We don’t follow any formal religion.
We just have an innate sense of the order of things.
We look to the world around us, to the moon at night, sun and stars, winds and waves.
We feel the ancient secrets even as we struggle to articulate them in ways you might understand.
We don’t want you to train us or teach us or indoctrinate us into your ways.
We don’t need them.
We have our own ways. Our own rituals that are passed down on the breeze and whispered instead of written.
We have always been here even, silently watching.
We do not need your stories of crowns and rebirth and chocolates. We brought you the rabbit and the eggs centuries before you thought to adapt our practices. We watch you even now with wonder.
We’ve seen how you’ve build castles in the sky based on misunderstanding our most sacred and ancient ways.
We are not jealous of you even though you’d like us to be.
We take it all in and feel the ripples as it moves across the world.
You can frame it any way you want. We know the power of the stories and have known them since the beginning of time.
We see the connections you have trained yourself to overlook.
We can spot the interconnectedness of all things and sense how they fit together.
We are used to being ignored when we try to tell you things, so these days we mostly keep quiet.
Still, we are powerful.
Always, we are watching.
Forever, we are pagans.
