Random thoughts for the day...

I've had all sorts of random ideas floating around today (and on a regular basis), that I'm sure I'll eventually expand on as individual topics. I figured that this would be a good spot to get them down so I remember.

• What are the varying views of the meaning of 'tribe' in modern western society. Is a tribe just as important now as it was with our ancestors? And is it the same as community?
• Views on modern parenting, attachment and discipline
• Personal and Public Celebrations, Ritual, Worship, etc., and why are they necessary?
• The necessity of ritual tools?
• Spirit guides, Angels, and Ghosts
• Health and diet...Modern vs Ancestral (inspired by this post on Fern's Fronds blog)
• The importance of your ancestry on your beliefs and faith
• Raising a child to be independent in a world that wants them to conform
• Crossed pantheons...is it possible to have patron Gods and Goddesses from multiple pantheons, and do they work together?
• The balance of men and women in society, and why it's currently askew
• Why handicrafts are being lost, but how necessary they are
• Women in Heathenry

These are just a few of the ideas that I have been toying with in my brainstorms, along with studying various Gods and Goddesses of different paths, and other religions. Gosh, it sounds like a lot, and I know that more will come up, along with my normal randomness.
