Core tenet of Wicca
The divine is Goddess and God.
Polarity at the center: the Great Goddess of moon and earth, the Horned God of sun and wild — most Wiccans read all deities through these two.
Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this passage is held
Wicca's theology is duotheistic — Goddess and God as complementary polarity, moon and sun, earth and forest — though practitioners vary enormously in whether they take these as literal beings, archetypes, or aspects of one divinity. Many traditions emphasize the Goddess considerably more. Dianic Wicca is Goddess-only. The flexibility is deliberate: Wicca is orthopraxic rather than orthodox, and what you do in circle matters more than what you conclude about it.
