Since time was time, wo/man had created a belief for themselves. It started out with gods who controlled things that directly influenced their lives, a god of the wind, a god of the waters, the god that made the earth tremble, so on.
Most prominent of these gods was the God of Hunting, the Horned one, He was the provider of the game that people ate for food.
Also most prominent was the Goddess of Fertility -- she was prayed to so that the peoples of the Earth wouldn't die out.
In this day and age, wicca is the religion that walks this 'Old Path', we pray to this God and this Goddess. Though in wicca you can pray to many different Gods and Goddesses to serve your specific need, we believe that the Goddess and God are all one and the same, but with many faces. Cernunnos and Aradia are probably the most heard of versions of the Lady and Lord, when praying as a wiccan.
