EIGHTFOLD PATH

 

My personal mythology – pagan and playful, for I’m joking and I’m serious – is encapsulated in my eightfold path, a play on the Buddhist Eightfold Path in the form of my myths to live by.

 

1 – I live in a mythic world (the dreaming)

 

2 – I don’t have a religion, I have a mythology (apocalypse)

 

3 – I believe in all the gods, especially the goddesses (pagan catholicism)

 

4 – She is the goddess and this is her body (l-a woman)

 

5 – I am the serpent of my eden and the beast of my apocalypse (mr mojo risin’)

 

6 – I am a shaman in the tribe of catholicism (shaman catholicism)

 

7 – I believe in the god of doubt (zen catholicism)

 

8 – life is the laughter of the gods (cult of the dog)
