Rewriting Genesis 1, Verses 26 to 31

[Dave TheDruid-3X3Participant]

Awens to All:

Just read the 2 and a Half Page 16th and final Chapter of ‘Essential Guide to Witchcraft & Wicca’ by Isaac Bonewits.

That Chapter is ‘A New Myth for Our Times’.

It basically states that we do not have to Worry about what is to become of Humanity and the Earth in the next few Decades or Centuries as not only will there be the Nature Gods, Goddesses & Deities of the Past but also there will be Future Nature Deities who will always have the Power to Recreate Life from the simple Microbe Building Blocks that they have done many times in the Distant Past.

What Bonewits stated in that short Chapter reminded me of how I Rewrote a couple of Verses from the Bible to state the Philosophies of that sort of thing. I did this Rewriting in 2004.

It Goes:

Genesis 1, Verses 26 to 31:

“God spoke: “Let us make human beings in our image, make them reflecting our nature

So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle,

And yes, Earth itself, and every animal that moves on the face of Earth.’

God created human beings; he created them godlike,

Reflecting God’s nature. He created them male and female.

God blessed them: ‘Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take Charge!

Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air, for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth.’

Then God said, ‘I’ve given you every sort of seed-bearing plant on Earth

And every kind of fruit-bearing tree, given them to you for food.

To all animals and all birds, everything that moves and breathes,

I give whatever grows out of the ground for food.’ And there it was.

God looked over everything he had made; it was so good, so very good!”

I rewrote the passage as follows:

“Mother Nature spoke: “Let us make the Universe, Stars, and Planets in our Natural image, make them reflecting our nature

So the cycles of life of the Planet Earth is responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle, every animal that moves on the face of Earth.’

Nature of Earth evolved human beings; he created them in their own Natural Image,

Reflecting Goddess and Gods nature, all living creatures are made male and female.

Mother Nature blessed them: ‘Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Be fruitfull!

Coexist Peacefully with the fish in the sea and birds in the air, for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth.’

Then Mother Nature provided all living things every sort of seed-bearing plant on Earth, and every kind of fruit-bearing tree, given them to you for food.

To all animals and all birds, everything that moves and breathes,

Nature gives whatever grows out of the ground for food.’ And there it was.

Mother Nature Gaia then looked over everything she had made; it was so good, so very good!”
