The Lord and the Lady

Personally, I believe in the Lord and the Lady. As well as God the Force, which is universal, all-knowing, all-present.

There are 4 fundamental forces in physics. Gravity, electromagnetic, and I believe the other 2 are strong interaction and weak interaction. These are 4 pillars.

There is also the electromagnetic spectrum, which is very important. Once you hit gamma rays the next one up is beta waves and then alpha waves, where you're talking about tiny matter. Matter and energy are, of course, interchangeable.

Up from alpha waves is a Hydrogen atom. Then a Helium atom etc. All the way through to the rare, heavy metals such as uranium, which are unstable.

Chemistry, the periodic table, has its origins in Alchemy. Literally changing matter into a different type of matter. That's a chemical reaction.

For me, the Lord and the Lady are the True Twin Messiahs. Now, the bit that really confuses me, is: is the Lord Jesus or Satan????

"I was in the death struggle with self: God and Satan fought for my soul those three long hours. God conquered - now I have only one doubt left - which of the twain was God?"- Aleister Crowley.

The above is just a quote I love because it spells out the fact that whether the Lord you know is a devil or a God is wholly dependent on your personal perception of all these things.

Of course the official answer is that the Lord of Wicca, the antlered Lord, is neither God nor Satan in the Christian sense of the word. But if we are to look at the practices of witchcraft before Gardner watered them down and made Wicca, we see a connection between this horned God and the Devil. Many witches saw the devil as a symbol of freedom and all the positive things which they associated with their Lord, and the God of the invading people's was seen as a symbol of restriction.

Modern Traditional witches such as Gemma Gary and Paul Huson have no problem identifying Satan with the traditional Horned deity of the witch.

In truth, this being is neither God nor Satan in the Christian sense of the word, it simply is a standalone being who has been labelled as one or the other by various peoples. What he is to you and your personal relationship with him is all that matters.

It seems as though someone knows their science.

Not really, Hadit. Witchcraft, if it has Deities at all,they are "representations" of the male and female of Life. Even ancient witches recognized that the Sun and the Moon,together with the other essential, water,were the creators of Life on this planet. Since the beginning of time, humans have thought of the Sun as the male;God. And the Moon as the female; Goddess. Wicca is not very far from that knowledge. Just as many of the old traditions,Wicca is a fertility religion.The male and female of Nature. Ying and Yang.But no matter what the religions, the "craft" of witchcraft has remained the same. The constant search for new knowledge.
That is why witchcraft can be practised with any religious beliefs, or none at all!

Certainly I would associate the Sun with male and the Moon with female.
