Re: godlings

Well, yes, if you put it that way, that a god must be worshipped, I can see your point. But many Witches do worship Oberon as a god, and consider Santa Claus another variant of the Holly King, who is an archetypal god of Winter amongst Witches today.

God which creates, the Creator, the Source, the Absolute, is beyond human ability to conceive. Any concept of God is both created by the human imagination and yet is also a mask of the Absolute, which cannot be conceived. Thus Yahweh/Jehovah, Allah, and any other God which has attributes that we humans ascribe to them is not the Absolute, but rather a god-form, and therefore equal to all other god-forms, and just as much products of the human imagination as you say.
