Here is an excert from an artical by Kerr Cuhulain...

 "A man who appropriately accesses the archetypal Warrior draws upon enormous resources that enable him to live an empowered life in the service of his fellow creatures... When the Warrior is on-line, we feel a rush of blood and adrenaline, a quickening heartbeat, and a sense of something momentous about to happen. We feel mobilized for action, ready to charge forward to meet life head-on. Our daily concerns fall away from us and we are swept up into a kind of ecstacy in which we see ourselves and the world with a sharpened focus and clarity. Hidden rage is transmuted into energized courage. We come into touch with the great mystery of life and death, and we feel a strange sense of pleasure in the midst of pain."

 This Warrior aspect of Paganism is truly starting to speak to me and really opening up my vision and encompassing the pagan community as a whole. I feel I am becoming a true Pagan Warrior.

This is a post that I put onto one of my Yahoo Groups postings and I wanted to share it with you all...

"I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I
can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the
cost of your life." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Though Gandhi was a man of peace and non-violence, never bow your head to a tyrent. Hold strong to your ideals of freedom, and unite against oppression. If ever your way is lost in dealing with our situation (Operation Iraqi Freedom) know that ultimatly this is what we are here, to teach the Iraqis to not bow there head but to stand up and revel in freedom, a freedom that they have not had in a long time.

This is what we also have to take into account is that the Iraqis have been oppressed for so long that they do not know anyother way and those that would be the new tyrents will not go gently into that sweet good night.

Though I may have over simplefied it. Stay true to this reasoning, regardless of the political workings of those that are appointed over us. The Iraqis need us, humanity needs us and the ability that we have to protect the freedoms of all humankind.

In Love and Light,
Bill
