Pagan Paths [antikvár]

Introduction O goat foot god of Arcady! The modem world hath need of thee! (Oscar Wilde) What is Paganism? It has been said that if you gather three Pagans together, you get five opinions. Pagans have no absolute source of authority for their spiritual beliefs other than their own conscience and intuition, so . have to find their own truths by constantly challenging their own ideas, both privately and in the company of others. That can make it very confusing for an enquirer who wants to find out just what Paganism is. Although no one person can have all the answers (even if there was only one exclusive truth, which there isn't), this book sets out to try to assist that process. Inevitably it will be coloured by my own views, but I hope to provide some wider ranges of opinion by quoting from some of the leading figures within the various paths, and examining the various paths one by one. Although they all have their individual nuances, they also have much in common. Suggestions for practical exercises are included at the end of each chapter, as there are some concepts that are easier to understand by experience than by reading about them. M r f ¦ 1 I
