Names
Truly, there
is no one major "God" or "Goddess" of all paganism.
Paganism, as a whole, is defined as "other" or "other religion than
Islam, Judaism, or Christian". This leaves a LOT of territory! There is
no single set of deities worshiped by all Pagans, nor of all
Wiccans.
Most Pagans
will choose a deity to call upon who is known to
have a special affinity for the situation the person is currently
dealing with. However, even if the person gets it wrong, the gods will
straighten it out and send the appropriate one to handle the issues at
hand.
These are
brief lists of commonly used
names for Gods and Goddesses, from various pantheons throughout the
world. Extensive lists could well run into the 100s of thousands of
names!
God Names
Goddess Names
Angels, spirits, and minor gods
Nature spirits and spirits of the elements, are unique
creations. They have been called upon successfully to help in times of
need.
Angels can be
thought of gods or goddesses, and Archangels
can be considered to be Gods and Goddesses in Their own rights. These
are very powerful beings, not merely folklore, and should be handled
with respect.
