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

The Triad

The highest level of the Divine expression is articulated through a Triad or three key-manifestations of the Divine. The Triad describes the expression of the three main Divine Functions. The Traditional Roman Religion is based on a First Triad (or Archaic Triad) and a Second Triad. The First Triad is composed of Jupiter-Mars-Quirinus: the Second Triad is composed of Jupiter-Juno-Minerva.


The First Triad

The First Triad is mentioned in many religious formula and rituals (devotio, ritual of the Salii, consacration of spolia opima, etc…), and historically it was embedded and personified by the main flamines: the Flamen Dialis, the Flamen Martialis, the Flamen Quirinalis.

  • The first function expressed by the Triad is Authority, sacralized by the theology and symbology of Jupiter: it is materialized into legal and sacral power and into Law.
  • The second function is Force, in physical sense as well as fecundating energy, sacralized by the theology and symbology of Mars: it is materialized into martial activities and into the energy of Nature.
  • The third function is Civil and Social Organization and Prosperity, sacralized by the theology and symbology of Quirinus: it is materialized into civil commitment and work activities
