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 don't adhere to any religious dogma, but am rather a free and independent spirit who has an immense appreciation and respect for all living beings. I sense that you are the same.

You have good gut instincts. For example, I know that intelligent, self aware species of whales and dolphins have language and culture and do not deserve the specio-centric label of ignorant beasts our species of hairless primates likes to label them with.

I respect all life in general first and foremost as the most important thing to preserve and protect as well. Humans will only get to where they claim they want to go to religiously and culturally if they get over themselves and climb down their self manufactured pedestal and learn to respect themselves as one of many of Earth's species of animals.

A species that is going to have a large and very cruel die off sooner then we think if we don't curb our appetite for goods and resources and bring our numbers back into the carrying capabilities of Earth's biosphere.
