A great many of our Wiccan Goddesses and Gods in fact come from the Roman/Greek pantheon.

It's ironic that a religion like Wicca, whose forerunner was destroyed by the Romans, has claimed the conquerors' gods for itself.

Nonetheless, the Roman pantheon fills out the family of divinities quite well. Probably because the Romans borrowed so many deities from other cultures too.

And since the Romans were technically pagans too, I guess it makes some sense.

We also take many Pagan Goddess names from the Celtic and the Egyptian religions.

In fact, we tend to gather Wiccan Gods and Goddesses from around the world. There are 2 reasons for this . . .

Somewhere in the world there is a Deity for every occasion that could arise, and
Many of us try explicitly to be inclusive, and honour the Deities of many cultures.

Now, having said all that in a previous article about there being "no specific Wicca Goddesses and Gods," there are certain deities who are more commonly invited into Wiccan Circles.
