Re: Re-Paganization GryeWolf Sat Apr 10 19:09:55 1999 I have to agree with Jenny, who stated things quite plainly and very beautifully.*p*I have a fundamental belief that if someone took the time and trouble to write something down and in a specific way then there is a good reason for why they wrote what they did. *p*Changing it diminishes what they did and likely changes the reason and maybe the meaning in a way that is not proper or respectful of their works.*p*I approve of things like the work on the triads where the original triad is presented and kept unchanged. Then intrepretations and historical information is added so that those without the knowledge of the social customs or the historical background needed to understand and appreciate the layers of meaning behind and within the triads are given a chance to also appreciate their variuos meanings.*p*Changing the wording diminishes the triads. If new triads are wanted then they should be written fresh with an eye to making them appropriate and consistent with our times. But rewording the ancient triads is not advisable - in my opinion. And this is also my attitude on almost any works. Re-Paganization Taliesin_2 410 Fri Apr 9 08:20:05 1999
