Text and Tradition

"Text and Tradition" is the Winter 2017 issue (Volume 4, Number 1) of the Walking the Worlds journal. This issue explores the intersection of written text and devotional praxis within modern polytheistic traditions. What does revelation mean in traditions that often lack the normative authority of 'scripture?' How do polytheistic traditions that have recognized scripture engage with those writings? What happens when scriptures conflict with praxis? And ultimately, what does it mean to be a polytheist in the modern world.
