Hello everyone! On Easter Sunday I posted about Faith. I was wracking my brain to remember this really cool quote that I had read years ago that reminded me of faith and Les Lois and all this wonderful magick that we do together. I couldn't remember who wrote it or exactly what it said, but God Bless the Internet because with just a few key words I found it!!! I wanted to share it with you, it is by D.H. Lawrence. Oh those gods, those strange gods! ;-) In re-reading this, I thought that every Vodouisant should have a copy of this quote and keep it close to their heart.
Love, Mambo Sam
This is what I believe:
That I am I.
That my soul is a dark forest.
That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest.
That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back.
That I must have the courage to let them come and go.
That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that I will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women.
There is my creed. - D.H. Lawrence
