"Dare to know ... Have courage to use your own understanding !"
~ Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) ~



"It has always seemed strange to me that in our endless discussions about education so little stress is laid on the pleasure of becoming an educated person, the enormous interest it adds to life. To be able to be caught up into the world of thought-- That is to be educated."
Edith Hamilton (1867-1963)


I have compiled an extensive list of articles and websites on Christianity, Judaism, Paganism, Wicca, The Kabbalah, Shamanism, Buddhism/Taoism/Eastern Religions, Islam, Magick & the Old Ways, Christian Mysticism, Celtic Christianity, Faeries & Faerie Faith, the Tuatha de Danann, Greek/Roman/Celtic/Norse/Egyptian Mythology, Classic artwork, King Arthur & Avalonian Legends, King Charlemagne, William Wallace, The Bible, the Nag Hammadi texts, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Canonical and non-Canonical scriptures, The works of Shakespeare, Canterbury Tales, Legends of Robin Hood/Ivanhoe/Beowulf/etc, The American Civil Rights Movement & Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Classic Philosophy, Irish/Scottish/Celtic History, Medieval History, etc.

I will be adding additional sites/articles as I research them, and if anyone would like to email me an educational/informational article they have benefitted from, I'll be happy to add the link ..... I hope this page will be a "starting point" for those seeking further truth and knowledge, as well as a good resource site for anyone who just loves to learn !
