MODERATORS
The rule against historically innacurate practices and "new age" seem to contradict that.
You're just being willfully obtuse by now. Modern pagans know that it's impossible to fully practice ancient traditions in their original forms, because these traditions were practiced by large groups of people within state-sanctioned and organized festivals and temple worship. Nevertheless, modern pagans do look at historical texts and value academic history of these traditions to reconstruct what we can in good faith and accordance with as much historicity as possible within our modern context. New Age is an uncritical approach to ancient religion that does not study or respect texts and scriptures, and tends to follow naïve anthropology and archaeology that came out of 19th century Europe and America. Your confusion about these speaks more to your lack of knowledge than the rules of the community.
