Cunningham is a fine place to start reading. The most basic of virtually all witchcraft/Wiccan/Pagan books, but very good for the truly neophytic.

For those who asked, a pantheon is simply Gods and Goddesses grouped by the culture/religion that worshipped them. Thus, the Norse Pantheon would include Freya, Odin, etc. The Greek Pantheon contains Zeus and Hera, the Hindu Pantheon Kali and Krishna, and the Christian Pantheon, Jehova, Jesus, and, if you're a Catholic...Mary.

Personally, I love Mary. She's simply the most recent embodiment of the Goddess to date. I want a Mary statue for my garden.

A friend of mine is sort of a non-denominational Pagan (okay, more of a new ager, but she is studying under a Celtic Shaman, but doesn't do much work within that particular path), and also loves Mary. She put in a Mary statue at her summer cabin site.

Mary was always too humble for me. I allied myself with Artemis when I was a teen.... sex kinda got in the way of that though So I identified with Bast instead. (Then I lost all faith in anything, but I still love mythology)
