If you think that Paganism is just Christianity with many Gods, you're mistaken.
It is not a strict orthodox religion, it is orthopractical.
In Rome, public rites were performed to keep the peace between the State and the Gods, in private, everyone had their own altar and rites

Thomas Cole
The Voyage of Life: Childhood, 1842

An infant glides out of a dark cave into a calm river, guided by a guardian angel.

Cole painted this four-part series after losing his savings in a financial crash, focusing on how little control humans have over their fate.

The cave represents the womb, the golden boat carries the child, and the hourglass on the prow marks the start of mortal time.

Are you driving your life, or are you just riding the momentum of where you started?

The purpose of art was once not to shock or transgress, but to elevate the soul.
