a good example was the goddess Bridget. Irish pagans wouldn't give her up during the great conversion so in a way of compromise they made her St Bridget. And misinformed patriarchy is all around not just in religion but in politics as well.
This is a good teaching my sister. Really wise. I believe the same. You are on a good journey. I am glad I found your channel. I am in so much transition spiritually, this helps. Blessings and love back!
@wbworkout Blessings beautiful soul! Thank you so much for listening! So much of us who are aware are experiencing these transitions too :D so glad you are aboard! Hugs always xxx
@Helenhealer Sending blessings your way. We must give the inchoate within a chance to be born and breath, a chance to emerge from dreams and thoughts into concrete actions and creative positive forms of authentic expression. This is the life work of ongoing enlightenment. We never become experts but grow in the realization of our actual growing ignorance which actually is a innate knowingness that wisdom and strength comes from within. We are already there, anywhere is, not this nor that.
Great video, I really appreciate this message. I would also add that the Goddess has her symbolism in Islam too if you pay attention to the Kaaba with it's vulva shaped silver frame that many pilgrims will try to kiss according to tradition. Peace & Blessings! <3
Yes, I know. It doesn't change who I am, what I believe, and what I know. Sometimes I just wish for a like-minded or at least open-minded companion. You know what I mean?
Please don't delete this video. It IS a teaching video. Everything you have said here is valid and important. Am i pagan? Yes. Am I Christian? YES! Why is it so hard for people to understand that Christ is my patron god? I don't belong with my Christian friends and my pagan friends call me a coward. If only we could find our own TRUTH!
@arieswitch376 Blessings sister xxx no one should be calling you anything but positive names. no one has the right and if this is what they call you then they are not your friends xxxx
Thank you, I believe this video was meant for me to see. For some time I felt guilty about believing in 2 separate religions. I was brought up to believing in Jesus. I still do but, I found that I gravitated towards Wicca. I feel like I am cheating on them both, & now I don't feel so bad knowing there are other Wiccans who believe in Jesus. When I was younger I was asked "What color do you think god is?" my response was that god is a rainbow and even then I knew that ppl viewed god differently.
@denverrose1021 awww God is a rainbow!!!! this is BEAUTIFUL!!! ::D you can believe whatever you want! whatever is real to you!!!! thank you so much for watching and sharing rainbows with me :D xxxxx Bless you xxxxx
I don't think you should delete this video from your channel. There are important things in this video wich are indispensable to people who are starting their path to know.
Take for example in Cyprus, Aphrodite is connected to the Virgin Mary. At the Ancient Sanctuary of Aphrodite in Paphos,Cyprus, over the Roman Temple of Aphrodite was built the Byzantine Church of St Mary. The church called PanayiaAproditisa. There are many associations between Mary & Aphrodite in Greece as well as in Cyprus her birth place. The power of Aphrodite still remains. As you said religions intermix and adapt.
@KISSTHERAINBOW9 yes this is very true :D you will find many temples of venus/astarte/aphrodite have been converted into churches for either Helen or Panagia :D They are all connected and close to us still :D Thank you so much for listening x Agapi kai fos xxx
You made a good point in the video…one has to have knowledge, tolerance, recognition, understanding, acceptance of all types of religions and not pass judgment. I was baptized Greek Orthodox, yet only follow the New Testament; the teachings of Christ. However, being exposed to Greek and Roman ancient history, archaeology, religion, etc., I also recognize pagan deities such as the Goddess Aphrodite.
Day,we have allowed our religions to seperate us instead of bringing us closer to one another. This has been our path for a very long time, yet as you said Who are we to Judge?
other religions and Other religions towards the Church. Religious Wars have been our history for far too long, and once the planet earth as a whole can realize that we all have our own faith, religion and values, and we need to respect and love that about each other, because in essence they hold very similar truths, and that is Love. Once we were literate and educated we were able to experience our own spirituality, and that is how all these different sects were created. At the end of the
Thank you for your video, what you say is very true. I was raised as a Christian, and had much anger when I learnt our history, and decided to go on a journey to find my own spirituality, yet when I did that I felt closer to Christ than I had ever been. You see I myself have made a video that involves religions, but it isn't that I have intolerence or that I am point the fingers to only one religion, but if we look at the last 2000 years, there has been much intolorence from the Church towards

The only problem I have of my former religion is its insistence that "IT" is the only way and its refusal to see the beauty in other religions. Great video. Peace..
thorns. Its a process of growth that others have to go through if theyve been abused by their past religion but some people get stuck there and find comfort and safety in their old issues. There is also the idea that if Paganism becomes the dominant paradigm that the world will somehow be transformed into a paradise. I think this is naive and false also. Truthfully, paganism is a path only for those willing to be responsible for their own actions. I remember once in church a man stood up and
I think the anger that one feels for their former religion for its failings is a natural thing, for a time. But you have to move beyond that. I went through what I call spiritual abuse at the hands of my former religion. Once I found my path in Paganism I rejected EVERYTHING and anything to do with Christianity but over time the anger died and I realized I had tossed the baby out with the bath water. Not so wise. I had to reclaim alot of what I was brought up in and found the beauty among the
@HeathenCub I understand exactly where you are coming from :) because i did and have done exactly as you :D I am so glad you resonate and understand the message xxx you are a blessing xxx
This video has a lot of important information and insights in it, and I vote for keeping it here so others can learn from it. PLEASE don't take it down? <3
there is no room for intolerance within Paganism or Wicca or Witchcraft. These paths are supposed to be personal and unique to each individual's expression and choice. We all have the right to choose the Gods we want to worship and/or honor. Again You have spoken what is right and true. Thank you for doing so , and doing it so eloquently, may you be blessed.
Wonderful video! I agree with most of your points and have to admit they have sat heavy on my mind as of late. After relocating to a new state I am amazed at how hard it has been to meet people in my local community. Everyone is so closed and suspicious. It breaks my heart! Videos such as this will I hope shed light on these subjects and open peoples eyes to the regression that is happening. Thank you again Blessed be :)
@Aluraalure it is really hard when your environment are filled with spiritually constipated people :( lol But hopefully things will start to change with the new energies entering our consciousness. thank you so much for watching and sharing xxx
Healing both God and Goddess in our hearts seems a nescessity in our life's nowadays. When we manage that, they reconnect with each other in our heart and soul and become One again. We may utilize different religions, changing forth and and back at different points. But hiding in one corner, blaming the other, and not healing our anger and pain will get us nowhere. This is the core of my personal life experience. Fighting a religous right-or-wrong war will have us all loose.
You always speak so wisely, Helen and I love listening to your teachings. Blessings :)
