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

March 19th: Great Quinquatria

In this day the 5 day period of the Great Quinquatria begins: these Quinquatria are named "Great" to distinguish them from the Small Quinquatria celebrated in June.

These five days are dedicated to Minerva or the sacralization of Intelligence. Minerva is "The Mind", the "thousand tasks' Virgin Goddess" and is represented by an armour, a helmet and a lance: she is "The Reason" and the Reason is always well armed.
In Ancient Rome was kept a wooden statue of Minerva which, according to the legend, was brought by Aeneas escaping from Troy. This wooden statue was destroyed by christians.

This is thus a period dedicated to science, music, art and poetry.
