I don’t believe that is accurate. Starhawk was trained by Victor Anderson, as were several others I know, and they consider themselves Wiccan. What sources are you using for your opinion?

Accuratly wicca does not have ‘parts’ – but people can come to it from different directions. For a good rundown on deities try the Farrar’s books, and the many books on mythology and folk ledgends. One could ask why you need to know about so many deities though? To get to know a small number is far more interesting than to know the names and atributes of a lot. Francis

Does it really matter why I want to know? I’m curiouus. I’ve always liked mythology and seeing how a lot of the different dieties were similar. Sorsha aka Alamarana —                                            | i also have heard of a Faery Wiccan group.  I even posted to ask him to tell me all about it but i lost my email capabilities for awhile and never heard back.

You would not happen to be a programmer, would you? Unlike most public religions however The Goddess has heirchy here.

Really, I was taught that the god/goddess were two distinct, yet equal, faces of the same divine being? Do I here a hint of feminism creeping in? Now all those names above could be the names of the paths followed, in which case, you would have to talk to individuals that follow those particular paths to find out what its about.  Personally, I follow the path of the Healing Circle.

Hmm, haven’t you heard of Wiccans referring to the God (Lord) and Goddess by different names such as those of Greek, Roman, or other pantheons Gods/Goddesses? That is what I think is being referenced here… In any case to answer the origional question: The different names are just to give a face to the God/Goddess. They are still the same faces of the divinity. Blessed Be, Chris Kummer

Goddess forbid! <G  Actually, the idea of the Goddess as " first among equals" is a teaching that I’ve come across very frequently in my study of the Craft.  And it is not restricted to Dianic or other feminist paths — even the Farrar’s in their books, express a similar belief. Of course, Wicca is so wonderfully eclectic that hardly anything is universal. By the earth that is Her body, Moonlit Nightfall

I’m looking for information on the dieties of some of the different branches? I guess they’re called? of the Wiccan religion, mainly Gypsy, Faerie, Greek (is there really that kind?), Earth, Nordic and Dragon Wicca. I’m pretty sure all of these exist, if not, sorry, but, um, anyway, I’ve been looking for information on the dieties of those religions or sub-religions or whatever they’re called, and I was wodering if anybody knew anything about them?
