However, Gods, Goddesses and Spirits are personae with their own agenda, and should not be considered merely aspects of human psychology, as the Jungians would have it. We accept the Divinity of every living Being in the universe. A religion is a body of sacred myths, metaphors, observances and practices in a cultural context, which are designed to connect individuals with Divinity and heal the rift between dichotomized aspects of existence. We observe that the great dilemma of present-day human society seems to be the alienation caused by splitting apart man and woman, humanity and Nature, matter and spirit, light and dark, good and evil. There are many religions, and they are not all of the same mold.
Pagans create no artificial demarcation between the sacred and the secular.
To a Pagan, religion is ultimately a whole way of life, nor some acts performed once a week in a ritual. And the CAW is essentially and profoundly Pagan. Paganism is re-emerging today because natural religion is a spontaneous evocation of the spirit of Life, and will inevitably find expression in human cultures. The practices of the ancient Pagans occurred during a different era in culture, when we lived closer to the land and were more directly connected with farming. Much of what was practiced has been lost, due to the persecutions from the onset of the Bronze Age, through the Inquisition and Witch burnings, to the present day.
