There are many paths that lead to understanding God and the Goddess. I have read, heard, seen many approaches to the Deities but none of them appeared right to me. I follow my own path, which is similar to wicca and yet different. I never could agree with their thinking, presentation of God and the Goddess in a manner similar monotheistic religions, I mean hierarchically. As a simple example, the dianic understanding of God as a son of the Goddess and as her lover. Isnt this conception of God as a son and a Goddess as mother simmilar to the conception of Jesus and the Virgin Mary? And this second part is also twisted, absolutely unnatural (son and lover?) because Wicca is based on the worship of nature. Even animals do not perform incest! Also they often speak of absolute balance, natural flow of things, and yet (especially in the dianic path) the Goddess is regularly put above God. But this is only my way of thinking and some things that I can not accept, but everyone has his own approach.My understanding is based on the absolute equilibrium. Can you not see that everything, absolutely everything has two sides? You for example : two hands, two eyes, two halves of the brain, then think about the plants, stems and roots, the leaf is divided into two parts .. There are plenty of examples, darkness and light, good and evil ... What has this to do with the Deities? A lot. Can you not see, that those two sides of every creature and thing operate in complete harmony, separate and yet one! Here's an example: male and female, completely different but still they can not exist one without the other.
It is the creation, perfection of the divine. By thinking about those simple things i started understanding God and the Goddess. There are two of them, and yet they are one. Life has been created by the unity of of the different.
You saw in the various mythologies of the world how many gods and goddesses there were. These are just names and aspects of The One God and The One Goddess. Because of this I do not like to call them by their names when I write about them. I only use names in situations when I want to invoke the Deities particular aspect.
