The God
What Wiccans believe in regards to deity can be different. What I mean is there is no one way for Wiccans to believe. We are generally called Polytheistic which means we believe in more than one deity. It seems that most Wiccans believe in a God and a Goddess. Those who honour specific Gods and Goddesses (e.g. Aphrodite, Bacchus, Isis, Diana etc...) tend to think of them as aspects of the God or Goddess, not as separate Gods and Goddesses. Some, including me, think of the God and Goddess as one full being, not as two separate beings. To me, it makes sense to call them God and Goddess because we are used to putting things into male or female categories. This is changing slowly but is still a prevalent way of understanding things.
This page is about the male aspects of deity.
The God is normally portrayed by a sun:
The God is often referred to
as The Green Man or The Horned God. This is one reason
why many people think that Witches worship the devil. Although he
may look like
a devil because of his horns, he is not evil and we don't believe
in the devil.
