SilenceLucien Levy-Dhurmer, 1895
"The concepts "To Dare, to Know, to Will and to Be Silent"1 are spoken of amongst modern Pagans (especially Wiccans who participate in coven activates). It is said that these concepts, especially to "be silent", were constructed during the "dark ages" to protect the coven members from persecution. This theory relies on the belief that Wicca is an ancient religion and not one that started in the 1950's popularized by Gerald Gardner. I have discovered that the philosophy "to be silent" is much older and was originally taught for different reasons."

You can read more about the Yoruban pantheon here: The Seven African Powers, or about the Santeria Religion.Comments (2)PermalinkBlame it on...Buffy?Monday September 8, 2008According to a recent article in the UK Telegraph, an academic study undertaken at the University of Derbyfound that 50,000 women a year (over one million women since 1989) are fleeing Christian churches to find fulfillment in Wicca and other Neopagan faiths. The report, authored by sociologist Kristin Aune, claims that positive portrayals of Paganism in pop culture are leading women to seek out these female-centric faiths. Interestingly enough, the main impetus behind this exodus appears to be rooted in dissatisfaction with mainstream religion's attitudes toward "women's issues" such as sexuality, single-parent families, and work. While I'm inclined to dismiss the relevance of television -my take is that it's more of a reflection of changing attitudes than a motivating influence- this is looking to be much less a brief flirtation with "otherness" than a complete cultural shift.Comments (1)PermalinkHappy Birthday, TheosophySunday September 7, 2008 In honor of the birthday of the Theosophical Society, founded by H. P. Blavatsky and Henry Steele Olcott, 1875: What is Theosophy? There were Theosophists before the Christian era, notwithstanding that the Christian writers ascribe the development of the Eclectic theosophical system to the early part of the third century of their Era. Diogenes Laertius traces Theosophy to an epoch antedating the dynasty of the Ptolemies; and names as its founder an Egyptian Hierophant called Pot-Amun, the name being Coptic and signifying a priest consecrated to Amun, the god of Wisdom. But history shows it revived by Ammonius Saccas, the founder of the Neo-Platonic School. It was the aim and purpose of Ammonius to reconcile all sects, peoples and nations under one common faith -- a belief in one Supreme Eternal, Unknown, and Unnamed Power, governing the Universe by immutable and eternal laws. His object was to prove a primitive system of Theosophy, which at the beginning was essentially alike in all countries; to induce all men to lay aside their strifes and quarrels, and unite in purpose and thought as the children of one common mother; to purify the ancient religions, by degrees corrupted and obscured, from all dross of human element, by uniting and expounding them upon pure philosophical principles.
