There are a few questions that I ponder from time to time.
What defines an elder in the general pagan community?
I've heard many pagans talk about an ancient Celtic myth of the "Holly and Oak Kings". In what ancient Celtic manuscript is this found? I haven't been able to trace it more than 100 years back.
What are some of the things that differentiate Wicca from other neo-pagan religions?
Did the Maypole traditions come from the Germanic regions or did it originate somewhere else? Was cloth originally used? It would have been very expensive and I would think that it might seem frivolous to use it that way in that time period. And exactly what time period was that? I've heard so many different things about this.
What suggestions do you have to draw elders back into their public pagan communities?
Were there any ancient religions that believed that all deities were just manifestations of one deity?
The symbol of the four-spoked wheel is found often in archaeological finds in Celtic areas. What do you think it meant to them, and why? The sun, communication, thunder, passage of time, a deity? Any other ideas?
In ancient Celtic literature, is there any mention of celebrating the vernal equinox as a religious holiday? Or celebrating it at all? Is this equinox mentioned for any reason?
What differentiates a deity, spirit, ghost, and guide from one another?

Um, Elder of what religion/tradition? No real questions at the moment, just not sure what your areas of speciality are. :)

And who bestowed this high and lofty title on you? Jungar the blessed. Put down the bong pothead, and move out of your parents basement. Get a haircut and job while your at it.
