Bid Him Welcome
“We haven’t any creed, any dogma, child. Your will is your own, which is what gives it power and worth when it joins with ours or that of one of our friends.” She spoke these words to me over a bowl of oil, herbs and pig’s blood one afternoon before the others arrived. Twilight was pouring warm copper over the whole scene and I was anxious for night to hide us.

I sit on the edge of the wagon, watching the men. Some relax by the fire while others stand about. I know more are milling about out of sight.

Different perspectives on the spiritual world Common understanding Each person's understanding and perception of the spiritual world is different.

Skittish but curious, it glided among the bushes, circling the man who sat in an open patch under the bright moonlight, hoping for a glimpse. The creature emanated a loud humming sound, vibrating the surrounding forest. The man felt it too.
