	Henotheism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In some belief systems, the choice of the supreme deity within a henotheistic framework may be determined by cultural, geographical, or political reasons.
		However, unprecedented and thitherto unduplicated ideas of pure monism are to be found even in the early Rig Veda Samhita, notwithstanding clearly monist and monotheist movements of Hinduism that developed with the advent of the Upanishads.
		Extreme monists within the Advaita Vedanta movement, Yoga philosophy and certain non-dual Tantra schools of Hinduism preclude a broad categorization of Hinduism as henotheistic, what with the conception of Brahman, a formless non-being-being that is posited to be pure consciousness, beyond attributes, the Divine Ground from which all else that is limited and temporal sprang.

		Term used by some henotheistic Neopagan Witches to refer to their concentration on the Goddess as more important than the God.
		Several new monotheistic or henotheistic religions started since the early 1970s by women in the feminist community who belonged to the women's spirituality movement and/or who had contact with Neopagan Witches.
		It is partially an outgrowth of Neopagan Witchcraft, with male deities booted unceremoniously(!) out of the religion entirely, and partially a conglomeration of independent and eclectic do-it-yourself covens of spiritually inclined feminists.

		It is generally accepted as a henotheistic system, meaning that there is one specific force or deity from which all others precipitate; a God, usually associated with Cernunos, Pan or another horned, priapic male deity; and a Goddess, recognized as a Divine Mother, a gender-variant male, a warrior or a Kali-like destroyer.
		This seemingly hetero-binary pantheon is actually considered to reflect both sides of every human's psyche, with gender and sexuality being fluidic.

		Yes, in the New Testament, the monotheistic and henotheistic God of Israel, Yahweh, suddenly starts to be interpreted as Trinity.
		So, the concept of monotheistic and henotheistic God itself got abrogated in the New Testament as the Christians allege!
		So we have to assume that the monotheistic and henotheistic God of Israel did not know that he was Trinity and made a serious mistake or he simply changed his mind or in the worst case scenario, he cheated the People of Israel.
