Harman jehdruid@icehouse.net Sun Feb 23 12:00:40 2003 Dear Ms. Shamrock,*br*In my own extensive reading, I have never really seen much in the way of apocolypses pagan style except when it came to the Norse gods. But, most assuredly, the Jewish Bible has many apocolyptic statements, as does the Jewish and Christian based apocrypha. And so does the Christian New Testament. Turning to the Qur'an. The Moslems are also supporters of apoclyptic statements. When you get to the Aztecs and Incas, they seem to have based a calender on the idea of grievious world change. The History channel did discuss this at one time I believe, that some non Christian beliefs did foretell the end of the world. The Hindu religion, best as I can understand it, already had an apocolypse as part of their history. Do not know now if they still support the idea. Hope that helps.*p* Shamrock wrote,*br*: Greetings from an Outsider.*br*:*br*: Sorry to intrude in your community and I hope this *br*: is permitted, but I'm very interested in Pagan *br*: customs and mythology, particularly Wicca & *br*: Druidism, and I'd like to ask your input for a *br*: project I'm working on. *br*:*br*: I'm concerned with representing the Pagan ways *br*: accurately, in relation to other, more mainstream, *br*: religions. *br*: I've searched the Web far and wide and I can't *br*: seem to find any Pagan legends/prophecies for the *br*: end of the world, or some sort of widespread *br*: change. The only things I've found are in fiction *br*: books and they don't seem to be accurate as far as *br*: the religion goes; they seem to be just stories *br*: people made up. *br*:*br*: I was wondering if someone here would kindly tell *br*: me about the real ones, or if any exist, or of *br*: helpful books/websites I can check out?*br*:*br*: Thanks in advance, and, Again, sorry if this is *br*: against the rules. *br*:*br*: Respectfully,*br*: Shamrock*br* Wiccan/Druidic Apocalyptic myths Shamrock 850 Sat - Feb 22 - 5:37pm 216.255.216.115
