→Wiccan Holy Days: clarified intro
Wiccans may be either monotheistic or polytheistic; the monotheists simply directing their spells and prayers to Spirit, and the polytheists subscribing to a variety of historical pantheons, including [[Celt]]ic, [[Greek]], [[Asatru|Nordic]], [[Roman]], and even [[Chinese]], [[Japanese]], and [[Hindu|Indian]]; or some combination of the above, but most Wiccans are duotheistic worshipping the God and Goddess. Nearly all Wiccans, however, subscribe to the idea of Spirit being divided into two polarities, the [[male]] and the [[female]]. <ref> Wicca for One by Raymond Buckland, page 28 </ref> The male polarity is the God, or the Green Man; the female polarity is the Goddess, whom herself is split into the three parts of Maiden, Mother, and Crone. They are also often called the Lord and Lady. They have been given so many names they have been called the Nameless Ones.<ref>Wicca a Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham, page 11 </ref>
