Unlike religious traditions that treat founders' words as infallible scripture, most pagan paths acknowledge their elders were human - not prophets or deities. This creates freedom but also responsibility: when documents lack citations (as they often do), arduous research becomes necessary to separate original content from borrowed material.Perhaps most provocative is their candid discussion about historical accuracy within traditional witchcraft. As scholarly understanding evolves, many foundational claims about ancient lineage face increasing scrutiny. From Margaret Murray's contested theories to controversies surrounding Gerald Gardner and Aleister Crowley, we are forced to confront uncomfortable questions: What happens when a tradition's origin story doesn't withstand historical investigation? Does acknowledging this diminish its spiritual value?As current stewards of their tradition, they wrestle with breaking the cycle: Should they continue adding to the overwhelming pile of material their students will someday inherit, or streamline what exists into a more accessible foundation? The digital revolution wasn't something their elders could anticipate - from floppy disks to cloud storage, the very medium of transmission has transformed dramatically within a single generation.Listen and consider what responsibility we all have to those who follow in our footsteps. What legacy are you creating, and how will it be received by those who come after?Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/MdcMwqUjPZFacebook: (7) Life Temple and Seminary | Facebook
