The Summerlands, Inc.
Web site: http://summerlands.com The Summerlands is a Celtic Pagan Community dedicated to rediscovering, preserving, disseminating, and when necessary, recreating that which was lost to us ... the magick, history, customs, and religions of our ancestors. We are about worshipping and celebrating the old Gods and Goddesses in Ways both ancient and new ... in walking the path that Spirit leads us upon ... in rediscovering our connection with the Spirit of Our People. We believe in a Creative Deity. We believe in many Gods and Goddesses as faces of our Creator. We believe in Reincarnation. We believe in the Sanctity of Nature. We believe that Spirit is in everything and is all around us. We are all connected. We believe we are a Spirit who inhabits a body rather than a body that has a spirit. We believe in the Equality and Balanced Working between Men and Women. We believe in Honor, Truth, and Justice. We believe in a Three-Fold Law, which says that anything we do, positive or negative will return to us 3 times over. We DO NOT -- believe in (let alone worship) a "devil" or "hell." Ours is not a religion based on fear or punishment or a desire for power over others. (contrary to the Religious Reich's propaganda that we've heard and read). We DO NOT -- "molest children," "torture animals," "drink blood," "eat people," or "worship evil" in any form (again, contrary to the Religious Reich's propaganda that we've heard and read). We DO NOT -- proselytize our beliefs, nor do we seek to make converts to our Ways. We believe that no single spiritual path is superior to another, providing it is right for the person following it, AND it is not forced on anyone else. To put our beliefs into practice we have established the Summerlands online community (http://www.summerlands.com) which attempts to meet online and in real life. To better serve the Pagan, Celtic and Druidic communities, we also have a Summerlands Press Publishing Company, The Rowan Leaf Bookstore and the Summers school Druid Seminary. The Summerlands is a haven for the persecuted, a resting place for the weary, a way station for the traveler through lifetimes and a center for searching within the ways of spirit and truth that sustain the many worlds of human and spiritual endeavor.
