Tradition

Celtic Spiral DividerCeltic Spiral DividerCeltic Spiral DividerCeltic Spiral Divider

Many pagans and witches have a "Book of Shadows" wherein they keep the information that is fundamental to their religious belief and practice.  I have also seen this represented as a "Book of Lights and Shadows", which I consider more balanced, and therefore a better reflection of what I believe.  Each time I thought on the matter, I found myself reminded of Aristotle's notion that all truth as understood by man is as the shadows cast upon the wall of a cave, with the real truth between the fire and the men who watched the wall.  Here, then, you may find all the truths we have gathered together, in this, our Circle of Firelight.

Here you will find our beliefs, our myths, our holidays and their meanings, all of the foundations for our religion.  Our ethics and our actions all arise from our basic beliefs about the nature of the world.
