MABON, EKVINOCIJ I VAGE
Jesenski ekvinocij označava drugu godišnju i završnu žetvu te finalno godišnje sakupljanje.Sunce i Tama izravnali su snage, no Tama polako ali sigurno preuzima vodstvo u danima koji dolaze. Žetva je završena, zrnevlje nakupljeno, ambari su puni. Vrijeme je ubiranja plodova – kako materijalnih, tako i duhovnih. U jednu ruku, nadolazi vrijeme mira i veselja, a u drugu ruku, iza nas je rastanak od Sunčeve svjetlosti kroz posljednje dane babljeg ljeta; Započinje novi krug! Mnogim je kulturama i civilizacijama jesenski ekvinocij bio i ostao vrlo značajan datum u godini. U genealogiji egipatskih božanstava, primjerice Izide, Ozirisa, Horus, Seta, Raa, Amona, Khnuma itd. – znači civilizacije koja je snažno naginjala politeizmu, ustrojene vrijednosti svoj vrhunac imaju u Suncu. Vladavina Ramzesa II., u razdoblju dvadesete dinastije, zaslužna je određenje četiriju kardinalnih zodijačkih znakova: Ovna, Vage, Raka i Jarca. Prvih šest znakova predstavljaju osobno kretanje koje je započelo djelovanjem, svijet usko povezan s osobnim vrijednostima. Sa šestim znakom Djevice, koji predstavlja urod, završava osobna pustolovina. Osobnom djelovanju slijedi društveno, jer da bi se ostvario, čovjek se mora združiti s drugima. I kao što u svemiru sve ono što živi vrši neku funkciju, pa i svaka organska čestica vjerna svojoj službi koristi snagu cjelokupnog organizma, tako i čovjek mora raditi za probitke zajednice čiji je član kako bi živio spokojno i dobro.Možda je ovo pravi trenutak da – i odvojeni od zajednice – razmislimo o onome na što nas Mabon (naziv novijeg datuma, obuhvaća jesenji ekvinocij, no etimologija mu je u velškom ženskom liku iz sage o Mabon fab Modron), a to je sljedeće: Povucite bilancu – da li sam u ravnoteži? Ako nisam, koji su razlozi tome?Imam li dovoljno materijalnih i duhovnih zaliha za zimu? Što sam si dao/dala u zadatak početkom ove godine. Što sam postigao/gla?Tko sam i što želim postići?

PAN-EN-theism and Polytheism Pantenteizam expresses that the world is, indeed, contained in God or the Absolute, but that the latter is more comprehensive than we could ever fathom. Pan - all; en Theo - in God. The term in use since 1828, and coined it the K.Ch. F. Krause. Panenteizam in some way stands in the middle between pantheism (God's immanence in the world) and theism as the transcendence of God in the world. Polytheism is one of more than one label for the type of modern paganism, which is rooted in the Anglo-Saxon, Norse and German tradition. Some polytheists distinguish between the origin of polytheism as polytheism of philosophy and theology. PAGANINI word is derived from the Latin word pagus - which means village, town. The term pagan (the root word is the same) has emerged during the 4th century at a time when Christianity began to spread, but in the cities, while the villages are still prevalent practice of ancient religions. Gentile (unlike pagan) and the Croatian has the connotation of the unclean, shameful, evil ... so let them (us) called pagans. Paganism is usually more than panenteističko pantheistic. Pagani, therefore, recognize the conceptual difference - though inextricably - between God and the world. The plurality of paganism is really great. No noteworthy only Wicca, Druids, and Asatru to Zoroastri ausatruu (The northern tradition and Norse paganism that was practiced before the conversion of Scandinavia). Well-known Middle-earth is one of the nine worlds that connects the world tree, Yggdrasil. At the foot of the world tree, the three Norns of which we talk about the past, present and future, and to weave Wyrd - something like fate or karma - that which leads to doing something inevitable. Nine worlds inhabited by various creatures. From polytheism have developed special forms of shamanism (seidr) in which people are brought into a trance in order to make contact with ancestors and other important creatures. The idolaters are the meaning and value in the diversity of life of ordinary people and creatures that are not people. There are no sharp boundaries between home and temple, the holy ordinary. Deities do not require first loyalty and admiration, but our nadanjuju and return to everyday life by living a fuller, richer, and we celebrate it be treated with more respect. Finally, daily life is precious.

Neopaganizam a modern reconstruction prekršćanskih religions and spiritual direction. Examples are Vika (Wicca), and Asatru to Zoroastri neodruidizam.  Today neopaganski movements generally base their beliefs on saživljenju with Nature and Divinity, which is the totality of all that is. However, it is not the case with all forms of pagan beliefs - past and present. Some believe in many gods, while others believe that the unique spirit of the subconscious in all life is a universal deity. Paganism today would, in short, could be defined as all those beliefs that go beyond the basic dogmatic principle of the Abrahamic traditions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam). Things get complicated about determining what enters in the Abrahamic traditions as they are for Muslims and a number of Protestant churches, Christmas and Easter (because of its ties with the ancient celebration dugodnevica and Equinox) neabrahamski or pagan.
