(^208) A Wiccan Bible
not imagine laws against homosexuals. If you are homosexual, is your soul so clear that
sex is sacred that you can not imagine laws against heterosexuals? Has your soul ever
demanded that you say to your lover, take me and take me now! Have you been with-
out a love and heard your soul demand that you have someone, anyone, in your bed?
Have you ever been awoken to realize that while your mind was asleep, your soul was
reviling?
Does your soul scream; “I cannot do this alone”? Does it demand that you find your
tribe, your people, your Kith and your Kin? Do you feel your life is better when it is
shared, not only with a lover, but with a good friend. Does it tell you that kith and kin
are necessary for your very survival, that without friends you might well die? Does it
tell you that you must build community and participate in that community? Does it
cause you to participate in message forums and chat rooms? Does it cause you to seek
out like minds and draw close those with whom you want to spend your life? Does your
soul cause you pain when these people leave your life, when you loose community?
Does your soul scream for mirth? Does it tell you that you must rejoice and celebrate
life, finding merriment where you may? When you sit in a club without dancing be-
cause you don’t think you know how or maybe because you don’t think you look good
enough to get out on the dance floor, does your soul torment you? Does it say; ‘Come
on lets dance?” When you drink too much and your mind take a nap for a while, do you
do things that you wouldn’t do should your mind be alert? Do you ever wonder if your
soul is telling you to lighten up? Do you sit and cry because you don’t know how?
Does your soul scream for liberation from what ever force it is that restrains it? Does it
demand freedom from that which is ugly and that which is unloving? Does it demand
liberation from laws which oppressive sexuality? Does it scream for liberation from
those forces which supress your mirth and destroy community? Does your soul scream
to be set free from the Outsider’s that we spoke of earlier? Does your soul demand
liberation and victory over those forces?
Does your soul insist that the earth be liberated from the poisons that are being dumped
into her ocean? Does your soul insist that the sky be liberated from the poisons that are
being dumped into his air?
Does your soul insist that animals should be free from unnecessary suffering?
Does your soul insist that humans should conduct themselves humanly?
If it does, then STOP, relax, and calm down. In my view of Wicca, if that sudden
stop felt very awkward, then chances are you have a Wiccan soul. Yes, I am shifting
gears rather suddenly and might seem to be flying off on a tangent. But I am doing so to
illustrate a very important point which we will discuss in the second half of The Book of
Mind and Spirit, which is otherwise known as the Book of Mind. But before entering in
to the Book of Mind, we should do what might seem like back-tracking.
