| <img SRC="purpdiam.gif" width="17" height="17"> We believe that the Source of All Things (The Great Spirit) is both masculine and feminine in nature.<br> | |
| <br><img SRC="purpdiam.gif" width="17" height="17"> We believe that humans bear the Divine Spark of their Creator within themselves (soul/spirit). And that we are actually spiritual Beings who are temporarily encased in physical matter.<br> | |
| <br><img SRC="purpdiam.gif" width="17" height="17"> We believe in Reincarnation and view it as a process for Spiritual Liberation from the physical dimension.<br> | |
| <br><img SRC="purpdiam.gif" width="17" height="17"> We believe in the psychic abilities and the supernatural as normal conditions which have been suppressed by Judaic/Christian Culture, but can be restored through the practice of the Old Ways.<br> | |
| <br><img SRC="purpdiam.gif" width="17" height="17"> We believe in Magick as a manifestation of energy that is directed by the mind through various ancient techniques.<br> | |
| <br><img SRC="purpdiam.gif" WIDTH="17" HEIGHT="17"> We believe in Spiritual Worlds and Spirit Beings.<br> | |
| <br><img SRC="purpdiam.gif" width="17" height="17"> We believe in the Law of Action and Reaction, and that what we do affects others, and what others do affects us. Therefore, we strive to live in peace with those around us.<br> | |
| <br><img SRC="purpdiam.gif" width="17" height="17"> We believe in Karma, meaning that we believe in responsibility and consequences.<br> | |
| <br><img SRC="purpdiam.gif" width="17" height="17"> We believe in love, life and harmony as the spiritual foundation of our ways.<br> | |
| <br><img SRC="purpdiam.gif" width="17" height="17"> We believe in the expression of religious beliefs through rituals and festivals.<br> | |
| <br><img SRC="purpdiam.gif" width="17" height="17"> We believe in Earth Energy, meaning that we acknowledge places of natural power existing upon our planet. We hold that the same is true for natural objects.<br> | |
| <br><img SRC="purpdiam.gif" width="17" height="17"> We believe in a positive Afterlife and a successful Spiritual evolution.<br> | |
| <br><img SRC="purpdiam.gif" width="17" height="17"> We believe that everything in Nature is of equal importance. Everything is linked and entwined beyond separation.</font> | |
