The Sacred Cycles

The Goddess asks us to keep her sacred cycles, by this she means to follow her tenets. Many followers believe there are sacred cycles which have been forgotten over the years and which may be rediscovered. One cycle known to followers is the cycle of belief. The path of the worshipper may take him or her into a new cycle. Each cycle may have it's own rituals for progression.

The first cycle is that of belief, anyone can become a believer and there are many young people who enter into this cycle. A member of the second cycle will often look after those in the first. Those who belong to the first cycle are encouraged to learn all pathways to the Goddess; each person may then progress to the next cycle if and when they are ready.

The second cycle holds believers whom have understanding and wisdom in the ways of the Goddess, this status can only be given by a majority vote cast by existing second cycle members or by an appointment by a third cycle member.

The third cycle is for the most religious believers, they are closest to the Goddess and may appoint someone into any cycle. New members are generally taken from the second cycle and are appointed by the remaining third cycle members. There may be some trial associated with joining this cycle. An elder is normally elected to represent the group. Sometimes both the Priest and Druid cycles combine at this stage as they recognise that the path of the Goddess is different but the same.

The last cycle is referred to as the Order of the Goddess, no-one in the first cycle has divulged what this means but it is believed that the Green Druid forms part of this cycle. Many believers have divulged that spirit quests or physical quests should be undertaken under the guidance of a follower of the Goddess in a superior cycle to move from the one cycle to the next. The Order of the Goddess indicates such closeness to the Goddess that the believer understands the many paths of the Goddess is one true path.
