This is something that's been rattling around in my head for a while, and the urge to try to write it down in a semi-linear fashion was provoked by something that irritated me over in
nonfluffypagans.
Someone posted something asking about why modern pagans are so obsessed with the past, why can't they go with the new. I got the impression that the original poster was doing this from a POV that may not have equated "modern pagan" with "Wiccan or Wiccan-derived", but came damn close to it. I didn't limit my response to "Because some of us modern pagans are recons", but that was certainly part of it.
But it's gotten me thinking about my overall theological rattling about, over time.
( Trying to get my brain straightened out. )
Probably more later. Gotta do the aspects-and-Parents ramble too, which is slightly less scatterbrained.
In other news, it's September. I'm allergic to September. No wonder I feel fucking awful. *sniffle*

Because this whole getting work done thing isn't actually functioning.
Some of the seeds of this were set in an earlier, locked entry, and I'm not sure how I feel about the etiquette of posting a link to it that some people might not be able to follow, so I won't. :P
( Seeds, having grown into thoughts. )
I think I'll use Darkhawk's rune for the icon on this, because it's far more geekery than spirituality at the moment, all analysis. And then back to the staring uselessly at the work.
