| ARTICLES RELATED TO Adhere | | | |  Adhere: Encyclopedia II - Neopaganism - Historical sourcesMany Neopagans and Neopagan traditions attempt to incorporate historical religions and mythologies into their beliefs and practices, often emphasizing the hoary age of their sources; thus, Wicca in particular is sometimes referred to by its proponents as the "Old Religion", a term popularised by Margaret Murray in the 1920s, while Germanic Neopaganism is referred to as Forn Sed, "the Old Way". Such emphasis on the antiquity of religious tradition is not particular to Neopaganism, and is found in many other religions, compare for examp ...

| | | | | Adhere: Encyclopedia II - Neopaganism - Pantheon Most Neopagan traditions are polytheistic, but the interpretation of the concept of deity may vary widely, including pantheistic, deist, henotheistic, psychological and mystical interpretations.
In Wicca, the concept of an Earth or Mother Goddess similar to Greek Gaia is emphasized, but male counterparts are also evoked, like the Green Man and the Horned God, loosely based on Celtic Cernunnos.

Most Neopagan religions celebrate the cycles and seasons of nature through a festival calendar that honors these changes. The festival calendar can change from climate to climate, and can also depend upon one's religious path of choice.

| | | | | Adhere: Encyclopedia II - Neopaganism - Concepts of divinity While today's Neopaganism does continue many beliefs and practices of previous forms of Paganism, including many gods and goddesses, it is in many ways claimed to be very different.
Especially syncretistic Neopagans have concepts of deities and the divine that vary widely. Belief systems self-describing as Pagan may include elements of dualism, panentheism, pantheism and animism, and it is sometimes difficult to draw an ex ...

| | | | | Adhere: Encyclopedia II - Neopaganism - Traditions A sect within Neopaganism is sometimes referred to as a "tradition," although this term is more properly used to define a sect within a particular Neopagan religion, such as Wicca, Hellenism, Ásatrú, Druidry, Dianics etc. There are many traditions within the larger world of Neopaganism, most of which are identified according to the pantheon they work with, or the founder of the tradition.
The main distinction between the branches is between reconstructionism, the attempt to base a modern approach to paganism on a particular h ...

| | | | | Adhere: Encyclopedia II - Zoroastrianism - Holy Book The Holy Book of Zoroastrianism is called the Zend Avesta. The Zend is the commentary on the teaching and the Avesta is the original teaching in these sacred texts. Only a portion of the Avesta, known as the Gathas (The Hymns) are attributed to the Prophet Zoroaster himself. The Avesta was composed orally, and learned from memory for centuries until it was finally written down in Sassanian Times.
Before the invasion of Alexander and the Islamic conquest of Persia there were a total of 21 Books followed by Zoroastrians called Nasks. On ...

| | | | | Adhere: Encyclopedia II - Zoroastrianism - History Zoroastrianism was the favored religion of the two great dynasties of ancient Persia, the Achaemenids and Sassanids. However, because we have few contemporary Persian sources, it is difficult to describe ancient Zoroastrianism in detail.
Herodotus's description of Iranian religion includes recognizably Zoroastrian features, including exposure of the dead and divination. The Achaemenid emperors or shahs acknowledge their devotion to Ahura Mazda in inscriptions; however, they maintained local religions in Babylon and Egypt, and helped t ...

| | | | | Adhere: Encyclopedia II - Zoroastrianism - Principal beliefs Ahura Mazda is the beginning and the end, the creator of everything which can and cannot be seen, the Eternal, the Pure and the only Truth. Zoroastrian morality is summed up in the simple phrase, "Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds" ("Pendar-e Nik, Goftar-e Nik, Kerdar-e Nik" in the present day Persian) ["Homaato", "Hokhto", "Hovarasht", in the ancient language].

| | | | | Adhere: Encyclopedia II - Zoroastrianism - The Prophet Relatively little is known about the Prophet Zoroaster and even the period he lived in is disputed. Usually he is placed roughly near 1000 BCE, though others give earlier estimates, while still others place him in the 6th century BCE, which would make him contemporary to the rise of the first Achaemenides.
According to tradition, Zoroaster was the son of Pourushaspa' and Dugdhova, and was special since birth. Pliny the Elder relates that the prophet was born smiling. His head shook uncontrollably to the point where he wo ...

| | | | | Adhere: Encyclopedia II - Noahide Laws - Subdividing the seven laws Various rabbinic sources have different positions on the way the seven laws are to be subdivided in categories. Maimonides (Melakhim 10:6) lists one additional Noahide commandment forbidding the coupling of different kinds of animals and the mixing of trees. Maimonides commentator Radbaz expressed surprise that he left out castration and sorcery which were listed in the Talmud (Sanhedrin 56b). The tenth century Rabbi Saadia Gaon added tithes and levirate marriage. The eleventh century Rav Nissim Gaon included "listening to God's Voice", "kno ...

| | | | | Adhere: Encyclopedia II - Noahide Laws - Other religions as Noahide From the Jewish perspective, if a non-Jew keeps all of the laws entailed in the categories covered by the Seven Noahide commandments, then he or she is considered a Ger Toshav (sojourning alien) when with a congregation of Israel. In fact, this is considered the ideal level for all humanity by Jewish theology. A Ger Tzedek is a person who prefers to proceed to religious conversion, a procedure that is generally discouraged by all sects of Judaism, and allowed only after much th ...

Food: "Also, flesh with the life -the blood- in it do not eat." (9:4)
Murder: "I will also inquire about your blood, your life, from all animals, and from each human I will inquire about his brother's blood. Who sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed, because in the ...

| | | | | Adhere: Encyclopedia II - Cartesian materialism - Arguments Against Cartesian Materialism In Consciousness Explained (1991), Dennett proposes a multiple drafts model of consciousness as an alternative to the centralized version, focusing on what he sees as its critical weakness through his metaphor of the "Cartesian theater". Rockwell rejects Cartesian materialism, proposing that the mind should be identified not only with the brain but the rest of the body as it acts in its environment. Radical behaviourists also tend to adopt this viewpoint, as do proponents of the Gibsonian strand of ecological psychology.

| | | | | Adhere: Encyclopedia II - Say's law - What Say said James Mill was to restate Say's Law as "production of commodities creates, and is the one and universal cause which creates a market for the commodities produced". In Say's language, "products are paid for with products" (1803: p.153) or "a glut can take place only when there are too many means of production applied to one kind of product and not enough to another", (1803: p.178-9.) Explaining his point at length, he wrote that:
It is worthwhile to remark that a product is no sooner created than it, from that instant, affords a market ...

| | | | | Adhere: Encyclopedia II - Say's law - Modern interpretations A modern way of expressing Say's Law is that there can never be a general glut.[2] Instead of there being an excess supply (glut or surplus) of goods in general, there may be an excess supply of one or more goods, but only when balanced by an excess demand (shortage) of yet other goods. Thus, there may be a glut of labor ("cyclical" unemployment), but that is balanced by an excess demand for produced goods. Modern advocates of Say's Law see market forces as working quickly -- via price adjustment -- to abolish both gluts and shortages. The exception would be the case where the governme ...
