The Gaian Path

What it means to be Gaian.

 

Being Gaian means that we believe we are a necessary part of a system of nature, we can look to the larger (outer) systems, and to the inner (smaller) systems to create balance within ourselves and our environment.

Our Deities: The earth Gaia is our mother. She is our Goddess. We (all things) arose from her earthly womb. She provides us with the things we need for survival, food, and water, shelter, everything we need, in fact almost everything we have in our daily lives is provided to us by her, the things she cannot provide for us come from the Sun our father. He is our God. He works in a partnership with Gaia to provide for us, he keeps us warm and feeds the food which feeds us. The moon is our sister as she was created by Gaia. Like an older sister she is deeply connected to us. The secrets we keep with her are sacred and magical. We look to her for guidance and support. The stars are our ancestors. Those that were there long before us, they hold wisdom and history we look to them to understand what our own future holds.

The Spirit and the Soul:  We have a Spirit and a Soul. Our Soul is a gift from Gaia at the time of our birth, she has recycled this soul many times over and it acts as our manual for basic living instructions.  The soul collects information each time it is linked to a spirit. This is why we can sometimes remember past lives, or why some people have more animalistic qualities. Our Spirit is a blank slate when we our conceived and it begins collecting all the experiences we have in this life and this life alone. When our physical life ends our soul and our spirit part ways. Our soul is returned to the earth to be recycled and reused, our bodies are returned to the earth to be recycled and reused, and our spirit moves on to another dimensional plane. This is how we are able to communicate with those that are no longer inhabiting their physical bodies.

Energies and Magic: As Gaians we strive for fluency in the language of the earth, we recognize that everything is connected and that there are certain laws in place that all things must abide by. It is with this knowledge that we can connect to energies around us in order to create balance and health in all systems. Our Magical workings are that of a healing nature and are only practiced when an imbalance is detected.

There are many other wonderful things about being Gaian and being connected and I could easily fill book after book of all the connections but for now I hope this helps to understand our core beliefs.
