A testament My 15 year old son takes after me in most ways but unfortunately wants to be
an architect. Oh, well you can't have everything. He is very religious and has
an interest in the orders of chivalry, especially the Knights Templer.
I feel strongly that changes need to be made in the way we respond to the
pressures put upon us from outside. We need to give a unified response when
attacked, use every pressure to get laws passed to protect the freedom to
practice religions, and show as many people as we can that the Goddess deserves
their worship. We proselytise by the way we live our lives, the only question is
which religion we do it for.
These come together around the religion of wicca and the pagan/new
age/spiritual people we know. I try to help those in need by direct actions such as writing letters and
indirecly by helping when I can to collect money.
There is a divinity which created all
things, unknowable, all powerful and as far from our understanding as anything
can be. For us to be able to worship this divinity it has created images of
parts it self which we refer to as aspects, most of which are in the forms of
gods and goddesses.
These are more or less understandable depending upon
which ones are taking an interest in your life. The more powerful they are the
more remote from our normal life and attitudes.
We worship these deities
with each breath we take, each thing we do. We can not say that we do not
proselytize when everything about our lives shows our relationship with our
universe. The wheel of the year gives 8 major festivals set round the cycles of
life and death, fertility and growth. Add to this the monthly observances and
you have a rich and varied series of religious experiances.
I have been
practising the Craft for 30 years, mainly as a Solitary but at times I have been
given the pleasure and honour of joining in with groups/covens for rituals. I
have a tendency to join organisations that I believe will act to improve the
position of our religion in society. As someone who has always been open about
his beliefs I take the strongest possible line with those who would deny us our
rights. To this end I oppose the destruction of our country and the suborning of
our government by the 4th. Reich.
My old home is in
Sheffield.
Waiting
to hear from you
