Vivianne Crowley - Wicca - A comprehensive guide to the Old Religion in the modern world

God has made different religions to suit different aspirants, times and countries. All doctrines are only so many paths; but a path is by no means God Himself. Indeed one can reach God if one follows any of the paths with whole hearted devotion … One may eat a cake with icing either straight or sidewise. It will taste sweet either way. 2

To Witches, deities manifest in different ways and can be worshipped and contacted through any form suitable to local conditions and personal needs. Wicca does not believe, as do the patriarchal monotheisms, that there is only one correct version of God and that all other God forms are false: the Gods of Wicca are not jealous Gods. We worship Goddess and God, recognising that all Gods are aspects of the one God and all Goddesses are aspects of the one Goddess, and that ultimately these two are reconciled in the one Divine essence. There are many flowers in the garden of the Divine and therein lies its beauty.
