Thank you for that. Your recent interview at Albion Calling was part of my inspiration for this, truth be told. <br /><br />The whole phenomenon of Romanticism is so terribly misunderstood today.

But for me it is possibly the one bullet point that most epitomizes what ails modern Heathenry and Paganism. How can we honor and connect with our spiritual ancestors of the ancient past (which we absolutely must do) if we cannot honor and connect with our ancestors from just a generation or two ago?Apuleius Platonicushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761230673724504084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817911217098974229.post-65834032012228126632013-10-10T23:18:31.574-04:002013-10-10T23:18:31.574-04:00"Embrace the Pagan revivalist movements that ..."Embrace the Pagan revivalist movements that arose out of the Romantic period without fear that there is something inherently racist about these movements."<br /><br />Yes.

She delivered millions of votes to the GOP at the peak of her power.<br /><br />The only difference is, modern Republicans need to use dog whistle politics when playing the race card. Bishop White just wrote books with titles like, "Klansmen: Guardians of Liberty".<br /><br />AetiusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817911217098974229.post-84982570710856223132013-10-08T09:42:01.911-04:002013-10-08T09:42:01.911-04:00Alma White is an extremely fascinating figure!
