| Pagan gods like the ones worshipped in Ancient Greece are usually conisdered by witches to be aspects of the Goddess and God. Different gods are invoked depending on the spell or ritual you want to do. For example, for a love spell you could invoke Venus, the Roman goddess of love. Try to be as respectful as possible, and give an offering (flowers, cakes, milk - NOT sacrafices) if you are performing a large spell. These are some of the better known gods and goddesses with their associations- |
