When
one defines oneself as Pagan, it means she or he follows an earth or
nature religion, one that sees the divine manifest in all creation. The
cycles of nature are our holy days, the earth is our temple, its plants
and creatures our partners and teachers. We worship a deity that is both
male and female, a mother Goddess and father God, who together created
all that is, was, or will be. We respect life, cherish the free will of
sentient beings, and accept the sacredness of all creation. ~Edain McCoy
Before
time was, there was The One; The One was all, and all was The One. And
the vast expanse known as the universe was The One, all wise, all
pervading, all powerful, eternally changing. And space moved. The One
molded energy into twin forms, equal but opposite, fashioning the
Goddess and God from The One and of The One. The Goddess and God
stretched and gave thanks to The One, but darkness surrounded them. They
were alone, solitary save for The One. So they formed energy into gases
and gases into suns and planets and moons; They sprinkled the universe
with whirling globes and so all was given shape by the hands of the
Goddess and God. Light arose and the sky was illuminated by a billion
suns. The Goddess and God, satisfied by their works, rejoiced and loved,
and were one. From their union sprang the seeds of all life, and the
human race so that we might achieve incarnation upon the Earth. The
Goddess chose the Moon as her symbol, and the God the Sun as his to
remind the inhabitants of Earth of their creators. All are born, live,
die and are reborn beneath the Moon and Sun; All things come to pass
there under, and all occurs with the blessings of The One, the Goddess
and God, as has been the way of existence since before time was.
