As much as there is a sense of environmental grief within society and our circlesāwatching land be destroyed, knowledge of extinct species, etcādo you ever think there is a sense of spiritual grief for us pagans?
Do you ever wonder what the world would be like if paganism wasn't forced out of society? If our temples and shrines were still visited and offerings were still left, if our symbols were everywhere and not worn on a necklace hidden beneath our shirts, if in every woodland grove there was a statue of Cernuunos, on every mountain a sculpture of Skadi, if hearthcraft and spellwork and old herbalism/magic/knowledge was handed down through the generations.....
I know that paganism is greatly growing in numbers, but I wonder what the strength of our community would look like if our oral traditions and spiritual histories were never broken. The stories we'd be raised on could topple the highest of kings.
