Wicca is a modern pagan religion that worships a variety of divine deities. These deities can be seen as both immanent and transcendent, meaning they are present in the world around us and also exist beyond our physical realm. There are many different deities in Wicca, each with their own unique attributes and associations. One of the most well-known deities in Wicca is the Triple Goddess. The Triple Goddess is often seen as representing the stages of a woman's life - the maiden, the mother, and the crone. She is associated with femininity, fertility, and wisdom.
The second step is my least favorite part of making dough: waiting for it to rise! I waited for the original mixture to rise (about 40 minutes) and then divided it into two loaves. I only have one bread pan, so I made one regular-shaped loaf and one flatter, rounder loaf. Then I let them rise a second time.
I pray all day long to the Morrigan, to Brighid, to other gods mostly for little things like protection and wisdom and patience I really struggle with patience. Iceberg isn t my absolute favorite, but I was overwhelmed by the selection of lettuce their catalog offered, so I went simple and ordered the one I know we ll get the most use out of.

Update from the Homestead: Composting and Seeds
I’ve been taking some time off from blogging to deal with bronchitis, but I’ve still managed to get some homestead projects done.
We had a brief reprieve from snow and freezing weather, so I built our compost bin. I used a 30 gallon, opaque Rubbermaid container, drilled holes in all the sides, bottom, and lid for air circulation, and placed it at the side of the house near where the garden will be. I’ve been composting all our kitchen scraps and coffee grounds. I had no idea so much went to waste! It feels good to find another purpose for all of it.

I also ordered half our seeds from Baker Heirloom Seeds (Rareseeds). The peppers and tomatoes were must-haves so that I can start them indoors soon. Hopefully, they’ll be ready to transplant to containers by the time the rest of our garden is planted.
The peppers include four kinds of hot peppers we wanted to try:
- Chocolate Habanero
- Cayenne Long Thin
- Chinese 5-Color
- Pablano
And one kind of sweet pepper:
Two kinds of tomatoes:
I also ordered broccoli, cauliflower, and iceberg lettuce. Iceberg isn’t my absolute favorite, but I was overwhelmed by the selection of lettuce their catalog offered, so I went simple and ordered the one I know we’ll get the most use out of.
As a free gift, they sent a packet of these pretty flowers, called Love-in-a-Mist. I’m looking forward to planting these too!

He is often depicted as a stag or a hunter and is associated with the wild, nature, and fertility. The Horned God is seen as the consort of the Triple Goddess, representing the masculine energy that balances her feminine energy. Wiccans may invoke the Horned God to help them connect with the natural world and tap into their own primal instincts. In addition to the Triple Goddess and the Horned God, Wiccans may also worship specific deities from various pantheons. These can include gods and goddesses from ancient civilizations such as Greece, Egypt, and Rome. Each deity has their own sphere of influence and can offer guidance and support in specific areas of life. For example, the goddess Aphrodite may be honored for matters of love and beauty, while the god Hermes may be called upon for communication and travel. It is important to note that Wiccans do not consider their deities to be all-powerful or all-knowing. Instead, they see them as part of a larger interconnected web of energies that make up the universe. Wiccans believe in personal responsibility and actively participate in their own spiritual growth and development. They view their relationship with their deities as a partnership, working together to create balance and harmony in their lives and in the world.

Reviews for "The Wisdom and Guidance of Wiccan Divine Deities"
- Jane - 2 stars - "I was really excited to learn about Wiccan divine deities, but unfortunately, this book didn't live up to my expectations. It felt very surface-level and didn't provide enough depth or exploration on each deity. The information provided was basic and could easily be found with a quick internet search. I was hoping for a more comprehensive and insightful guide, but this book fell short."
- Mark - 1 star - "I found 'Wiccan divine deities' to be poorly written and disorganized. The author jumped from one topic to another without any clear structure, making it difficult to follow along. Additionally, there were several grammatical errors and typos throughout the book, which further added to my frustration. Overall, I was highly disappointed and would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a comprehensive guide on Wiccan divine deities."
- Sarah - 2 stars - "As someone who has been practicing Wicca for a few years, I was hoping to deepen my knowledge about divine deities through this book. However, I found it to be quite generic and lacking in fresh insights. The author simply repeated information that can be found in many other Wiccan books, and there was nothing particularly unique or thought-provoking about the content. I would only recommend this book to absolute beginners who have no prior knowledge about Wicca."
- David - 1 star - "I couldn't get past the author's biased perspective in 'Wiccan divine deities'. It felt like the book was trying to push a specific agenda rather than provide unbiased information. I was disappointed by the lack of objectivity and balance in the author's descriptions of the deities. As someone who values intellectual honesty and open-mindedness, I found this book to be a letdown and would not recommend it to others."
