One or Many (and what about God)?

Monaghan also poses the question of the Male Divine and the concept of the Goddess as being singular or multiple.

From my framework the God is equally as important as the Goddess, and while they may overlap in their duties, there are things that only the God can teach us, just as there are things only the Goddess can bring us to know.

For the question of multiple or singular I believe in the framework that there is the Spirit - which is neuter and encompasses all of the energy of the Divine both Masculine and Feminine. The God & The Goddess figure in just below that to represent the culmination of all that is male and female respectively. Each goddess is a face or facet of The Goddess, and while each of the individual faces encompass a piece of the goddess in a wholeness, they are individually not the full expression of The Goddess (kind of like that the square is always a rectangle, but the rectangle is never anything but a rectangle).
