I thought this was beautiful.... what do you think of it?
"Before time was, there was The One; The One was all, and all was The One. And the vast expanse known as the universe was The One, all-wise, all-prevading, all-powerful, eternally changing.
And space moved. The One molded energy into twin forms, equal but opposite, fashioning the Goddess and God from The One and of The One.
The Goddess and God stretched and gave thanks to The One, but darkness surrounded them. They were alone, solitary save for The One.
So They formed energy into gasses into suns and planets and moons; They sprinkled the universe with whirling globes and so all was given shape by the hands of the Goddess and God. Light arose and the sky was illuminated bya billion suns. And the Goddess and God, satisfied by their works, rejoiced and loved, and were one. From their union sprang the seeds of all life, and of the human race, so that we might achieve incarnation upon the Earth.

The Goddess chose the Moon as Her symbol, and the God the Sun as His symbol, to remind the inhabitants of Earth of their fashioners.
All are born, live, die and are reborn beneath the Sun and Moon; all things come to pass thereunder, and all occurs with the blessings of The One, as has been the way of existence before time was.

I'm sorry to say that I think this was meant to be read with an understanding many lack, and it creates the illusion that Wiccans are monotheists.

Well, it's very nice, I guess. It seems to borrow from Hindu, Egyptian, and other ancient belief systems, with a smattering of modern science, but at least it's better than the asinine creation tale in Genesis.

Not Wiccan here, but it is very pretty......
In some ways it also reminds me of the Pelagian creation myth as related by Robert Graves.....

I always thought it was a beautiful story. I do believe it's based off of Doreen Valiente's Wiccan creation story.

Forgive me if I say it sounds very "we all are worshipping different aspects of the same God" and this is a way for Christians and others to accept us.
