(^78) A Wiccan Bible
so seemingly similar, as with the Irish Catholics and Protestants, it does seem as if we
are wildly divided.
I am not saying that any one side in these matters is to blame. The gods know and
my service record attests to the fact that I am a patriot. However, I am also a member
of the human race. So I pray this message reaches the leaders of both sides in these and
all conflicts. That message is that we are all members of the same family, that we are
One People. In saying this, I do not mean that this book should be on the desk of my
President or in the hands of every world leader. What is important is that this message,
which is not at all an original thought, is presented to the world leaders in the way that
we and the other religions of the world conduct ourselves.
In closing this chapter, I should mention that I am neither archeologist nor anthro-
pologist. I am just some Joe trying to make sense of my world and sharing what has
made sense for me with you. But even if I held a degree in these fields, the dates given
will change with time and new discovery.
