The Divine, God and Goddess

The Divine
 We witness the Divine all around us.  Whether you perceive it as God, Goddess, or anything else is ultimately up to how you interpret the world as you see it.                                                                                                                                                  
The Divine is the fabric from which the universe is made.  It is everything material in the world, everything living.  It is every person.  It is Life, and thus all Life is sacred.  We cannot possibly understand all that which is the Divine.
I choose to interpret the Divine as I see it in nature and all around me – in the form of male and female, the God and Goddess.


The Goddess
The Goddess is the Queen of All, she who encompasses and conceives all life. 
She is the Maiden, representing enchantment, inception, and expansion, the promise of new beginnings, birth, youth, and youthful enthusiasm.  She is the waxing moon.
She is the Mother, representing ripeness, fertility, sexuality, fulfilment, stability, power, and life. She is the full moon.
She is the Crone, representing wisdom, repose, death, and endings. She is the waning moon.    
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

The God
The God (the Horned God) is the Lord of the Forest and of Animals.

He is the primal force within all things, a wild man unfettered by civilization and driven by primal instincts.  He is the hunter and the hunted.  He slays so that others may live, and dies to nourish us in the natural cycle.
