Ritual honoring of the gods is to be a daily part of our lives.

It is not correct to view the world as evil or corrupt, as the world is a beautiful and perfect image of divinity. Though the perfection of the Soul through virtue involves a moving away from base physicality, the world we inhabit is holy and good.

The physical world is not perfect, but it is incorrect to characterize it as bad, since it is an image of the divine.

The gods delight in the wise.
