					<description><![CDATA[The problem with extrapolation from history is that nothing is testable. The evolution of a religion over time is not a predictable and easily comprehensible thing, where we can look at a point in time and say, "It was like this then, so it would be like that now." The process of deciding what needs to change is not one with right answers.

					<description><![CDATA[There has never been a convert to a new religion who didn't carry something with them, I figure. Whether that something is traditional food for an old holiday, adapted to a new, or a set of customs, or some particular decorating habits, or whatever else, we cannot be where we are without giving due honor to where we have been. So the traditions carry on, and mutate, and become new things, continuations of the old ones.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In the end of November, more or less, depending on how one tinkers with the calculators, Kemetics celebrate the Mysteries of Osiris. This multi-day festival is, in effect, the funeral rituals for Wesir, and thus serve as the template for all funerals, as all of the dead become Osiris on their route to the West. That is, however, not all it is.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Community practice in a village in ancient times would have had most people following similar customs, but that's not always workable for modern pagans.  That doesn't mean one can't have a meaningful Lughnasadh celebration in a group with only one Celt, though, and without giving short shrift to anyone else's stuff.]]></description>
