Thank you for explaining this to others who don't know ^-^

Well, actually we believe in many. Almost like the greek gods and goddesses. The Goddess which is the Lady and then the Lord. Plus there is Gaia, Hecctae, Pele, and SOOO many others. People even make their own gods and goddesess to follow. And even though we call them gods and goddesses, they aren't exactly that. We make our own path.

Well, that really depends on what sect you are in or what preference you have. There are some feminist Wiccans who are monotheistic and only believe in the Goddess. Generally, though, wiccans only believe in the Lord and Lady. Like I said though, what you believe in Wicca depends on what the person wants to believe.

Yes, they are. The Lord is a god and the Lady is a goddess. They're sources of limitless power and are often symbolized by the Sun and the Moon.

Oh, I think this should have been locked from day one. The main thing that pisses me off about threads like this, as you said, is even when one says, "Now, let's just have yes or no answers," someone's going to interject with some opinionated, dumb comment that offends or irritates someone else, immediately starting a blaze. But hey!
