OK, here you go: I'm writing you a check. I want you to build your ideal pagan temple, spare no expense.
So what would it look like?
Would it have columns? Standing stones? Would it have a dome? Would it even have a roof at all?
What is it made from? Wood, stone, brick? Poured concrete?
What is its footprint? Is it circular? Square? Rectangular?
What's around it? A grove? An encircling temenos wall? Gardens? Is there a sacred spring, a sacred tree, a sacred stone?
What does the inner sanctuary look like? Is it large, the gathering place of many, or is it small and intimate? Are there windows? Is it dark and private, or filled with air and light?
What existing temple does it most resemble? Stonehenge? New Grange? Karnak? The Parthenon?
What liturgical needs do you need to satisfy? Is there a central hearth, or a fire-altar? Is there provision for an eternal flame? Do you need to be able to circumambulate the temple? (I'll bet you do.) If so, your temple needs to be free-standing. Do you need to have an Underworld into which to descend?
Is there a temple kitchen? A temple bath, or sauna? A temple library?
Well, tell me what you need, and I'll cut you a check to cover.
How do you spell your name again?
