe that the way one worships deity is a personal choice; and my personal belief is that perhaps the Goddess doesn’t need a God, her consort. She can just be all facets of existence.

In prehistoric times, a God was also worshiped because he was the facet of the Aggressor, the Hunter, the Man. And the Goddess was the Mother, the Nurturer, the Life-Giving Mother of All.

But isn’t there an Artemis in Grecian-Roman mythology? She was a hunter. She was portrayed as a “wild woman”, and never took a man. Some even say that she had many female lovers.

So, why not be a “Goddess-only-Wiccan”? (That is called “Dianic Wicca”) Using the Creation Myth story as “she gave birth to herself” or the Mirror thing. I think it’s more magical that way.

But what about symbolism? The use of magic relies heavily on symbolism; duality, as well. The elements–Fire and Air are masculine, and Water and Earth are feminine–have dualistic nature as well.

Well, with all that aside(I’ll figure it out later, haha), all the symbolism aside, why do so many make authors portray that a Goddess and a God? Does a woman need a man? No, she doesn’t. And a man doesn’t need a woman either. Every human being has all that they need within themselves; happiness, health, love, peace…it’s all there. If you try to look for something outside, you will never find it within.

Thanks, and Blessed Be.

Okay, so read this agian, and I realized that I failed to put in a thought about something that I really needed to say! xD

The Goddess: The absolute Dual Nature of everything. She is compassion and mercy, wrath and fury. She is a loving mother and a fearless warrior, Queen and peasant girl. The sun and the moon, the wind and rain. Every woman is also the same.

Women are powerful creatures, and without us, there would be no life. <3
