Creator Gods in Wicca

Westerners generally expect religions to follow certain patterns: it should rituals, holidays and gods, and it should have a story of creation as well as an end of the world scenario. These are the sorts of things people commonly expect.

Generally speaking, Wiccans don't have a creation myth. Some may work with an allegorical tale such as the universe coming into being through the union of god and goddess, although even that is by no means standard and it certainly isn't taken literally.

What people don't understand is that religion as a distinct and discreet package is largely a myth. Throughout history, people generally just had beliefs, and often wouldn't separate their religious beliefs from other beliefs. These people sought a tale of where we came from, and that tale generally involved spiritual beings because clearly something very powerful had to be at work to create the universe.

For Wiccans, we already have that answer. We generally share society's trust in science. Our religion doesn't need a creation myth because we already have our answers through science. Religion doesn't make up stuff it doesn't need.

The nature of the gods is an intensely personal question. Everyone has their own views on it. Personally, I believe the world and the gods were created simultaneously and developed in tandem. After all, why would a war god exist before there was war? And why would the nature of war change if the gods of war were static and unchanging? It's not a question of whether the gods shaped creation or changes in creation shape the gods: they develop simultaneously and influence each other. As above, so below. As below, so above.
