Welcome to Sacred Paths:
Life is a journey. It is a chance to see and learn new things and to
forge connections with other people, other souls also passing through
this plane of existence.
Some say there is only one
correct path to take if you wish to become one with the divine. This is
the "Straight and Narrow" espoused by most organized religions today.
In truth there is an infinite number of pathways that lead to
enlightenment.
We are all trying to reach the top of
the mountain, and it does not matter which path - or paths - we take.
Some opt for the well-paved, well-marked road. Others prefer to forge
their own trail, stopping often to watch the butterflies or look at the
wildflowers. Some take the steepest, most direct route while others
wind around the mountain in a gentle climb. Even others will switch
between paths at a whim, sometimes sliding downhill as they stumble
from one road to another.
Who is to say which of these paths is the correct one? The truth is, the only one who can make that decision is you.
At
Sacred Paths Circle, we follow the "nature trail" to the top of the
mountain. Our philosophy is based on the Wiccan and Neo-Pagan
traditions of a reverence for the Earth and her living things. We
believe in the balance between the Sacred Feminine and the Sacred
Masculine, the divine union between the God and the Goddess that brings
life and power to the Earth year after year. There is only one
commandment in this philosophy: "And it harm none, do what you will."
If you wish to know more about Sacred Paths or would like guidance on finding the correct path for you, please feel free to
contact me. Whether we follow the same path or not, there is room and love for us all!
The Rev. Kathryn van Roosendaal
