Rekindling an ancient faith

Good article on how to reconstruct an ancient religion for use today. Snippets:

2) Pray to the god[desses] for divine guidance.
3) Invent as needed.

"We seek the wisdom of our ancestors, not to walk where they have, but to pick up their torch and continue onwards"....
