Religion

and my deepest wishes to you and yours in this holiday season. Your message touched me... and it also reminded me of part of a message I keep near and dear to my heart. I share it here with you... not for any reason other than it's an important part of me and in the spirit of the season, I just wanted to share that with you. ------

Hear ye the words of the Star Goddess, she in the dust of whose feet are the host's of heaven, whose body encircles the Universe.

I who am the beauty of the green Earth, and the white moon amongst the stars, and the mystery of the waters, and the desire of the heart of man call unto my soul: arise and come unto me.

For I am the soul of nature who giveth life to the Universe. From me, all things proceed and unto me all things must return. Before my face, beloved of gods and men, thine inmost self shall be enfolded in the rapture of the infinite.

Let my worship be within the heart that rejoiceth, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals and therefore, let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.

And thou who seekest for me, know thy seeking and yearning shall avail thee not unless thou knowest the mystery - that if that which thou seekest thou findest not within thee, thou wilt never find it without thee.

For behold, I have been with thee from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.

Blessed Be...
