Chaos, in this context, does not mean utter disorder and destruction. It is ‘Chaos’ in the Greek terminology Chaos, meaning nothingness and formlessness. Chaos was deity in its form just before creation.

Chaos is the most primal form of all Deity. It is both nothing and everything. It is the One and the none. Other names for Chaos are: Sige, Spirit, and the Great Spirit. Most commonly it is named “the All.”

The All is just that, All! It contains all forms of Deity: both Goddess and God. It is every Goddess:

•Kali,

•Freja,

•Isis,

•Shakti,

•Kwan Yin,

•Diana,

•Dana,

•Sehkmet,

•Cerridwen,

•Sophia,

•Hokhmah,

•Shekinah,

•or Yemaya.

It is every God:

•Lugh,

•Logos,

•Jehovah,

•Yahweh,

•Adonis,

•Attis,

•Shiva,

•Ganesh,

•Odin,

•Thor,

•Anubis,

•Osiris,

•Metatron,

•or Papa Legba.

The terms, ‘Spirit’ and ‘Great Spirit’ are used interchangeably. They refer to Deity before it divided into male or female. Of course this use of the word Spirit is different here than its use meaning ‘ghost’ or ‘specter.’

Early Christianity, highly preserved by the Gnostic Christians, held that Chaos was Deity named Sige. Sige means, “silence.” It was, in other words, pure silence before creation ever formed.

This form of Deity is androgynous, meaning it’s both genders: male and female, in one being. Chaos has no body, no mind, and no emotion. Some refer to Chaos as an essence. Some see Chaos as a mass of whirling light. Some see Chaos as an androgynous human, having both male and female parts and appearances. But even that takes away from its aspect of being both everything and nothing at the same time.

Chaos is the original state that contains Itself -- all beginnings and all endings. It is that which was, is, and will be. Chaos is dormant Deity. It is Deity at rest. Chaos is the between point of the destruction of a universe and the creation of a universe.

Goddess:

Goddess is the female division of Deity. Goddess was the side of creation that was darkness: spiritual, mental, and energetic. She is the division that creates and nurtures. She has three forms: Maiden, Mother, and Crone. These three forms make Her the Triple Goddess.

The Maiden is the youth of the Goddess. She is the blossoming young woman. The Maiden can be the essence of independence and self-worth or She can be the sexual and beautiful lover. She represents growth and new opportunities. She is the beginning of life.

The Mother is the womanhood of the Goddess. She is the strong woman. She is the creatrix, the giver of life, She who gives birth to creation. She can be the strong protective mother or the imperial queen of power. She represents fullness of power, desire, and strength. She is the lasting of life.

The Crone is the elderhood of the Goddess. She is the wise woman. She is the aged height of feminine might. She represents the wisdom that comes with age. She is the transformer and changer. She is the destroyer that enables rebirth to exist.

The Triple Goddess correlates to the Moon and its forms. The Waxing Moon is held under the form of the Maiden. The Full Moon is held under the form of the Mother. The Waning Moon is held under the form of the Crone.

So a waxing moon gives off the power to grow and be new. The full moon gives off the power to be full and at the zenith of strength. The waning moon gives off the power to banish and shrivel.

God:

God is the male division of Deity. God was the side of creation that was light, physical, and material. He is the division that maintains and changes. He essentially has two forms, but from tradition to tradition it changes and they all shall be covered here.

First is the two-form God or the Dual God. Celtics refer to these two forms as the Holly and Oak Kings. The Strega refer to these two forms as the Wolf and the Stag. Others may call them the Dark and Light Gods. But essentially they all hold a similarity: division of the year into the growing half and the waning half, based upon sunlight and nature’s cycle. And at each Solstice the two God forms commence in ritual battle to govern the next half of the year.

Waxing Half of The Year

The Waxing half of the Year is governed by the God in his forms of the Oak King, the Light God, or the Stag. These God forms win the ritual battle of the Winter Solstice and rule in power until the battle of the Summer Solstice. They represent growing strength, power, and the lengthening of the days.

Waning Half of the Year

The Waning half of the Year is governed by the God in his forms of the Holly King, the Dark God, or the Wolf. These God forms win the ritual battle of the Summer Solstice and rule in power until the battle of the Winter Solstice. They represent weakening strength, beginnings of death, and the shortening of the days.

Another set of God-forms is the Triple God. He is the Youth, the King, and the Sage. This triplicate governs more over the course of the day rather than of the year.

The Youth is the young man who is sporty and playful and strategic in all manners. He represents the morning part of the day.

The King is the high lord and master of the world. He possesses great strength. He represents the noon part of the day.

The Sage is the wise one and the shaman. He possesses great knowledge. He represents the dusk part of the day.

Quintile God Forms

The next set of God forms is the Quintile God Forms. This is a set of five god forms that also rally around the course of the day.

The Lad is the young one who symbolizes the dawn. He is new, cleansing, and beginning.

The Prince is the older one who symbolizes the morning. He is growing, building, and expanding.

The King is the lord who symbolizes the noon. He is charging, peaking, and potency.

The Father is the wise man who symbolizes the afternoon. He is weakening, declining, and setting.

The Ancient is the elder who symbolizes the dusk. He is ending and alleviating.
