who are we?

Pagan: from the country dweller…
Wicca as to bend…
Heathen from the hearth…
And a pantheon of god and goddess as we have names: asarru, hemetics, druids, hellenics and so on…
pre christain nature religions. most pagans currently are neo pagans but a few are hereditarily so.

there is an ever growing rebirth to nature religions over the world as our brother strip away the resources and eccosism we find ourselves seeking a direct path to the earth goddess of our former selves. there are statistics: witchvox,com

Pagans may worship more than one god or goddess, most of us utilize both the male and female aspects of the divine duality others feel the each face and name of the divine iis uniquely assigned to thme. We see divinty in plants, rocks, flora nad fauna even in one anohter as well as the gods and goddess we subscribe to. Just about any thing with an energy field or sense of polarity is divine unto itself. and some are so eclectic as to believe in all of the above.
the more one embraces his or her beliefs the more ethical concerns become a part of daily life. for example, the witch’s rede: an none be harmed do as ye will! There is a three fold accountability. as one points out with their index finger there are three pointing back at them and a thumb pointing to the divine. good or bad each act and each intent will not go without some reckoning.
reincarnations: just as we believe in the cycles of life, birth and rebirth so we also view death and rebirth I and one’s karma, past present and future will be there to effect the new life. In a walden school there is a story of an unborn child looking across the heavens and sees an ideal family then falls asleep to travel over the rainbow bridge to rebirth and awakes as a newly conceived babe in his or her mother’s arms. They may be gently rocking in a chair or suckling upon their mother’s breast.
pagans do not proseyltize! Absolutely not! We view one’s path unique to each individual and as many people there are points of view. We don’t seek converts but many time offer suggestion and at that time also say if it rings true for you then you must believe it! And make it your own.
we celebrate eight sabbats as holy days:
samhain – 10/31
yule - 12/21
embolic – 2/1
ostara – 3/20
beltane – 5/1
litha – 6/21
loughesad – 8/1
mebon - 9/21
doing magick and casting spells: yes, we do. It is like a formal prayer done as part of our eucharist to the god and goddess. In some way we call forth quarters to make a save place, then bring down a cone of power to do a magickal work. there must be a physical action to reflect the spiritual one. As above so below… as with in so with out… the forms and methodology varies with each practitioner but the desired effect is to create miracle through act with the natural realm. these act seem most natural!
satan worship and pagans: there is no connection. satanism is an abhorrance of the christian belief system. There is no place for it in pagan ideology, theology or mythoilogy. The devil is mentioned in the judeo-christian writing not found anywhere in our beliefs.
tools: wand, athame ( spitirual dagar or sword) candles censors and incense--AIR, a dish with salt –EARTH, as well as a cup for wine, tincture , juice or water. clothing is optional, robes and belts, capes and hoods. no intermediary need but donning such things only emphasizes to each practitioner there need of the sacred. Colour and planetary hours and days are tools as well. Just as tools are important, baths, mediation and journaling. the state of mind, heart and purpose are as important as any physical tool on an alter.
so many people are being called to the old ways of their ancestors. that spiritual path working as tribal or as a solitary.
seek out your own path and live with a happy heart. and if you decide upon this path I most recommend adhering to the golden verses as written below in an earlier entry.
blessed it be!
namsete!
hail and farewell,
