The other day I was online checking in on some forums I hadn't been to in a while. I have found that some people seem to look down on ecclectic practioners. Which I understand in part. The nature of being eccelctic allows for freedom that some are just not responsible enough to handle, leading to insulting living traditions or avoiding the darker truths of life. On the other hand I also see where it is a natural evolution. America is often described as a melting pot of culture and ethnicity, so doesn't it follow that the more sharing of heritiage we have the more we would need a path that reflects that? One that is just as diverse as we are? Every culture has created deities to reflect themselves, why would it be any different now? With the world being more accessable via travel or internet,  it expands the melting pot to encompass ever more parts of the world.
