Random thoughts..

Random thoughts while walking...
- About magic: It is a joke to think that one person have the power to "dominate" the nature (dominating the nature, would be like.. dominating God). But, I do think that one person can influence the "flow" of nature. In other words, If God is a river, you will not and can not make a dam and modify its course, but you can, humbly, take a small woodstick and draw a small line, and a few drops of the river will flow by that channel

- Another thing I've been thinking, but its hard to explain. you can't adore "God" we.. can't understand God. so we divide it, Christians don't worship God, but Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Virgin . Wiccans worship the Father and the Mother, even Jews meditate about the Ten Aspects of the God.
We need to pray to something more.. human, more like us. God is..so everything, that, why he would help us to accomplish our everyday tasks? No,
That's why we pray on angels, and virgins, Gods and Godesses...

at the end, they are all the same. everything is God, there is a bit of truth in every single religion :-)

I guess next time I'll be talking about the will and the ritual and why do I consider this to be of *extreme* importance

Because it's Friday...

So, while reading "Canterbury Tales" I came across this beautiful quote that I'd like to share

As it happens on Fridays, as soon the sun shines, it pours, that's the way, Venus changes at her will the hearts of her servants. Changing is her day (that it is rarely the same every week) y changing are the Goddess dispositions

It is very beautiful, and this is a poor translation from Spanish to English. I'd really appreciate the original text. I'll be looking for it.
I love the idea that each day of the week is assigned to a God, in Spanish, Friday is Viernes, so.. Viernes is for Venus :)

The book is full of symbolism, and there are three deep prayers andt I'd really like to analyze, the structure of the prayer.

I'll just leave the quotes that I bookmarked and that I enjoyed the most (the ones I couldn't help noticing a certain.. I don't know, let's say "Hermetic" smell )

(while praying to Goddess Diana) So, my lady, for the three shapes that you contain...

Pretty self explanatory, right

(Saturn talking to Venus) Because it is me who makes the vengeance and complete punishes while I am at Leo's sign (...) I killed Samsom when he took the columns

This one was very interesting.. So God Saturn is present even in a Biblical event...

I also found fascinating that, even when prayers, temples and holocaust were offered to Greek Goddesses, there was a constant references to God, an unique God, made of nature.

Having in mind that those are tales written by 1370, it is very interesting to see the how the pagan view of the Divinity coexisted in a very natural way with the Hebrew idea of an unique God.
