Archetypes good or bad?

Bad, it disregards the individuality that is traditionally honored of each deity.

Traditional Wiccans don't hold the belief of archetypes. They have a specific God and Goddess but they are only revealed upon initiation. NeoWicca is fond of the archetypes anf plain "culture raping".

I know a 3rd degree Alexandrian Priest who would disagree. You've got me interested now. ALL the BTWiccans I've conversed with, including Spunky, have said that archetypes play not part in their practice and that they have specific and defined deities.

Flegantis used to post and own the fluffs in R&P. He got busy with life, though. I am trying to see if he will spend some time here. Good brain to pick.
