How many Gods and Goddesses?

[JohnH]

Hello,
I'm currently Wiccan, but searching my true feelings for other religions. I have researched the Wiccan religion many times, but only to find two Deities, the Goddess and God. Are those the only two Deities in Wiccan beliefs?

Yes and no...

Yes we believe in a Goddess and a God. However many Wiccans believe that these can assume the aspect of all the other known deities. In that all Gods are one God and all Goddesses are one Goddesses.

So we may pray to Diana, Demeter, Inanna, or Kali in a single sabbat or ritual but they are but different aspects of the same Goddess. The same holds true for the God.

As people practice they may feel drawn to one aspect of each more than the other and do the majority of the work with those aspects. Others (mainly Traditional Wiccans) have specific aspects that they follow based on training and the liturgy in their Book of Shadows. Others continue to include all the Aspects.
