In the ABW mythos we envision the Antlered-God. Antlers are seasonally shed, and in this we see the two halves of the year - waxing and waning. We call the God - He of the Deep Wooded Places. When he wears antlers, he represents this world and his individuality ( a finite manifestation of divinity). When he sheds them, he represents his releasing into the Goddess in terms of the relationship between the Part and the Whole. This is a teaching in ABW, in which the Goddess is the All, and the God is the Part within the All. For example, she is the concept of the Year, and he is any marked time within it. In modern terms, the Wheel of the Year is the Goddess in her full expression (at least in terms of the earth plane). The God is the expression of divinity within glimpses of the Years passage (like the Sabbats that manifest the Wheel of the Year). There is much more to this teaching, but this a sneak preview. :-)
