“I have made no secret of the fact that I am a pagan and worship Isis, which is but another name for Nature; in saying this, I do not deny the One God, the source of all being, for Nature is God made manifest.” –Dion Fortune, “Moon Magic

Recently I wrote about my thoughts on the Divine. The quote I share today I think sums up my thoughts better than my own.
When I experience a thunderstorm I am experiencing the Divine.
When I catch a glimpse of a rainbow, I catch a glimpse the Divine.
When I hear the wind whispering in the trees I am hearing the voice of the Divine.
Do I worship the rain, or the wind, or the sun and moon in of themselves? No. I celebrate them and acknowledge them as manifestations of the Divine. Much like how various stories, myths, theologies, and pantheons give each of us various means to commune with a Divine force that is for the most part beyond human comprehension, Nature gives us a way to experience the Divine every moment of every day as Nature is all around us, even when we feel that the Gods are very far away.
Just a little reminder for myself.
