Quando in un bosco ne percepisci la bellezza e diventi tutt'uno con il bosco, allora, intuitivamente, sei in armonia e in pace con le Dee e con gli Dei. Essi sono parte della nostra vera natura, la nostra Natura Profonda, e quando siamo separati dalla nostra vera natura, viviamo nella paura. Percepire questa normalità vuol dire dare un senso reale al vivere che è insito in tutte le cose.

Intraprendere la Via Romana al Divino significa iniziare un percorso di risveglio: praticando l'attenzione e la consapevolezza continua ci incamminiamo lungo una strada sapendo che ciò che conta è il cammino per sè più che la destinazione.

When you, entering a forest, perceive the beauty of the forest and you feel to be in a complete harmony with it, then, intuitively, you are in peace with the Deities. They are an essential part of our real nature, our Deep Nature, and when we are separated by our real nature we live in the fear. Perceiving such normality means giving a real sense to our lives.

Undertaking the Roman Via to the Deities implies a path to awakening: with the practice of continuing consciousness and awareness we undertake our walking knowing that taking the path is more important than the destination itself

June 9th: Vestalia

This day is dedicated to Vesta, a Great Goddess representing the sacralization of Fire preserving and maintaining life: Vesta represents also the sacralization of the Family.

Temples dedicated to Vesta have a circular shape (thus they are not oriented sites) and men are excluded there: Vesta has no human imagine but she is represented by a sacred fire which must remain always lit. This fire is extinguished and lit again on march the 1st.

In the past the priestesses Vestals were devoted to this fire's conservation: they were virgins dressed in white and they preside over the main religious rites and they had the power to pardon those sentenced to death. They were lead by the Vestal Maxima, one of the most important religious figure in the Roman Traditional Religion.

This day is thus dedicated to the family and to the sacralization of food cooking.
