Hail

[spearandhammer]

Just wanted to say hi.

Last year I studied Heathenry off and on. This year I am resolved to not only study it, but actually live it!

Not too many Heathens on here, it seems. Oh well. See you around.

Re: upper class versus lower class religions ...

I have seen the same bias in other cultural religions, especially Greco-Roman groups. Most of those types seem to practice a very philosophical religion held by the literary elite, instead of the more gritty religion of the commoners.

While, as you say, the surviving sources tend to favor the elite, I honestly think a lot of people simply have unconscious elitist desires. Particularly if they were social outcasts in their formative years. There are too many would-be Lords and Sacral Kings and Senators and Philosophers running around for me!

Cheers.

Some things never change. I remembering asking the then head of the AE if HE had enough folks to run his Symbel "properly". The Silence was deafening;>
