Greater God and Goddess: The Lord of the Day and Lady of the Night
The Lord and the Lady
The Lord of the Day and the Lady of the Night are the head God and Goddess of the Anglesey pantheon. While other deities are referred to as “Lord” and “Lady”, when “The Lord” or “The Lady” is used it refers to these two deities. It is the dance of these two powers that alone and combined created all aspects of existence including the minor deities. Thus, all worshipers in this pantheon acknowledge and revere “The Lord” and “The Lady” even if their primary worship is directed to one of the lesser gods. However, “The Lord” and “The Lady” are largely beyond human understanding. Unlike the lesser gods, they have never intervened directly with the world. Many scholars believe that if the “The Lord” and/or “The Lady” touched the world directly, it would destroy all creation. Other scholars believe they remain in a constant struggle with their opposite, the God of Nothingness/Non-creation. created all magical aspects. Where magic and non-magic is combined in one thing or living creature, it is their combined will and talents that created that thing or living creature.

Worship: All faithful people of Anglesey of good alignment worship these deities. However, it is more an acknowledgement of their power and of sustaining that power rather than an involved worship.
