The God

godsThe God is a life force, an impregnator. He initiates change and action, he is movement and purpose. The God is neither the stern, all powerful deity of Christianity, nor is he "just" the consort of the Goddess. The God and Goddess are equal, for without one we could not have the other.

The God is the Sun, shining through the day, rising and setting in the endless cycle which rules our lives.

He empowers and protects the creations of the Goddess.

The God as Son and Lover is dual, being both created and the creator. He is also seen as the Sun that dies each year in winter and reborn as Spring approaches.
