Your Charm for Today

Gemini the Twins

Today’s Meaning:
This aspect of your life will be strongly influenced by a person who is adaptable, versatile, communicative, witty, intellectual, eloquent, youthful and lively. This could be a sibling, a child or a very close friend.

General Description:
Third sign of the Zodiac, May 22nd to June 21st. Ruling planet Mercury; correct metal, Silver. Those born under the influence of Gemini were believed to be endowed with strong intellectual powers, high aspirations, to be shrewd, ingenious and vivacious, but restless and fond of change. The Gemini stones are Agates and Emeralds. Agate talismans were worn by the orientals for eloquence, and adverting ill health, also to bring fortune and good luck. The Greeks and Romans had great faith in AGate amulets, wearing them for health, wealth, and long life. Queen Elizabeth possessed a large engraved Agate, which was supposed to be endowed with magical powers.

Shuffling The Cards, Your Past, Present & Future Reading for Today

 

Past Influence whose impact on your life is waning.

The Rose

The White Rose indicates the need for or the presence of purity of intention. The question to ponder is, “Am I/he/she being self-serving, or other-directed?” The caution is that even if we are reasonably certain our motives are generous, if we are yet attempting to impose our idea of what should be, we are not acting at the level of the White Rose. When the White Rose appears, examine your own and others’ motives, and then trust the answer that brings you true peace of mind.

 

Present Influence whose impact on your life is very strong.

The Journey

While physical travel may be involved, The Journey represents an individual’s spiritual trek from one point to another. The Journey is represented by a sailboat gliding across an open sea. Like those traversing the ocean The Journey requires that we move off the firm ground of our present state and strike out for a new destination. The trip itself may well be full of adventure and challenges. There may be times when we lose sight of where we came from and possibly not even know where we’re going. Storms may crop up without warning. Diversions may slow our progress to our destination down. While it’s good to have an idea of where you want to go, it’s equally important to remember that often it’s the getting there and not the destination that is the most rewarding. To take such a spiritual voyage takes courage and conviction that direction in which your are moving is right for you.

 

Future influence whose impact on your life is growing and will be very strong in the future.

Ancestors

Ancestors represents the ongoing influence and remarkable contributions those who came before us have made to our state of being. Ancestors also reminds us that sometimes old wisdom is the best wisdom–especially when events are moving in ways we do not understand. Ancestors can bring comfort to a shaken spirit. It is a card of warmth in the sense that it reminds us that the spirit of past generations remains with us and can be called upon for guidance at any time.

Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for May 26th is Fortune

Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for Today

Fortune



Fortune represents that aspect of life that is directed by forces and events we may not understand or even be aware of. In short, Fortune deals with chance—those occurrences that manage to alter even the most structured of lives, usurp man’s “best laid plans.” While the effects of Fortune are unpredictable, the outcome is always change; sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Our path through life is never a ride down a perfectly straight highway. Sometimes we may even experience hairpin turns or complete reversals of direction. Fortune is strong reminder that despite our plans, the Universe has its own agenda from which we cannot escape participation.

Your Rune for May 26th is Isa

bw-isa

bw-isaYour Rune For Today
Isa

The Ice Rune, represents stagnation and a passionless existence. Your life’s course may seem blurry at the moment, but if you persevere you will move onto better days.

Additional information about Today’s Rune, Isa. . .

isa : ice

Phonetic equivalent: i (ee as in ‘eel’)

DIVINATORY MEANINGS:
inactivity, blockage, stagnation, potential, patience, reflection, withdrawl, rest
MAGICAL USES:
to stop a process; to represent primal form
ASSOCIATED MYTHS & DEITIES:
Auðumla, Nifelheim
ANALYSIS:
In modern symbology, fire is generally masculine and ice (or earth) is feminine, but it is unknown whether the Norse shared this association. Certainly, ice was a constant factor in their day to day lives. It threatened their crops and their ships almost throughout the year, but it also served as a symbol of creation, from which all life will eventually spring. It says something about the Norse mind that they could recognize the need to have such a seemingly destructive joining of elements in order to create and maintain life. Fire may be warm and pleasant, but it must be balanced by the freezing of winter just as birth must be balanced by death. Even the little death of sleep has been proven to be vital for our mental and physical well-being.
Isa encompasses all of these ideas, but primarily represents a period of rest before activity, and itself forms the material from which life can be created. It is matter, inert by itself, but transformed into the stuff of stars when wedded with energy. It is the immovable form acted upon the irresistible force. In many ways, the Norse predicted Einstein with their version of the creation of the universe, recognizing that everything in their world contained both fire and ice (energy and matter), and that the relationship between the two defined the processes of life itself.

Your Daily Tarot Card for May 26th is The Hierophant

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

The Hierophant



The Hierophant represents the protector of a culture’s heritage and traditions. His purpose is to defend and teach the established ways and beliefs a group embraces. He is inherently conventional and a true believer in the power of the group. He loves the structure of the group and its values. It is the task of The Hierophant to bring new members into the group—to prepare the uninitiated to take their rightful place in his culture. In this sense he is very much like a teacher or a priest. He also acts as the repository of his group’s history. The Hierophant is certainly not one to buck proper authority. However, he is a staunch and worthy defender of the tried and true. He represents the positive aspects of tradition and conformity.

Your Horoscopes for Wednesday, May 27th

Aries 

The early morning can be mentally busy, Aries, after which this can be a pleasant day that flows quite naturally. Loving feelings come easily. With Venus in self-protective Cancer these days, you are drawn to, and value, familiar situations, people, and feelings, particularly in love. Today, you are particularly interested in creating or maintaining harmony in your relationships and in your home. If you need to repair a relationship, it’s a particularly strong time to do so. Being willing to approach emotional matters in unique ways is the key now. There can be healing happening through quiet or family activities, or even through a bit of solitude.

Taurus

The morning continues the higher energy of yesterday, dear Taurus, but as the day advances, you’re more inclined to settle in. It’s a good time for talking about something close to your heart. It’s also a fine time for presenting your ideas or your case, and for building trust or winning others’ favor. If there have been relationship difficulties, you might feel a nice rush of optimism and energy to repair them. With Venus currently transiting your communications zone, you feel positive in relationships when there’s good verbal rapport. Today brings strong energy for opening up conversations and feeling the support of people in your life. There can be a real feeling of emotional wholeness through your conversations and connections.

Gemini

The morning brings a stronger desire to take action, to make things happen, and to think and possibly over-think, Gemini. As the day advances, you have especially good instincts for what is truly valuable to you. This might seem straightforward, but in fact, we are not always in touch with what we really want and what means the most to us, and this can apply to both tangibles and intangibles. Today, circumstances are such that you see these things more clearly, and you are less likely to question commitments. This is a good time for opening your heart and letting some of your fears drop. Others seem to be on your side. It’s also a strong time for combining talents, abilities, and resources with someone quite successfully in order to get something constructive done. An unusual or nontraditional approach to business today can be most worthwhile.

Cancer

The morning is mentally busy, Cancer, and it’s possible that you find it difficult to rest. However, as the day moves forward, you are likely to feel much more at ease. It’s a strong time for personal charm with Venus in your sign supported by Chiron. People are especially drawn to your wisdom and advice or support. You can feel an opening up of your heart and if you’ve been feeling insecure about a relationship, this can dissipate right now. You are more courageous with your feelings and emotionally sure-footed. You are approaching matters of the heart and relationships in general in an open, unique way, and this helps to break down walls.

Leo

Your mind can be very busy this morning, dear Leo, and it can be difficult to put it to rest. You may be going over exciting new ideas. As the day moves forward, though, it’s quite easy to relax. There can be nice opportunities to revitalize a relationship or to reconnect with your inner world. You can see others’ actions in a more compassionate light as well. There could be a new understanding about a private matter or relationship. You are a little more open to sharing something personal, and this can be a pleasant, helpful release. There can be new understanding of an emotional matter, and there can be a focus on unblocking and healing now.

Virgo

There can be many ideas about long-term plans or business and career matters racing through your head early today, Virgo. There can be a surge of motivation to handle problems or to resume an old project. You may have far more ideas than time, however! As the day moves forward, you’re more inclined to relax. There can be some wonderful connections made or special pleasure derived from friends or plans and dreams of the future. You’re focused on the positive and the growth-oriented aspects of your relationships today, and you might learn a lot through others with your heart as open as it is today.

Libra

While the day starts off very “mental”, dear Libra, as it moves forward, feelings are more strongly in focus. The morning can bring some racing thoughts and an abundance of ideas, after which there is a tendency to want to relax and enjoy yourself. Personal appeal is good, and matters of the heart are strong. You are more open to learning from others, and this helps you to pick up a lot more than usual. Business and practical sense are improved with a nice dose of intuition and confidence, and you could feel more valued by others, especially those you work with or in a position of authority. If you feel a need to improve or repair trust and warmth in a relationship, this can be a good time for it. The Moon enters your sign this evening, and this brings emotions up to the surface.

Scorpio

The day begins at an accelerated pace, dear Scorpio, although this may happen only in your mind! New ideas and old problems can keep your mind racing, but the day’s energies change significantly going forward. It’s a strong day to improve and repair relationships. If you’re thinking of something nice about someone, share it, as it can open others up, and good conversations as well, which can open up new ways of thinking and new perspectives. If you need advice or simply would enjoy others’ perspectives, this is a good time to reach out. Acceptance and patience are key ingredients for successful relationships now, and fortunately, quite easy to come by.

Sagittarius 

Morning’s energies are busy and especially focused on ideas or movement, dear Sagittarius, but as the day advances, there is less of a rush. It’s time to tune in to feelings and to give your brain a rest! Venus in your intimacy sector these days can get you into stronger touch with your emotional attachments and inner passions, and today, the pipeline is way open with Venus in fortunate aspect to Chiron. Chiron is currently residing in your sector of home, family, the past, and personal identity, stirring up vulnerabilities and offering gifts of vision in these areas. This can also be a good time for working through sharing problems, problems with finances, or other matters of support and backing. It’s a strong time for repairing relationship woes, if necessary, or of coming to a better understanding of your relationship situation.

Capricorn

The morning brings a quick pace and a focus on matters of the mind, dear Capricorn, but as the day moves forward, connections and attachments, as well as emotions and feelings, tend to take over. Personal appeal is good, and you might enjoy a feeling of warmth and faithfulness in a relationship, particularly as you open up and allow yourself to feel a little vulnerable. It’s a good day for getting closer to someone. Venus has been moving through your partnership sector, and this tends to bring a little more harmony in relationships. Today, Venus connects beautifully to Chiron, stimulating more understanding and respect. Conversations are open, words are healing, and you are focused on improving and growing.

Aquarius

The day begins with rather nervous energy, dear Aquarius, that could have your mind racing, but might also stimulate a nice feeling of enthusiasm for recent ideas. As the day advances, there is easier, perhaps lazier, energy. You can experience a stronger sense of what is valuable to you, both with tangibles and intangibles. This can result in strong business intuition or the scoping out of a good deal. On another level, it’s a strong time for appreciating people in your life and the relationships you already have. There can be a comforting feeling of being pleased with recent accomplishments or the work you’re doing. This is a good day for healing, accepting, and unblocking, largely through feeling more appreciative of what’s already in place in your life.

Pisces

The day begins with quite a bit of energy and a strong focus on ideas, dear Pisces. Your mind can be hopping. However, as the day advances, there is a tendency to be drawn to people and situations that are good for you and that give you a nice sense that you’re growing, improving, learning, and healing. People are especially drawn to you, as well. It’s a good day for personal appeal, matters of the heart, creative projects, and romantic notions. Focus on releasing pressure, repairing relationships, and opening up to loving feelings. People are more open-hearted now. People tend to awaken new feelings in you, and there is a sense of being guided or guiding others that leaves you feeling stronger.

Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, May 26th

 

Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, May 26th

 

Aries 

You tend to speak with more passion today, Aries, and you may be very quick to communicate. Of course, hasty communications can sometimes be regrettable, so you may want to watch for that, but you may very well enjoy the ability to make quicker decisions or to handle a matter that you’ve put aside. Mental energy runs high today, and it should be kept in mind that people may not be saying what’s in their hearts. As such, it’s better to keep some emotional distance if engaging in debates. There can be many distractions, but this can be a great day for reviving an old mental interest or idea.

Taurus

While the Moon in your entertainment zone all day stimulates a desire/need to let loose your more playful side, Taurus, you can also feel quite motivated to put an idea into action, solve a problem, and get things done. This is especially the case with finances and business. Some of you could feel reason to defend yourself or come to the defense of someone. You are a little more impulsive than usual, and decisions can be made quickly, and ideally not hastily. This is a good time to revisit old ideas and perhaps update them. Review of past purchases or budgets can be fruitful.

Gemini

Mental energy is abundant today, and while it can sometimes cross over the line of excess, Gemini, you can get a lot done. The desire to build something for yourself or to take action on your ideas can be powerful now, and you are more willing to do what it takes to make things happen. You may want to watch for impulsive or unintentionally insensitive remarks, as your mind is working a lot faster than your heart, and at a quicker pace than that of most people around you. Of course, you can blurt something out and immediately prepare yourself for damage control. However, you may decide to consider consequences first and save yourself the trouble.

Cancer

This can be a day in which there is a lot of energy and animation surrounding a matter or a person from your past that has resurfaced, Cancer. You could find that you have more energy for putting something to rest, or for dealing with a nagging problem once and for all. A new piece of information, or a sudden memory, can make your mind race today, and there can be new insight into a matter. If you can harness the extra energy (mostly mental energy) you can be very productive today. There can be a desire to share something private or to release a mental burden, although you may want to doublecheck that you are not revealing something prematurely. Gather your facts before jumping into something.

Leo

Others can notice you for your especially unique point of view or accurate observations today, Leo, and you can enjoy a nice feeling of invigoration and enthusiasm. Be aware that there can be a tendency to misconstrue or to put a lot of energy into something that you change your mind about later. As well, it can be especially important to pay attention to emotional cues and not only intellectual ones, and avoid taking others’ possibly insensitive commentary to heart as well. Otherwise, this can be an exciting day in which new visions and ideas are inspiring and light a fire under you. Conversations with friends or groups, and meetings in general tend to be animated and worthwhile.

Virgo

You’re communicating and coming across with considerable strength today, Virgo, with the Moon in your sign and your ruler, Mercury, approaching an alignment with Mars. What you communicate has more impact than usual, so be certain you know what you’re talking about! There is a tendency to live in the mind, so you may want to double check that your heart is behind what you’re expressing. You can be especially busy going over past work, researching ideas for future plans and goals, or doing editing activities. Try to balance logic and emotion. Be firm and true to yourself in your dealings with others today.

Libra

This is a day of increased motivation and determination to get things done, or at the very least, to understand something more thoroughly, Libra. There is an extra dose of sharpness in your mental capacities now, and you’re inclined to look to the past to examine problems or put something to rest. Focus on tying up loose ends. You can be quick to debate or defend an opinion or cause today and tomorrow morning. Watch for too much living in the mind, however, as this can temporarily dull sensitivity to emotional cues. Be cautious about what you express, and if something said truly bothers you and causes your mind to race, try to wait before reacting, as the tendency to misinterpret runs high. You may be craving some alone or rest time today, and if you can take it, do so, with the Moon in your recuperative solar twelfth house all day.

Scorpio

This is a good time to tackle projects or endeavors that you’ve let slide or that you’ve avoided in the past, Scorpio. There is mental courage today, more than usual, as well as a real desire to make things happen. Some of you could make an important discovery about finances or in a research project. There can be a competitive feeling today, and this can be used positively as motivation to make improvements. Restlessness might lead you to big discoveries, but it can also lead you down a frustrating path if you’re not careful. Focus on existing problems now for best results, rather than looking for new ones! Avoid pushing too hard for answers unless you’re prepared to truly get them. This is a strong day for review, research, and the revival of old interests or ideas.

Sagittarius 

With Mercury and Mars coming to a conjunction in your partnership sector today, there can be an accelerated, energized pace to a relationship, Sagittarius. Impulsive communications are a tendency. Others may be reacting strongly or acting a little unpredictable. You may very well learn from the experience. You may be revisiting an old problem, and this time finding answers to it. An old relationship or significant person in your life can be in strong focus. Try not to be oversensitive to changes of plans or to others’ comments. Let others express themselves, but draw the line if you feel someone’s overstepping or too pushy with you. Channel the extra energy you have today into truly productive activities.

Capricorn

An old problem or grievance, particularly work or health-related, can crop up today, demanding your attention, dear Capricorn. There can be a quickened pace to your routines and work, and to the day in general, and you can be filled with a sudden desire to get busy, to make a real difference, and to sort out problem areas. It’s a great time to find ways to reduce waste – you are especially resourceful and can easily get to the point or bottom line. Mental energy is strong today, and you are best off if you can use it to clear away clutter or otherwise clean up your life in little yet significant ways. Others may be falling behind you in terms of work or contributions, and it’s best not to worry too much about it. Also, watch for sharp words, whether you’re hearing or saying them. There is a business-like, slightly impatient quality to the day.

Aquarius

There can be animation surrounding children, a romantic partner, a friend, or a creative project today, Aquarius, with Mars and retrograde Mercury meeting up in a sector of your chart that rules these matters. There may be surprises or excitement now, a desire to get to the bottom of a matter, and a need to solve a problem from the past. You can get very fired up about an interest or idea, and may be focused on past ideas, projects, or even people. It’s a strong day for feeling motivated to sort things out. For some of you, there can be an undeniable urge to express yourself in a creative, unique manner, and people tend to admire you for your ideas. As long as you avoid impulsive decisions or an overly competitive disposition, this can be a great day for increased motivation levels, making a real dent in your to-do list, and solving old problems.

Pisces

This can be a good day for picking up where you left off on an old project, Pisces, particularly around the home or with family. Something from the past might resurface, and it can be refreshing as you uncover needs that you have either denied in the past or simply overlooked. Home may not exactly be your haven today, as it’s likely to be quite busy and possibly hectic, and if you’re away from home, it may be that your own brain feels overloaded or especially excitable. Prepare for changes in plans and some level of restlessness, but also a real chance to get things done. Conversations can be lively. A partner may be taking the lead today or energizing and encouraging you.

a message from Kelly M. Beard
To view more of Kelly’s insight, please visit her website, www.KarmicTools.com

The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pay extremely close attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you move along your Individual Path. It also helps to understand your place within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below, you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as guidance and direction.

*NOTE* There are some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations of each week + the day they happen.
Weekly Forecast: May 24 – 30, 2015

5/25 ~ Venus (relationships) ~square~ Uranus (freedom):

This energy usually provokes the need for excitement or stimulation in your relationships. You may feel the urge to shake things up. Be aware of others’ feelings too, they may not be in the mood for sudden change. Another expression of this energy is to get things on the table; it’s a great time to really discuss things and come to an agreement or compromise. This could actually stimulate something new and different that you can share with another. Ultimately, this is a test of your flexibility in relationships. The more inflexible you are, the more disruptive this energy will be.

5/25 ~ Mars (desire) ~square~ Neptune (illusions):

This can be an annoying energy, to say the least. Basically, you may be confronted with challenges which are a direct result of earlier choices. These are the kind of choices you eventually realized were wrong and “hoped” the consequences would somehow pass you by. Not. You may feel very discouraged, possibly depressed, and be filled with fear and doubt. The key to getting through this energy is to take a step back, reflect on your choices and what led you to this point and, as objectively as possible, evaluate what went wrong. The tendency with this energy is to want to give up completely on the path you have chosen when all that is necessary is a little tweaking. Identify the aspect that is causing the conflict. If you don’t feel that you can be objective enough or that you struggle with identifying this aspect, enlist two other people to give you their opinion and follow your gut instinct on the direction to take from here. The other temptation with this energy is to be deceptive – either to your Self or others. Either way – don’t give in – it will only come back to bite you (harder) later. Your physical energy is likely to be low as well. Do not force your Self to do anything you are truly not “feeling” right now. Instead, mediate on what action may be necessary when your energy returns. Be still. Avoid confrontations with others as it is just the conflicting energy kicking and it is not likely that a resolution can be found under this influence regardless. My personal two-cents about these two planets (Mars & Neptune) in a difficult angle, is to reflect on what actions (Mars) have been taken (and NOT worked) toward the fulfillment of your dreams (Neptune) – and start your “tweaking” there.

5/27 ~ Mercury (thoughts) ~conjunct~ Mars (energy):

I have to preface this with two things: (1) is when Mercury is involved, it is a relatively fast-moving energy. (2) is when Mars is involved, being the lower version of power (Pluto being the Higher version), reminds us that with power, also comes responsibility. Now, that all said, the positive expression of this energy is that you can control your mind and direct it with passion, getting tangible results. This heightens your intellectual ability and mental capacity (for better or worse). You will be able to clearly articulate your thoughts and you should have quick, effective responses. If you maintain your integrity, this is an excellent time to ‘fuel’ major creative expression. If this energy manifests is negative side, it can make you petty and combative, arguing over nonsense and wasting precious time and energy in ego control-dramas. And if it is not coming FROM you, it is just as possible to be coming AT you (from others). This is the best time to put your energy (Mars) behind your thoughts, ideas and words (Mercury). The power of this pairing is that they are occupying the same space, essentially energizing each other.

5/29 ~ Mercury (communication) ~square~ Neptune (dissolution):

This is a mixed blessing energy. On one hand, it’s good for spiritual study and giving your dreams a little energy (if your schedule permits). On the other hand, it makes for major miscommunications between people. Try to THINK before speaking, because if it’s possible to misunderstand or not ‘get it’ all together, it will happen this week. Be careful not to let “longing” for your dreams to come true, distort your judgment and mislead you into believing the illusion. With this energy, some people will deliberately deceive and others have to be careful not to be misled. Stick to the facts or stay quiet, for now. You may even be inclined to withhold information to avoid a confrontation – don’t do it. Communicate with your Self and God today, otherwise plan to be very clear in explaining yourself to others so there are no misunderstandings.

5/30 ~ Mercury (communication) ~conjunct~ Sun (core-Self):

This energy will compel you to express yourself on many levels. Communication will be a focus, just make sure it is reciprocated. You will have access to some powerful energy that can (and probably will) make quite an impression on others (if you need to). This is a good time to travel if possible too. However, if not physically, than mentally and certainly within your own area, you will take in more information per square inch than usual. Pay attention! You may even gain the much deserved recognition from others you have worked so hard for.

Key To My Spell ~ GPThe Witches Magick for the 26th Day of the Hare Moon – Opening Spell

Key To My Spell ~ GPOPENING SPELL

You will need two candles— one that represents you and one that represents your lover, rose-scented oil, and your lover. Select the two candles based on your birthdays as follows: Aires (red), Taurus (green), Gemini (gold), Cancer (silver), Leo (orange), Virgo (pink), Libra (white), Scorpio (red), Sagittarius (blue), Capricorn (purple), Aquarius (any color), Pisces (blue). Dress the candles with a thin coat of rose oil.

At 11: 11 p.m., anoint each other slowly with the oil, and wipe any remaining oil from your hands. Have your lover light his or her candle, and then light yours from the flame. Put the candles side by side on your altar. Merge with the divine, and say to your lover:
With this flame
I open my heart to you
I open my mind to you
I open my spirit to you
I open my body to you
Our love is boldly awakened
And I bask in your loving light
I feel your hot, passionate love flowing in and out
Flowing through me, around me, above and below me.
From oil to candle, our love does flow
As I will, make it so!

Have your lover repeat the incantation to you, and just let nature take its course. Open up to one another. Allow the candles to safely burn down.

Let’s Talk Witch – Modern Paganism and Ancient Gods

WitchMODERN PAGANISM AND ANCIENT GODS

Some modern Pagans have a devotion to a particular Goddess or God; others choose to venerate the Divine through the Gods and Goddesses of one particular pantheon. Often, however, Pagans honour the Gods under a number of different names. This can seem somewhat bewildering but it is perhaps less so if the Gods are thought of as different personalities through which the Divine has chosen to manifest Itself at different times and to different peoples.

Although modern Pagans worship the Gods using their ancient names, this does not mean that we think of our Gods in exactly the same way as ancient Pagans did. If a modern Irish woman chooses to call the Great Goddess Isis, this does not mean that her concept of Isis is exactly the same as that of an Egyptian woman 4,000 years ago. Over time, our ideas about the Gods and the nature of the Divine have changed. We are not seeking to restore our Paganism to exactly the same practices as those of our ancestors, even if this were possible. Much has been lost to us; much of our religious thinking has evolved. We must examine the ancient myths and legends in order to find a new way forward for the future. Paganism can be considered a lost knowledge which has now been rediscovered and must be reinterpreted in ways which meet the needs of people today.

Some aspects of our ancestors’ Pagan practice would not find favour today. Like Judaism and other religions of the pre- Christian period, many types of Paganism practised animal sacrifice. This is not acceptable to modern Pagans and indeed there were many ancient Pagans who practised vegetarianism. Other ancient Pagan ideas would seem bizarre nowadays. Our ancestors thought it perfectly normal to honour a Deity, make requests and then to threaten to take their worship elsewhere if their requests were not carried out. When the Gods are seen as different personalities, it is logical for people to switch allegiance if they feel they can get a ‘better deal’ elsewhere – as indeed people did with Christianity. Modern Pagans would not consider this an appropriate way in which to treat their Gods.

Today, Pagans worship the Divine as Goddess, God and also as the Great Spirit or One who is beyond all these. Some Pagans honour the Gods in their Norse form, others in Celtic form, Egyptian form or according to the ways of Native American ancestors. A distinctive feature of Paganism, however, is the emphasis it places on the Divine in female form – the Goddess.
