The God


The God is not just the consort of the Goddess.   He is not the supreme wrathful being of Judeo-Christian belief (ok, well he's not JUST that being, depending on how you look at it).  He is the brilliantly shining sun, the tender of wild animals, and the Sky Father.  He is the fully-ripened harvest, the ruler of sex, the source of mankind's future.  His domain includes the lush green forest, the towering mountains, and the distant stars. 

As the Horned God, he shows his connection with the animals of Nature, and is the ruler of the hunt (the Goddess rules domestication of animals).
It is the God as the Sun that leads the cycle of growth and maturation which leads to the harvest, and gives us the eight Sabbats to celebrate him and the Goddess.  He is present in the grain and corn, waving in the breezes in fields,  in apples shining on trees in orchards, and in the plump grapes that are pressed into wine.
As the ruler of sex, he brings us pleasure, and gives us the urges which ensure perpetuation of our species.
As Sky Father, he is bringer of rain and lightning, prompting growth of plants and trees.

The God is symbolized in the sword, wand, candle, spear, arrow, horns, trident, and knife, as well as gold, brass, and ruby.  The creatures sacred to Him include the bull, stag, boar, falcon, shark, lizard, snake, fish, dragon, wolf, eagle, and dog.
