Transman Wiccan

[Guest Rowan19]

A question for the transman Wiccans; did you for some reason/somehow always feel closer to the god than the goddess like I did?

Seeing as Wicca focuses more on the goddess, sometimes I can feel a little disconnected from my religion. Not that I ever doubt it.

I know you're asking for transmen to awnser, but a good way to look at it is that all of the Sabbats are intended to honor the God, and the Esbbats the Goddess. When you think about it a much biger deal is made about honoring the God, though it is done less frequently. The fact that many covens overlook the God is one of the reasons I decided not to be initiated into British Traditional Wicca, even though so much of what they believe and even how their rituals are conducted matches so closely with my personal beliefs and practices.

There are some branches and certainly some covens that do focus more on the God however. Perhaps if you weree able to find such a group you would be able to enjoy a more complete connection with them. It is certainly worth looking into.

Merry Meet, merry part, and merry meet again!

Also not a transman here but one of reasons I went on the Wiccan path in the late 60s was because I felt more of an attraction to the goddess than the god aspects. Through my years in the craft I did learn to equally worship both god and goddess aspects. I have found that in general that females tend to be more goddess sided and males tend to be more god sided. That is one of the problems I always had trying to fit in as a priest with fellow males in the community.

So I think that for a transman it may be more natural to relate more to the god aspects.

I'm a transman, and I've always myself to be more... closely connected to the goddess. I don't particularly know why, nor have I really thought about it much, but it's a very interesting idea!

I'm a transman but not necessarily a Wiccan. I was in a Wiccan coven for a little over a year. During that time, while trying to figure out exactly if Wicca could fit into my life, I felt the balance of the God and Goddess was key. Not one over the other. Other Wiccan covens I was involved with indirectly told me they practiced this way. My priest and priestess had issues with this, as they were very goddess-centric, and I found that some other Wiccan covens practiced this way, however most of them claimed to be eclectic Wiccan.

My patron deities now still incorporate one "male" and one "female" deity, as I feel both aspects are instrumental in my life.
