The God and Goddess of Wicca represent the balance of the universe and they compliment
and complete each other. Two sides of the same coin. However, they do not represent
opposing or opposite sides. Both God and Goddess can represent the same things. Both
can embody nature or life and death, for example. They work together as a single force
within nature and the universe, yet separate from each other.
They are neither good nor evil for these concepts are human constructs. They are beyond
such concepts. They are no more evil than a hurricane or as good as a gentle summer rain
that waters human crops. They are creation and destruction, life and death, birth and
rebirth. They are the raging ocean and the calm sea, the hurricane and gentle breeze. They
are the embodiment of the universe.
These are from which all other gods descend. As humans we have needs and desires that
are best served by deities in which we can relate and understand. Such powerful beings as I
described earlier would overwhelm most humans in our ability to grasp such vastness.
Therefore we choose to focus on attributes we seek in divinity and we give them names.
Once named and worshiped these gods take on a life of their own and develop personalities
through the interaction of their worshippers. They becoming independent thinking entities,
yet they are still connected to the God and Goddess for they are part of them. Just as we all
are part of the God and Goddess.
Through our interaction with our patron gods do we discover the mysteries and discover
ourselves.
