The Unitarian Universalist Association Main Page This is a philosophically orientated religion with no "credo test" for membership. Without doctrines and dogmas, it maintains a list of principles and purposes that are voted on by its General Assembly. It, therefore, is open to wisdom and inspiration from all world religions, philosophers, poets, scientists and thinkers that are in harmony with their ideals. Influential leaders such as Thomas Jefferson and Ralph Waldo Emerson considered themselves Unitarian. Though this is a particular denomination, it is a religion of generalists in spirit.

SpiritWeb is a superb resource for various kinds of spiritual exploration on the WWW.

Harvard Divinity School This is the theology home page of the oldest school in the nation.

Spiritualism This is a very interesting page that starts out with a few general links on religion and then gives one link on any of a large number of religions and denominations both large and very small in size. He ends with an evaluation of atheism as a religion and agnosticism as the only truly rational position on matters of "postmortem futures" which, he says, all religions primarily address.

Internet Resources for Religious Studies A guide to links on several major world religions and a few minor ones.

Magical Blend Magazine Online (shamanism) A "high gloss" magazine that has a printed format as well. It is a very entertaining magazine giving the modern shaman's or sorcerer's view of life in our age. An eclectic approach of different shamanistic traditions...different in this way from Tensegrity.

Nierica - The Sacred Doorway (shamanism) Appears to be a slow link. It is the home page of Dr. Tom Pinkson who completed an 11 year apprenticeship with a shaman in Mexico. It is a very elegant site, much like Magical Blend in this respect.

Shamanism UK A site with links to organizations, books, and conferences that are located, written or attended in Europe. Very good looking site.

The Sorcerer's Dream (shamanism) This is a home page with associated links that follows the tradition of Carlos Castenada (re: tensegrity) which he calls either "naguelism" or simply sorcery. I like its explanation of naguelism better than that of that of Castenada himself.

The Soulutions Now Home Page (shamanism) This page is very loosely shamanistic. It is concerned with problems of modern life and attempts to find solutions (obvious re: title of page) by an ecological spirituality or religious environmentalism of sorts. Lots of sources of links which explore this approach are given.

Zorastrian Archives Avesta The entire text of the primary scripture of this ancient religion is online.

Religion Resources esp. in Zorastrianism This is a part of the Internet Resources for Religious Studies above but deals with Zorastrianism explicitly (and voodoo and Taoism incidentally). Zorastrianism is of particular historical importance due to its theological influence (directly or indirectly) of all 6 major world religions in the history of ideas.

Nomius - Zen Garden This site has a rich collection of stories, pictures sounds and koans to enrich the Zen spiritual life of those interested. It is a delectable jewel for those interested in Zen.

Timeless Wisdom - Zen home page From the Center for Timeless Wisdom this site encompasses Buddhism, Taoism and a psychological approach to healing and peace. It offers resources in books, videos and, I expect, retreats as well.

Zen Buddhism Welcome Page This is a very professional looking site that is composed mostly by one Zennist. It is the "official" site of most Bay area Zen Centers and has a variety of stuff such as a virtual tour of a Japanese Zen Temple, other links of course and a harp site as well.

Zensite's Home Page It has contacts, information, references and meditations on Zen. [I did get a message to cancel an executable file that was going to be downloaded to my computer so be careful...even a Zen site may not be safe from viruses. I did cancel the transfer but still had no problem viewing the site.]
