�The
Temple of the God
Welcome to the Temple
This Temple is dedicated to the god, one of the gods
of wica.
Who is the god:
- In the wican religion there are two deities.
Unlike religions such as christianity, these deities are not representitive
of the ultimate good and the ultimate evil. In nature, even in the entire
universe it's self, there is no such thing as pure good and pure evil.
Thus the deities also do not reflect this concept. Like all things in nature,
including us, the deities have both good and bad sides. Another concept
found almost every where in nature is that where there is one creature,
there is another of it's species of the oposite gender. As in nature, where
there is a godess in wica, there is also a god. The god represents the
hunter, the stag, the sun and many other aspects of the male and agressive persona (both of which we see in nature
) he is the alpha male of the wolf pack, the lion, the leader of men. He is the father of us all and also the son of the mother and her husband.
For further insight into the god and his role in the workings of the all, you should look to two sources. If you feel you need to read about him, try the book "Wicca, a guide for the solitary practicioner
" by Scott Cunningham you can find it in most book stores, but be wary, it sells out fast.
There is another way to find the way of the god. This is our most treasured asset as wiccans. The god is in all things, as is the goddess. Thus he is in us as well. Open yourself to the inner knowledge and outer knowledge of the world
around you, and you will find the god and the godess are both there. The god and the godess are what we need them to be. Now don't be fooled, we did not create them.
The god and the godess are like beauty, what is seen, and what is needed from it, is in the eye of the beholder.
Saddly, there is no way to describe the god or the godess to someone, for they are different to every person. This, however, is the true meaning of wicca. Wicca is not a cult where we all follow the ideals of some high
priest blindly. Wicca is what you make of it. It is truely a personal religion.
