The God

The God is worshipped in many forms of Wicca, but his primary form is that of Cernunnos or Karnayna, the Horned God. This image of the God is the earliest which we know in human history and it is an image of great power which has endured in the human psyche through centuries of repression.

Iin nolithic times the God became asociated with agriculture and the crops and the next oldest image we have of the God is that of the vegetation God.

-Vivianne Crowly, From Wicca-The Old Religion in the New Age

In Wicca, the God generally has less recogniton than the Goddess but he does play a big role. During the barren months the Goddess hands over her power to the God. He watches over the earth while the Goddess sleeps. When she returns to reclaim her power she cuts him down and the cycle begins again.
