Sample Book Insights:
#1 Shamanism is the first religion, and it existed prior to the earliest civilizations. It was created by the first humans with knowledge, and they gained access to it through ecstasy, alternate states of consciousness.
#2 Wicca is a religion that utilizes magic. It teaches that the physical world is one of many realities, and that the physical is not the absolute highest expression. The only difference between the physical and the spiritual is that the former is denser.
#3 Wicca is a religion that embraces magic. It is a harmonious movement of energies to create needed change. Wiccans don’t believe in predestination, and they believe that they are free souls with full control and responsibility of their lives.
#4 Wicca, like all religions, reveres a supreme divine power. The Wicca believe that this power exists beyond our comprehension, and they link with it through their deities. The deities were personified into two basic beings: the Goddess and the God.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

Shamanism is the first religion, and it existed prior to the earliest civilizations. It was created by the first humans with knowledge, and they gained access to it through ecstasy, alternate states of consciousness.

#2

Wicca is a religion that utilizes magic. It teaches that the physical world is one of many realities, and that the physical is not the absolute highest expression. The only difference between the physical and the spiritual is that the former is denser.

#3

Wicca is a religion that embraces magic. It is a harmonious movement of energies to create needed change. Wiccans don’t believe in predestination, and they believe that they are free souls with full control and responsibility of their lives.

#4

Wicca, like all religions, reveres a supreme divine power. The Wicca believe that this power exists beyond our comprehension, and they link with it through their deities. The deities were personified into two basic beings: the Goddess and the God.

#5

The God and the Goddess are equal, and neither is more deserving of respect than the other. They are the creators of all manifest and unmanifest existence, and they are within us and around us.

#6

The Goddess is the universal mother. She is the source of fertility, wisdom, and loving caresses. She is at once the unploughed field, the full harvest, and the dormant, frost-covered earth. She gives birth to abundance.

#7

The God is the source of all life, and he is also the tender of the wild animals. He is the fully ripened harvest, intoxicating wine pressed from grapes, golden grain waving in a lone field, and shimmering apples hanging from verdant boughs on October afternoons.

#8

The Goddess and God can help us change our lives. We can call upon them to empower our rites and blessings, which are in direct opposition to most religions.

#9

To know the gods, take long walks beneath trees. Study flowers and plants. Visit wild, natural places and feel the energies of the Goddess and God directly.

#10

The basic ritual of Wicca is to attune with the deities. It is a never-ending process of discovering new deities, which constantly reveal themselves. As the shamans say, Be attentive.

#11

The Wicca religion acknowledges the dark aspects of the Goddess and God, as well as the bright. All nature is composed of opposites, and this polarity is also present within ourselves. We must rise above our destructive urges and channel those energies into positive thoughts and actions.

#12

Wicca is a religion that incorporates magic as one of its core beliefs. Magic allows us to improve our lives and return energy to our ravaged planet. It is a religious practice in Wicca.

#13

Wiccans use magic to improve their lives and the lives of others. They invoke the Goddess and God to bless their magic with power. During ritual, they ask that a specific need be met.

#14

I use a ritual to help me focus my concentration and visualization.
