Thoughs on being a Pagan

This is the essential practice for all pagans and shamanic practitioners.
The ability to listen to the environment around you remove the extraneous madness of the human race and tune into the web of life.
That listening has to extend and extend over your time as a conscious incarnate being. To perceive the voices of the stars and the nature of the Cosmos we are part off. Sciences is not our enemy it is the child that the pagans of all our ancestry have given birth to.
As with all parents they want their child to excel what they have achieved.
They also want them to respect their elders This we know is not always possible  especially if the elders do not respect them selves and live up to their own standards and expectations.
   

Chose your Deities wisely learn what they stand for be as carefully about them as you would be about choosing loyal friends.
A good yardstick is if you would not choose them as friends then they are not a force you should be getting involved with.
In the case of Yemaye here possessing this priestess
My current relationship with her is because I want to do what I can to repair her damaged oceans. and make apologies for the ignorance of my race in its so far unending of corruption and pollution it poisons them with.    



Have wisdom in the alliances you make for they often have consequences far beyond your own personal sphere

Bigotry is not an option.
We are all human beings and we come in all sorts, shapes, sizes, colors, ethnic, religious , cultural, sexual relationships, political beliefs. the list is really endless. We are the multi-verses we chose to create for our selves for as long as our specific consciousness remains in tact or if you prefer for as long as God wills it. Though from a personal point of view god and the cosmos are the same thing !

Some of my recent drawing meditations on the nature of the Orisha`s
The urge to create is often driven by the subconscious. It is also the earliest way the shamanic peoples channeled the spirit of the Cosmos, the God, the Goddess, gained power over the animals and dreamed the world into being .
 We all must stay mindful of our animal ancestry. An seek the path to true enlightenment and perfection of creations Nobel destiny. We must not be drawn into our own cycle of self destruction and self mutilation that our current system of world organization is leading us to.
Our destiny is to return to the stars from which we are made this our true purpose. We are the eyes, ears, hands, feet, thoughts and actions of the creation. we are here to experience and interpreter the reality of creation
