Here is an interesting philosophy. I've always liked this:

The Nine Principles of the Goddess

1. I acknowledge that there is one Goddess in essence, Creatrix of all existences; Her forms are infinite, She manifests Herself in our love, and we are all Her lovers.

2. Treat all beings with reciprocity, for the Goddess lives in them as well as in us.

3. Tolerate other religions and do not compel others to join the circle of the Goddess: the Goddess will draw those to Her who are ready and hear Her call.

4. Worship Her by restoring balance to Her planet.

5. Eat mostly grains, vegetables and fruits, so that there will be enough food for all; when you eat thank the Goddess, the provider of all energy. It is not forbidden to eat animal flesh in moderation, but when you do so you must thank the animal that you eat as well.

6. In the circle of the Goddess create consensus while respecting diversity of opinion. On the path of the Goddess there are many paths.

7. In your home create a sacred space for the Goddess to please Her. Meditate on the Goddess three times a day, at rising, at noon and at sundown.

8. Sexuality is Her sacrament; enjoy this gift and bless those who you share it with love and affection. Remember that overcoming jealousy is the cause of cessation of the cycle of rebirth.

9. Announce the religion of the Goddess to the world through good works, honest words and selfless acts of beauty and love.

Wife-swapping as the path to spiritual enlightenment and liberation, heh.

These things are generally made up by deceitful people, and it shows in the disjointed construction of the "philosophy."

For example, principle number one is phrased in the first person, as if this were some oath for one to recite. But then the rest are phrased in the second person, as directives or commands.

I see this disjointed incoherence in most religions, but most blatantly and commonly in neopagan constructs.

Number nine, of course, convicts the author, as those words are dishonest and self-serving, and because propagating fraud into the collective consciousness is a spiteful, ugly thing to do and an all-in-all bad work.

Even the Book of Runes now contains a preface which acknowledges that the "meaning" of each rune was made up by the author. I think that if people who make these things up would make sure that there is a footnote or preface or something like that which informs the reader of the fictitious nature of the writings, then they might avoid the contempt of those who care about truth.

Somebody just make some shit up and pretend it's some ancient religion, they have a serious smack-down coming to 'em, IMO. Steering people wrong in life.

"Somebody just make some shit up and pretend it's some ancient religion, they have a serious smack-down coming to 'em, IMO. Steering people wrong in life."

Sometimes religion has to be regrouped and reconstituted. My faith of Wicca is based on Goddess based religion suppressed and largely destroyed by intolerant faiths such as Christianity.

If there is a need because people know the truth is still there, they are going to satisfy the religious need even if the documentation such as written history and doctrine has been largely eradicated. Let the blessings be.

I hear ya, "Ne'er again the burning times!"

But, in fact, it isn't based on any such thing. The various paths in Wicca are do-it-yourself fictions, more akin to D and D role playing than any other neopagan construct I've seen. Having said that, I can acknowledge that making something up for yourself could be healthier than following a demonstrably destructive doctrine, but the whole Wiccan claim to some ancient pagan heritage is false. Likewise Druidry.

Nevertheless, blessed be yourself, as well : )

I belong to a local Wicca group that is large, very vibrant and healthy. I see the deep need and richness of my religion constantly. I'm not sure why you mention Dungeons and Dragons in reference to Wicca, as that game is no more Wiccan in nature then GTO is a course in driving.

All religions have a mortal, very human membership, and is based on their needs. And my religion fulfills my needs profoundly, and I note your criticism is common and we Wicca practitioners hear it all the time from Christians.

So insecure Christians are to have to do this. Me thinks they themselves sense the core emptiness of their faith and often work to tear others down and to destroy their faiths to strengthen conscious denial of unconscious fears - much as their sister faith Islam does.
