Father Moon....?
Not really a hypothesis, but here's a thought that woke me up at three am yesterday and kept me awake the rest of the day:I was reading Jennifer Smith's Raido: The Runic Journey, and she mentioned the wheel of the year, "with four solar and four agricultural (lunar) festivals annually." *pg 14* Four lunar.... What if the wheel were to reflect two gods (I wish I knew more about the celtic system), with two gods represented in the wheel of the year. Day and Night. The Norse thought of the moon as a male figure, and the sun female, but what about the earth being the female, along with Venus, her sister planet who makes a pentagram in the night sky (something I intend to see for myself). Suddenly I have 4 celestial deities, not two, and a system I'm feeling better able to resolve. At the risk of sounding "fluffy bunny", it's an intriguing idea that I think needs more research.

Norse creation myth. I guess it depends on what feels right to you. Personally, I don't see the moon as a male energy so don't use it as such in magic and ritual. But if believing in a male energy for the moon as opposed to the sun makes your magic strong, then you should embrace that. You really can't go wrong, my friend.
It's an interesting idea, I thought. Just a tangent I thought worth looking into. Something to ponder.
definitly, as long as you don't force yourself to believe it. :)
