| | In Celtic mythology, Dis was the Roman name assigned to the supreme god of the Celts by Julius Caesar. | | | In Roman mythology, Dīs was an alternate name for Pluto, god of the underworld and darkness. | | | Its name comes from a shortening of dīves ("wealthy", from the belief that the wealth from the ground came from the underworld), which in turn derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *dyeu (which is also the source of other deity names such as Jupiter, Diana, Zeus, Dione, Tiu, Tyr, Devi and Asmodai). |

Many Wiccan neopagans are dualists, or panentheists, but there are also polytheists, some are anamists, and some believe in the deity within. |
