    Names   Paganism   Fame  
    Charles Churchill, William Tooke (1804). “The Poetical Works of Charles Churchill”, p.24
  • In Goddess religion death is not feared, but is understood to be a part of life, followed by birth and renewal.

  • In a reality made of energy, thoughts may literally be things. What if it was intended that we create our own realities after death?

  • [There are, in us] possibilities that take our breath away, and show a world wider than either physics or philistine ethics can imagine. Here is a world in which all is well, in spite of certain forms of death, death of hope, death of strength, death of responsibility, of fear and wrong, death of everything that paganism, naturalism and legalism pin their trust on.

    William James, Frederick Burkhardt, Fredson Bowers, Ignas K. Skrupskelis (1982). “Essays in Religion and Morality”, p.128, Harvard University Press

    World   Paganism   Chance  
  • So much of truth, only under an ancient obsolete vesture, but the spirit of it still true, do I find in the Paganism of old nations. Nature is still divine, the revelation of the workings of God; the Hero is still worshipable: this, under poor cramped incipient forms, is what all Pagan religions have struggled, as they could, to set forth.

    Hero   Paganism   Spirit  
    Thomas Carlyle (2016). “Heroes and Hero Worship: The Historian”, p.14, 北戴河出版
  • The authentic pagan has no need of religion because, whatever religion can provide, he already has it.

    Needs   Paganism   Pagan  
  • Religion itself is an absurdity and an anomaly, and paganism is acceptable only because it represents that purely orgiastic phase of religion farthest from reality.

    H. P. Lovecraft (2010). “Against Religion: The Atheist Writings of H.P. Lovecraft”, p.139, Lulu.com
  • You are the spell the universe has cast.

    Paganism   Casts   Spells  
  • 'All the gods are one god and all the goddesses are one goddess, and there is one initiator.' The one initiator is one's own high self, with which the personality becomes more and more integrated as the path of spiritual evolution is followed.

    Doreen Valiente (2018). “Witchcraft for Tomorrow”, p.25, The Crowood Press
  • Paganism is infectious, more infectious than diphtheria or piety.

    E. M. Forster (2016). “A Room With A View: England Literature”, p.133, 谷月社
  • The Goddess is Alive. Magic is afoot.

    Magic   Alive   Paganism  
  • She changes everything she touches. And everything she touches changes.

    Starhawk (2012). “Dreaming the Dark”, p.264, Beacon Press
  • The salvation of man does not lie in his holding himself far removed from the worldly, but in consecrating it to holy, to divine meaning.

    Lying   Men   Doe  
    Martin Buber (2015). “Hasidism and Modern Man”, p.18, Princeton University Press
  • The feminine is more powerful than the masculine, the soft is more powerful than the hard, the water is more powerful than the rock.

    Powerful   Rocks   Water  
  • The Gods and Goddesses of myth, legend and fairy tale represent archetypes, real potencies and potentialities deep within the psyche, which, when allowed to flower permit us to be more fully human.

    Real   Flower   Legends  
    Margot Adler (2006). “Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America”, p.38, Penguin
  • We are not on this planet to ask forgiveness of our deities.

  • A wee child toddling in a wonder world, I prefer to their dogma my excursions into the natural gardens where the voice of the Great Spirit is heard in the twittering of birds, the rippling of mighty waters, and the sweet breathing of flowers. If this is Paganism, then at present, at least, I am a Pagan.

  • Although its light is wide and great, the Moon is reflected in a puddle one inch wide. The whole Moon and the entire sky is reflected in one dew drop on the grass.

    Life   Moon   Light  
  • Good energy was never meant to be waisted on idiocy.

  • She was ... the arch personification of the power of Space, Time, and Matter, within whose bound all beings arise and die: the substance of their bodies, configurator of their lives and thoughts, and receiver of their dead. And everything having form or name-including God personified as good or evil, merciful or wrathful-was her child, within her womb.

    Children   Names   Space  
    Joseph Campbell (1991). “The Masks of God: Occidental Mythology”, Penguin Group USA
  • The purpose of ritual is to wake up the old mind in us, to put it to work. The old ones inside us, the collective unconscious, the many lives, the divine eternal parts, the senses and parts of the brain that have been ignored.

  • In the older view the goddess Universe was alive, herself organically the Earth, the horizon, and the heavens. Now she is dead, and the universe is not an organism, but a building, with gods at rest in it in luxury: not as personifications of the energies in their manners of operation, but as luxury tenants, requiring service. And Man, accordingly, is not as a child born to flower in the knowledge of his own eternal portion but as a robot fashioned to serve.

    God   Kissing   Luck  
    William Blake (1979). “Complete writings: with variant readings”
  • The Goddess has a fourth face, which is secret, and you should pray to her, as I do — as I do, Igraine — that Morgause will never wear that face.

    "The Mists of Avalon".
  • Progress has brought us both unbounded opportunities and unbridled difficulties. Thus, the measure of our civilization will not be that we have done much, but what we have done with that much. I believe that the next half century will determine if we will advance the cause of Christian civilization or revert to the horrors of brutal paganism. The thought of modern industry in the hands of Christian charity is a dream worth dreaming. The thought of industry in the hands of paganism is a nightmare beyond imagining. The choice between the two is upon us.

  • Religion, as distinguished from modern paganism, implies a life in conformity with nature. It may be observed that the natural life and the supernatural life have a conformity to each other which neither has with the mechanistic life...A wrong attitude towards nature implies, somewhere, a wrong attitude towards God...[We should] struggle to recover the sense of relation to nature and to God.

  • Being a Pagan without knowing much about Paganism is a bit silly, in the sense that you would probably have been a Pagan had you known more, but you could not really be because you only knew so much about it.

  • Each religion has helped mankind. Paganism increased in man the light of beauty, the largeness and height of his life, his aim at a many-sided perfection; Christianity gave him some vision of divine love and charity; Buddhism has shown him a noble way to be wiser, gentler, purer, Judaism and Islam how to be religiously faithful in action and zealously devoted to God; Hinduism has opened to him the largest and profoundest spiritual possibilities.

    Aurobindo Ghose, Sri Aurobindo (1989). “The Supramental Manifestation, and Other Writings”, Lotus Press (WI)
  • Nature has her proper interest; and he will know what it is, who believes and feels, that every Thing has a Life of its own, and that we are all one Life.

    Samuel Taylor Coleridge, May Byron, William Hazlitt, James Gillman (2015). “Samuel Taylor Coleridge: The Man Behind The Lyrics (Illustrated Edition): Autobiographical Works (Memoirs, Complete Letters, Literary Introspection, Thoughts and Notes on Poetry); Including Extensive Biographies and Studies on S. T. Coleridge”, p.958, e-artnow
