Here is a quote from Chumbley regarding authenticity and tradition:
>To comprehend the forms of inner continuity one must not however equate dntiquity with authenticity; the source of the Sabbatic Craft is of the Moment, beyond past and future. The linear perspective of' time' assumed by historical analysis must be recognised as having limited value when considering and representing the manifestations of a-temporal contexts of experience.

>To me if something is that fundamental it should be readily apparent
To the ancients it very much was readily apparent. No one questioned the gods because they had theurgic practices through which they revealed themselves. Nowadays we are completely disconnected from nature and the world around us so that Being hides from us. It should be said that when we start asking about whether a spirituality is "true" we are already missing the point. Theophany is something more primordial than metaphysics or epistemology. Think of Heidegger's distinction between "aletheia" and "veritas".

in our case, part of why we can not experience eopya constantly is a primal fear that has a transcendental character (for eopya represents an absolute deterritorialization of the cartesian subject - hence unitary experience tries its best to resist it). practice with her face as hidweh conditions us towards her love (and why she is the janus faced goddess of flesh), then a ritual like this one attempts to strip at the husks of fear and attachment in order to fully expose one's being. in an attempt to bring this closeness back with us, a sigil is used to make our belief organic
in all of this i am reminded too of the doctrine that salvation is by grace through faith. here grace would be would be I.N.R.I. interpreted as "Igna Natura Renovatur Integra" - "All Nature is Renovated by Fire". here renovation may instead be thought of as the unfolding of physis. then faith would be daily practice that tends to be less "blunt" in its approach and tending towards finer control and excitation of energy rather than the immediate plunge into the abyss
