Fiddlers Green Most holy persons of the Tribes I have spoken to in my area are open to outsiders, but that is far from a sweeping majority. I find it best to ask, given that there are hundreds, if not thousands of distinct groups covered under "Native Americans". I've heard from my Anthropology professor that there are those who consider this to be an evil necessity, because there are few or none within the younger generations that are interested in the traditions they would rather open it to interested outsiders then risk losing the traditions entirely.

Most of the people I know that are interested in the Greek Mystery cults in the modern age? Are mostly creating their own Mystery Cults within the context, based on reconstructed details and modern UPG.
Rather fascinating if you ask me, but then, I am a Dionysian.

Ultraviolett1127 How does having part minority heritage cancel out the N. European heritage? How do they figure that? It's called: racism. It's systemic, endemic, and horrible. TeaDidikai Never had any problems with the Folkish ones... the Odinists on the other hand... Often, the Folkish and the Odinists are the same. Pisses me off, since I'm dedicated to Odin. Celeblin Galadeneryn But it's ok, because the guy he killed wasn't really Norwegian, he was a Lapp. And who cares about them? rolleyes stare Ah, racism in the handy dandy European against European version.

SpudCannon patch99329 I have a dim-view of the reconstructed mystery cults. The mysteries disappeared along with them pretty much. For the most part, I agree. But ancient poets, playwrights, and philosophers (thinking specifically of Socrates, Aeschylus, and Aristophanes) were occasionally accused of revealing the mysteries in their writings. I certainly don't think there is enough info out there for someone to accurately reconstruct the mystery cults, but there is still some information out there involving their beliefs and practices (out of context, of course). I personally feel that, because initiation is no longer an option and the beliefs/practices have lost their context, they should be left alone. I guess a better way to put it is that Greek public religion is an open tradition, but attempting to recreate the mystery religions is both impossible and inconsiderate. A lot of texts out there will tell you about Greek rituals without telling you first whether they originated in the mystery religions or the public religion. Recreating/attempting to recreate those observances that originate in the mysteries is probably not the most responsible thing in the world. You also have to remember that Greek religion is extremely orthopraxic in terms of sacrifices and initiations. If one thing goes wrong, you have to start all over again, which basically affirms your opinion - since initiation isn't possible, you can't become join the old mystery cults. You'd be far safer trying to attain new mysteries from the Gods than fumbling around with the old ones. Deo: Didn't you know the Uralics are all evil, evil scum? And yet, the reason why that guy stopped calling himself a Nazi is because it pisses off the Slavs. Slavs good, Uralics bad. Did I mention that he's ******** delusional? I don't even know how his brand of racism works, and I don't want to even try.
