IMHO the sincretism was merely a way to survive to the saying: Between the Crux and the sword. The only way to make the old gods survive was to hide them beneath the christianism mantle in a way this new bloodythisty order could accept, but with as much specific characteristics they could be worshiped on their own. This was also good for the the priest who knew it wouldn t be good to/weren t willing to burn everyone to the stake (not all were mindless zealots), and certainly knew they had already won and the sincretism would, in the end, make their god prevail and the old would be remembered as oddities.fdelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06163325638549241871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642118029917636850.post-80383322085518905322012-01-05T11:13:49.490+00:002012-01-05T11:13:49.490+00:00This is marvellous, and very consonant with my own...This is marvellous, and very consonant with my own feelings.Bohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333815636018847583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642118029917636850.post-71522310939836645512011-06-04T17:19:31.874+01:002011-06-04T17:19:31.874+01:00Very Interesting Post and in accord with King Arth...Very Interesting Post and in accord with King Arthur in my machinima film, who says 'let the cauldron and the cross unite'...<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wuNE5M01ME Bright Blessings, elf ~TitusLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04735231859351220463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642118029917636850.post-73725221389125968872011-05-26T19:54:29.851+01:002011-05-26T19:54:29.851+01:00I think I said something about respecting your syn...I think I said something about respecting your syncretic insight but coming to a different accommodation with aspects of christianity based on what works in terms of my own spiritual experiences rather than a specific attempt to link e.g. Brigit and Jesus, or linking saints with goddesses, but finding rather a response to certain religious symbols in different doctrinal places that informed my own spirituality. <br /><br />(Or rather I don't think I specifically said any of that , but words to similar effect!)Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726139484953008689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642118029917636850.post-84438659110177511182011-05-25T18:23:03.885+01:002011-05-25T18:23:03.885+01:00This is the first comment I've read from you s...This is the first comment I've read from you so I guess the first one must be lost in cyberspace.

In Europe - as in Africa - people adopted new faiths, but brought what was still working for them with them - and that means, as far as I am concerned, what they brought deserves a lot more attention and respect than it's had.
