Column: The Temple of Mithras

By Eric O. Scott | January 11, 2019

Pagan Perspectives

Today’s column comes from your humble Weekend Editor, Eric O. Scott, who has written for The Wild Hunt since 2012. He has a PhD in English from the University of Missouri and his first novel, The Lives of the Apostates, was published by Moon Books in 2013. The Wild Hunt’s weekend section is always open for submissions. Please send queries to eric@wildhunt.org. I was in London on midwinter’s day in 2016, and at 4:30 PM it had already gone dark.

Deck: The Witches’ Wisdom Tarot by Phyllis Curott, artwork by Danielle Barlow, published by Hay House.

Card: Five (5) of Earth (Pentacles) – One Thing Becomes Another

The incoming week has the potential to hold a bit of a snapback when it comes to financial excesses, overindulgence, and the squandering of resources from the preceding week. Taking more than is needed, exploiting natural resources beyond sustainability, and even abusing support from the community and family, is likely to have harsh consequences.

Conversely, being mindful and deliberately judicious in not only what is being consumed but also in eliminating or reducing the waste of generated is heavily indicated. Underlying that sentiment is the expression of gratitude and finding ways to both give back and share any excess bounty. Even small and seemingly insignificant acts of kindness have the potential to make much larger impacts than imagined.
