Wild Honey Manifesto
What the Old Religion Is
The Old Religion is the practice of being at one with nature. It is not about questioning why or how things exist - it is about accepting what occurs in the natural world and moving with it, not against it. When you are truly at one with nature, you listen to it and it listens to you. In this sacred communion, real magic happens. You are not manipulating nature to produce results; you are working with it as partner and kin. That was, and remains, the Old Religion.
What was Lost
The great severance from the Old Ways came not from industrialisation alone - it was science. The relentless drive to understand and explain everything severed humanity from nature, from faith, from belief. It replaced communion with rationalisation. Science dismantled the Old Ways by weaponising fear, transforming what was natural into something "supernatural.”
People became disconnected from themselves and began relying more heavily on external machines and mechanisms to provide them with meaning. They forgot how to listen. They forgot how to simply be. This disconnection manifests as isolation for those who still practice the Old Ways, as shame for those with psychic gifts, as persecution for those who see what others cannot. It is a wound that runs deep - in individuals, in communities, in our relationship with the earth itself.
Why Revival Matters Now
The world has moved increasingly towards war, destruction, and greed. People seek power in the name of peace, yet they have forgotten what power truly is. When you live by the laws of the Old Ways, you come to understand two fundamental truths: real power resides with the natural forces and elements, and you cannot manipulate them for personal gain. Secondly, power is not something you acquire or become - you already are the power within yourself.
Returning to these ancient realisations is essential for our world today. Those of us who carry these ways have been awakened for a purpose. The true seers know that the Old Ways are returning. The earth, as it stands today, is being destroyed by humanity's own greed. Within another twenty-five years, we will be compelled to return to simpler ways of living. It is wiser to prepare people now and to awaken those who truly possess the ability to revive the Old Religion.
Through restoring balance in one person, we restore balance in the web of life. Through reconnecting individuals to nature and to their own gifts, we weave the torn fabric back together. When people remember who they are and release the shame of their abilities, they become living bridges back to the Old Ways.
The Vision : Wild Honey in Five Years
In five years' time, Wild Honey will have cultivated a thriving community - a global network of people who value and respect the Old Ways. I envision myself travelling the world, meeting fellow practitioners, working alongside them, and helping them gain recognition within their own communities for the sacred work they do. No longer isolated. No longer forced into hiding.
Through Wild Honey, we, as a community, can support those who struggle with their psychic abilities and spiritual gifts - those who feel persecuted by their families for not being "normal," who feel isolated by society at large. We will bring such individuals into the light, offering them community, recognition, and a place to call home.
By drawing hidden practitioners out of the shadows and helping them introduce this way of life to others, we will secure a profound victory for the Old Religion community. We will demonstrate to the world that these ways are not dead. They are alive within us. And they are returning.
