The Work of the Five Powers

Creation's Paths

In this episode, Charlie and Brian introduce the concept of the 'Five Powers'—faith, effort, mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom—borrowed from Buddhism and integrated into their Christopagan Druid practices. Learn how each power builds upon the other to form a continuous cycle of spiritual growth and practical action, ensuring that your faith remains strong and active.
