Pagan Ethics


Nine Touchstones of the Ethics of Goddess Religion

Nurture life.

Walk in love and beauty.

Trust the knowledge that comes through the body.

Speak the truth about conflict, pain, and suffering.

Take only what you need.

Think about the consequences of your actions for seven generations.

Approach the taking of life with great restraint.

Practice great generosity.

Repair the web.

In the ongoing discussion of Pagan ethics, Carol Christ's nine touchstones are a pretty good place to start. I'd forgotten that one of the phrases in a prayer that I pray every morning came from Christ's book.

The breath of my body will bless.
The cells of my being now sing,
With gratitude and reawakening.
Mother, make me a perfect priestess to your service.
And allow me, in all that I do today,
To help to repair the web.
