>>12471385>the myths being outside of history are cyclical and therefore the gods can be present within the reenaction of various mythological events.Huh? I've heard of the concept of "sacred time". What do you mean by
>"the gods can be present within the reenaction of various mythological events." This is the first time I've heard of anything like this.
>"This is precisely why paganism gets us nowhere, there is no linear tradition or body of texts to shed light on what is heretical within pagan belief and practices."Okay? Who said paganism was "suppose to get us somewhere?" And are you suggesting that christianity can get us somewhere? Christianity pushed europe only the dark ages, what got europe out was the Renaissance nwhich was largely a return to paganism.
Also when talking about paganism in such spicific ways you should explain what kind of paganism you're referring to. Greco-roman paganism is a complete religion that covers metaphysics, ethics, worship, celebration, etc etc. Greco roman paganism is the foundation of western society is it not?
