Creation myth
Modern Wicca arose relatively recently, and, though some relevant poetry exists [25], there is no consensus among Wiccans as to what myth, if any, is definitive of Wiccan theology. Many followers believe in a scientific explanation and combine it in various forms with creation myths.

Oh, it is still, unbodied, all on its own, unchanging, all-pervading, ever-moving. So it can act as the mother of all things. Not knowing its real name, we only call it the Way)
