E PLURUBUS UNUM; The Convokation of Faiths, The Gathering

Matthew 18:19-20

“Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything

you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where

two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.”

  1. How many religions or religious sects compose monotheism? How many compose Christianity? Or Judaism? Or Mormonism? How many writings are there that have been compiled and revised over the years? How many billions of people are out there that profess their religious stance as one of the monotheistic texts?
  2. Their foundation is secure and their history is established. But pagan history is more secure, our history ancient. Yet here we are. Controlled for all intents and purposes by monotheists. But it does not have to be his way.
  3. I propose that we convene all pagan faiths, a Gathering of all faiths in every city, town, farmhouse, library, conference room or living room. Eventually we will have temples again that rivaled the ones destroyed or repurposed but steps must be made. Now is the time to bring your friends together and just begin speaking to each other. Just do it, create a group, name it, it does not matter how you do it. It just needs to be done! Just be honest with why you are there.
  4. The Convokation or the Gathering of the Traditions has one common source just as the Judeo-Christian scriptures have common sources and a variety of authors. Our religions have insane origin stories from every corner of the globe spanning generations and cultures separated by generic labels intended to divide.
    • Left hand path,
    • Right hand path,
    • Witchcraft,
    • Occult,
    • Arcane,
    • Mysticism,
    • Magick
  5. It doesn’t matter who you are or what pantheon you ascribe to. Though not organized under one dogmatic law each religion would have representatives who could express and build their faith into something more than a collection of items called an altar
  6. A council could be convoked to assess our options, maintaining that impudence and arrogance be strictly avoided by all parties. We as a collective can search for that force, an entity, the great unknown and we call it by many titles and names.
  7. But we do not want to become the very beast we seek to avoid; an institution of religious law, no definitely not. We can create an academy of religious education however, one that maintains pagan teachings, not law.
  8. It all starts with you and it will start when you do.
