The Gods


What does it mean to believe in the Gods?


“Open the door, the door that hath no key...


How do we know the pagan Gods? How are they to be experienced? 

Do they come to us in a grand revelation: burning like the bush of Moses, or in a blinding light that throws us to the ground in fear and blindness like Paul? Do they reveal themselves to us with the voices of angelic choirs and beatific visions of redemption?
