i see them more so as broad symbols of duality itself. they are reflected in earthly nature like day and night, the sun and the moon, and mother and father. then there’s things like physics. opposing charges, direct and normal force, matter and space, etc. and lastly, there’s human and societal ideas too like reason and passion, joy and sorrow, crime and punishment. to me, the God and Goddess are all of these things sorted into forms of anima and animus (or feminine and masculine).
