‘The Waxing and Waning Moon’

Chances are you will not often find a similar association to our Lord. Instead, you
are more likely to see a solar cycle assigned to our Lord. Looking at popular books on
Wicca, one might think that all goddesses are Moon Goddesses and all gods are Sun
Gods. Historically speaking this simply has not been the case. There have in fact been
many masculine personifications of the moon and moon gods.
