<< We perhaps shouldn't blame the average believer today for not knowing
the pagan roots of such practices, since it has been many centuries
since these this things were seen and even understood by the vast
majority of peoples--speaking from the perspective of Western
Civilization--as hold such meanings. >>

I don't necessarily "blame" anyone...but I do have to give a silent giggle
when some people come out with the proverbial guns blazing surrounding the
topic of paganism when they themselves don't realize the origins of their own
religious practices.
