General information: Before Time Was: A Creation Story
Posted by: Nyxks on Sunday, March 07, 2004 - 01:56 PM
(A creation story, paraphrased from WICCA: A Guide For The Solitary
Practitioner, by Scott Cunningham.)
Before time was, there was The One, The One was all, and all was The
One.
And the vast expanse known as the Universe was The One, all-wise, all-pervading,
all-powerful, eternally changing.
And space moved. The One molded energy into twin forms, equal but opposite,
fashioning the Goddess and God from The One and of The One.
The Goddess and God stretched and gave thanks to The One, but darkness surrounded
them. They were alone, solitary, save for The One.
So They formed energy into gasses and gasses into suns and planets and moons. They
sprinkled the Universe with whirling globes and so all was given shape by the hands of
the Goddess and God.
Light arose and the sky was illuminated by a billion suns. And the Goddess and God,
satisfied by their works, rejoiced and loved, and were one.
From their union sprang the seeds of all life, and of the human race, so that we might
achieve incarnation upon the Earth.
The Goddess chose the Moon as Her symbol, and the God the Sun as His symbol, to
remind the inhabitants of Earth of their fashioners.
All are born, live, die and are reborn beneath the Sun and Moon, all things come to pass
there under, and all occurs with the blessings of The One, as has been the way of
existence before time was.
Wicca & Magick: Stories & Poetry:Maiden Story
By Whyte Bard, from "The Bardic Mysteries: The Book of the Fool"
The Maiden, being young and giddy, was watching the Men and Women as they played
and laughed in the Garden one morning. She turned to the Fool, blinked her eyes, and
said, "They are so fine and good, smiling all the time. How will they ever learn and grow
if they have no obstacles; if there is no pain?"
And Trickster smiled a mad smile, and gave the Maiden a box. It was a small box, of
something that might have been wood, but wasn't, and it had no lock on it. It did,
however, have a small, neatly lettered sign on its lid.
