Secrecy in Spiritual/ Religious Practice Panel

In some places and tmes it has been, and still is, dangerous to be openly pagan or witch, but sometimes secrecy adds mystery. We STILL don’t know what went on at the Elusinian Mysteries, that’s how powerful the prohibition against sharing was, although we know thousands of people experienced that secret initiation. On the other hand, hand copied texts suffer from the folk-process, and oral teachings even more so. There are definite pros and cons to secrecy in different situations. Let’s talk about them, and how to remedy some of the problems that we don’t like.

Join Lailani Martinez and Lisa M. in discussing this topic. There is no ‘right answer’, but are many aspects that can be made about how keeping a religious or magickal practice secret can increase its power, or lead to distortion. We’d love to hear from others with experience, and there are still spots on this panel. Sign up here. Panelists need not be speakers, only have a perspective on the topic.
