However, beliefs are another matter entirely - The idea of an over-reaching spirit is something I find completely alien to my own beliefs and practices. I accept the existence of many wights, from the burgeoning awareness inside a germinating seed through to the overpowering BIGNESS of deities such as Thunor and Tiw, Sunna and Ran, but the way it seems to me is that all these wights, all of them, have developed through the same types of processes which have formed our bodies, evolution of sorts.
I see no place in that process for a single Great Spirit, and have seen no evidence for such a being.
I would love to know what in your own experiences have led you to a different conclusion.

No, that's what I am clumsily trying to say! In moments of panic,etc I AUTOMATICALLY appeal to a greater being- knee jerk reaction. However, I do not feel he/she/exists!(Duh!I need to re-condition my pysche!). When I work with individual pieces of land I communicate with the spirit of THAT place- no omnipotent bigger-than-thou figure who commands over all. I have had, though, interesting experiences with one piece of land and it's genus loci. I have learnt so much physically, spiritually and mentally,and it astounds me. This one piece of land has changed my life from allowing me to see who I really am, what my ambitions are and what the land needs. I feel truly blessed at times!(LOL)

Hi Wortmistress,
I seem to take a similar line to you, My 'Deities' are Mother Earth, Father Sun and Sister Moon, also Spirits of Place and Ancestors. Those are all I feel I need.
Cheers, Midori
