Thank you.

Beautiful presentation and thanks for your thoughts on this dear subject of mine. As a Witch I observe things in Nature that can help explain so many things about life if we just take the time to be humble observers of Earth and Nature, we are a part of. I would like to give you just one example of what I understand about life from observing a tree. It addresses everything you just talked about and hope this perspective can help people understand the forces of Nature and how Light and Darkness mixes in perfect unity for precious life to continue. A tree needs light from our Sun to help with Photosynthesis so it can produce food and energy for it's survival, so light is a necessary product for the tree's survival. However, this beneficial and critical light is also deadly to the tree's life since it contains harmful Ultraviolet Rays that can damage the tree's cells. That is one reason roots are critical to a tree's survival because it is buried in the darkness of Earth to shield it from the harmful rays of the sun. The darkness is also where critical water and nutrients from the ground are necessary for the tree's survival. So, in this instance both light and darkness are just a part of the forces of Nature that works together in order for our tree to survive! Some religions have trouble with the concept of reincarnation that leaves can explain beautifully. Leaves begin to form in the Spring and returning abundance of light from the Sun to give life to the tree from Spring to Fall from the leaf to help the tree receive the energy it needs during it's life cycle. When Summer turns to fall a death cycle begins in the tree where the leaves brown and die while falling to the ground to help blanket the tree during the coming cold months of Winter. When Spring arrives, the leaves that died acted as fertilizer to the tree so it can recycle into new leaves that begin to form so the tree can wake back up to receive the food it needs during it's Winters death slumber. This constant cycle of life, death and recycle is part of Nature that happens in every living life force of our planet in one form or another so that is why I don't see death as the end. It is just a transition from life to death back to life again in everything we see. I hope this short description helps people better understand the important roles both light and darkness plays in Nature for life to continue and how Nature continually recycles itself that is necessary for life's survival. Thanks once again for your channel to help demystify Paganism, so other religions can understand our ways and not feel compelled to demonize it out of fear, because of not understanding our ways.
