Research Project

 

Wiccans have much knowledge about goddesses and gods. As you have learnt in the lesson this is because they have a sophisticated view of deity that expresses the various forces to be found in existence.

This month, your task is to research a goddess and a god that takes your interest. You may wish to add to your knowledge of the deities outlined in the lesson, or you may want to explore deities entirely of your own choosing. Finding a goddess and a god that you can relate to will be important in your personal magical development for a variety of reasons. They will become a part of your daily life, not only as a source for inspiration but will also allow you to work with the forces that they represent through rites and rituals, as well as the practice of magic.

There are many ways of tackling this project and in your research make sure that you at least consider the following:

Origins in time and place.

Lineage.

What the deity symbolizes.

Powers and properties.

Associated stories or myths.

As always, it is recommended that you write up your research as an aid to forming your own views and memorizing the material.
