Gods are "super-existential forms of the being". They are the sacralization of energies, forces, powers or concepts.
When a God is "naked" or "a neutral expression" then he/she can be defined as "numen". This term derives from the latin "nuo" which means "to nod" that is the way through which the numen manifests himself/herself.
In general, Gods are powers neither masculine nor feminine or, better, they are both masculine and feminine. Each God shows masculine and feminine polarities which are in harmony and cannot prevail on each other: for example Jupiter (masculine polarity) and Juno (feminine polarity) .
Only in some cases, there are some Gods having only one polarity, the feminine one; this is the case of the Great Mothers who have not a masculine polarity.
According to tradition, three forms of theology can be identified:

According to tradition, three forms of theology can be identified:
- popular theology
- natural theology
- social theology
Each God may be included, in one way or another, within these three thelogies: Jupiter for example represents the sacralization of the flash of lightning (natural theology) and authority (social theology) having also a long series of qualities and appellations (indigitamenta)
Do not forget that anything is "normal" is "sacred".
