What god/god(s)/goddesses do Wiccans worship?

Answer 1

It's different for everyone. Which ever one they feel closest to. Some worship a triple goddess represented in the form of the maiden, mother and crone. Others may worship a Celtic, Egyptian or Norse god or goddess or both. Some simply worship mother earth. There are many branches of Wicca.

Answer 2

It is commonly understood that most Wiccans worship two deities: the Goddess, often associated with Gaea or Mother Earth, and her consort the God (sometimes known as the Horned God). These two deities are usually thought of as equal complements to each other, and together represent all aspects of the universe. Depending on the tradition followed, the names of the God and Goddess vary widely, usually based on mythological figures. A few examples might be Cernunnos and Brigit from Celtic mythology or Hecate, Lugh, Diana and many others.

The exact names of the Gods of traditional Wicca remain an initiatory secret according to current Gardnerians and they are not given in Gerald Gardner's books about witchcraft.[2] However, from the collection of Toronto Papers of Gardner's writings investigated by American scholars such as Aiden Kelly, many have come to suppose that their names are Cernunnos and Aradia, as these names are used in the protoype Book of Shadows known as "Ye Bok [sic] of Ye Arte Magical". [3]

Some Wiccans, particularly those following a solitary path, simply refer to their Gods as "The God and The Goddess". There are also Wiccan groups that acknowledge a unified supreme godhead. Usually referred to just as The One (such as in Scott Cunningham's Wicca: A Guide to the Solitary Practitioner), it has also been called Dryghten in Patricia Crowther's 1974 book Witch Blood!.

The partnership of the Wiccan Goddess and God is generally viewed as dynamic and complementary, with neither dominating, however in some traditions, such as Dianic Wicca, the Goddess alone is worshipped. In those traditions, the God plays either no role, or a diminished role.

A significant number of Wiccans from various traditions do not claim to be dualist, but practice some form of polytheism, often with particular reference to the European pantheons, the paganisms of which Wicca partly draws inspiration from. It has been noted by some authors that Wicca is becoming more polytheistic as it is maturing; embracing a more traditional pagan worldview.[4] However, Wiccans may also be animists, pantheists, or indeed anywhere within the broad spectrum of Neopagan forms of worship.

Answer 3

Pretty much any ones they want to. Some identify with certain older gods better then others. The constant seems to be (if you can think of them as god/esses) mother/father earth and the moon. But some worship Celtic gods, some worship Egyptian gods, some Greek and so on.

Answer 4

Wiccans? Ah, they usually worship a Goddess and God.

However, they could worship more.

Answer 5

That depends on whom you believe is the perfect one for you. There is a goddess of the hunt, the goddess of child bearing, the green man, the red man, and many many more. You have to find who represents you and what you believe. These gods/goddesses are basically there own private section of a larger religion. Figure out who you are, and then find the deity that brings you hope and balance.

Answer 6

i'm a polytheist and that i worship way more beneficial deities than i ought to ever call. Many are nature spirits, yet I also do respect historic deities which include Odin(i'm of Norse descent), Bast(cat lover), etc, all freeform to the finest of my means.

Specifically, I don't know. But I have a friend who is Wiccan and he says they DON'T BELIEVE A DEVIL EXISTS. That's interesting, when people have been told that Wiccans are devil worshipers.
