-What is Wiccan:
- Wicca is pagen witchcraft. Very important to know that it's not satanisim, and it's kinda cool
- Wicca is devided into branches of diffrent beleifs and orginizational structures, these branches are called traditions
- Wicca is generally dualistic, worships two primary gods
- Wicca beleives in two gods, Tripple Goddess and Horned god
- *duotheism*
- Tripple Goddess and Horned god stand for many things, which can be represented by lower level dieties
- Because of this they are often refered to as the "Great * god[ness]", great refering to containing other dieties
- Many interpretations on these gods. Some refer to them as a devine figure, others more an imporsonal force
- Broader Wiccan beleifs range from monisim (all from one source), panthesm (reality is the embodyment of god), or Godness Monothesism (a movement worshiping godnesses due to male dominated religon)
