The Five Pointed Way: A Collection of Pagan Aphorisms Inspired by the Tao Te Ching

by Shanddaramon

The ancient book of wisdom – The Tao Te Ching – has been a source of wisdom for hundreds of years. It is one of the most widely translated and copied book of all times and is the founding text of a quiet religious tradition known as Taoism. One of the world's oldest continuously practiced religions, Taoism teaches that all things are connected and sacred and that nature is to be honored and respected. Many modern Pagans feel a kinship and connection to the teachings of the Tao Te Ching. The Five Pointed Way is not yet another translation of the sacred Chinese text. Rather, it is an original collection of 78 aphorisms that uses the Tao Te Ching as a source of inspiration while also reflecting on modern Pagan concepts. The book is divided into six sections. The first five reflect the five representations of the Pentagram, namely: Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Spirit. The final section reflects on how to apply what has been learned in the first sections toward living with others.
