Love and the Gods
Love the one emotion that can cause mankind to rise up and cure the world or destroy it. Love is one of the strangest emotions as it has different meanings and forms. The first love we are exposed to is the love of a parent, a gentle caring and compassionate love sometimes this love is never truly understood until we are grown and express the love we learn as children to our own children. The next love we find is love of friends the people we enjoy to spend time with, not always an eternal love but one that can be endured and can last.
Along the way will find the love of things and food these loves can turn to desires and passions sometimes becoming obsession and addictions. This loves can cause much distress and manifest in obsessions in people and can become violent for the person and or the object of obsessions.
The next love a person comes into contact with is a love that combines with a sexual relationship the truest form of this love is the love that is as old as time the meeting of soul mates. The poorest form of this love is called lust love that is based purely to gain satisfaction sexually. Sex is a sacred act that provides pleasure and can result in new life being created. Sex is not love it is a biological function, which can be used to raise energy, express the feeling of love or hate or even a mutual arrangement.
The amount of love we can show is unlimited and eternal but our own fears will limit how much we show. Self love is also important how we see ourselves has a great influence on the type of loves we seek and receive. We must learn to love ourselves just enough so we do not obsess on outward beauty or inner needs and enough to believe that you are worthy to receive a perfect love and that our inner beauty will shine through our outer features like a beacon calling our soul mate to us.
The most confusing love we face is the love of the divine many of us are taught that “God” loves us and we are “his” children this idea is often ground into our mentality by parents. For some they buy into this idea and for others who look into the world and see the work of the divine and seek to understand choose to seek a spiritual love some for good reason seeking perfect peace and love and for others the reason is to fill a void.
For pagans who follow a polytheistic structure assign a deity or rule of the aspect of love creating them from a perfect archetype of what love is often with lesser gods or goddess ruling over aspects of love. These archetypal deities encompass all aspects of relationships from unrequited love and gay and lesbian love, lost love, sex and fertility.
The pagan view of love for me is that all forms of love show honour to the goddess and acts done in the name of love, which do not express love, and kindness and cause harm are against not just the divine but also the whole of mankind. And it is these acts that destroy the potential of love being created. Although love is eternal and endless if we take with returning we will deplete so there will be less and less love to go around.
It is now time to show the love we have and return it to the world so that everyone can share equally restoring our future. The more love we give away the great the amount of love we will receive so we will never be without love so their should never be a fear in your heart when it comes to love.
