On the Nature of the Divine
It is true enough to say there is no God, but so too is it true to say the gods are many. The seven are first. The others are as numerous as the stars. Discover their truth and you can play chords with the strings of the harp of the universe. This is called magick. Science is the weapon of inquiry and discovery is the destruction of ignorance, but religion is the language of the heart which holds deeper truths.
—Anarast 2:1-6
The Seven:
The Gods are not tyrants for they do not create law, nor do they break the mind of freewill.
—Anarast 2:60
Praise to the Divine
Great and exalted gods, you who have watched over humanity since the ancient days when the first civilization was built, I call to praise you! You who bring order to the land and guidance to the people, you who assign destinies, you who distribute the personal gods and protective spirits, you who bring prosperity to the land and make it fertile with good food and good air and good drink, I praise you! You are splendid indeed and worthy of the divine powers! Oh great divine, let the just live and consign to darkness the hearts that are evil. I praise you, you who built the holy mountain! May the people forever declare your greatness! Let it be!
—Anarast 4:1-7
