(10,622 posts)It is common at neo-pagan festival to see Thelemics, Wiccans, Druids, Discordians, Shamanistic people of many varying traditions, Buddhists, and many many others. People are constantly reinventing personal practices that incorporate several different traditions or creating new ones that didn't exist even ten years ago.
I believe you are correct however regarding Wicca as a subset of the neo-pagan movement, the two largest branches, Alexandrian and Gardnerian (they are at least in my area) most assuredly do incorporate Both God and Goddess (I know more about these two traditions as I hold second degrees in both).
There are many other Wiccan branches, but even most of the Dianic witches I know include the horned God as well as the Goddess, but focuses largely on the triple moon Goddess.
Celtic Wicca I find very interesting as it includes so much within it, often the teachings of Gardner as well as Valiente and in many cases Thelemic teachings including the Quabala. To know more about the differing branches of Wicca (and there are many even in this subset of neo-paganism) here is a good link and a good site in general.
