Wiccan Gods & Names of Pagan Gods

Like Wiccan Goddesses and Pagan Goddess names, the Wiccan Gods are derived from many different cultures around the world.

But the majority of the most common names for Pagan Gods come from the Greek and Roman pantheons, with a large dollop of Egyptian Gods and Hindu Gods as well.

This article offers an introduction to a wide selection of Gods invoked by at least some Wiccans. Some are more exotic, others more popular.

But this is by no means a comprehensive collection. The list of Pagan deities could be a list of all known deities!
