Jun. 14th, 2006 06:48 amThe usual Free Will Astrology:
Most modern religions propose that we need intermediaries--priests, priestesses, rabbis, imams, monks--to get connected to the divine source. In contrast, many ancient Gnostics believed that every person could be in charge of creating his or her own link to spirit. Indeed, anyone might contribute fresh insights and revelations to the body of ever-evolving spiritual truths. The equivalent today would be if the Bible were regarded as an unfinished text to which every Christian or Jew could add new content. This is a perfect astrological moment for you to try out this perspective, Scorpio: the do-it-yourself approach to creating your own religion. You now have the power to be your own priest, priestess, rabbi, imam, or monk.
Dood. I already did. That's part of why I'm Wiccan anyway. *lol* But I usually get a lot of my inspiration from books and other people, so maybe I'll do less of that this week, hm?
