Chri- stianity became fossilised before it reached the wisdom and tolerance of maturity, let us not make the same mistake. Paganism has always had its strength in its diversity and fluidity, constantly adapting according to time and location. The form is always evolving but the essence remains. This fluidity is indeed part of the essence, and differentiates us from the anachronists who seek only relief from reality. To the Pagan, reality is not the tiresome mud of everyday, but colourful clay to be moulded lovingly in our hands.
Paganism is our way and warriorship is our vehicle.
Without warri- orship, Paganism becomes quaint anachronism. In my tradition warrior- ship is not about aggression, in fact a warrior has gone beyond the need for aggression. Warriorship is actually magick, the art of ma- nifesting the True Will. An aspect of this is illustrated in our understanding of the Berserk. A berserk was originally one who fought without a shirt, bare from the waist up.
