When
I was a pagan, my religion was something that I celebrated on the
sabbats, and acted upon when the need arose. My God was he that I
greeted at dawn, and she that I greeted at moonrise. She was the Earth
and He was the Hunt. They were there all the time, on the wind and in
the rain, each exerting their power over their own spheres of this
world. Unity was found in the act of love and in making love. Now as a
Christian, my God is everywhere and everything. He and She are one, and
all, and none at all. He is the days and the hours, and the weeks and
the years. He is the sunrise and the sun, and the moonrise and the moon.
He is the Agape, the Love that ebbs and flows among all things. He is
the everything that ever was and everything that will ever be. He came
before the gods of my youth, and he will be long after the memory of
them has faded from these lands, for He is them than they are He. The
time of many gods has passed from my world, for when there are many
there are irreconcilable differences. When there is One there is unity,
for it is One that is at the very heart of Unity.
