Are Tikis not Pagan? - General Tiki

Honoring a lifestyle that was ignored before, through cultist re-enactment we show respect for our elders, whose attempts at escapism were derided and forgotten by previous generations. Healing these wounds of disrespect is an important step to growing up, not unlike realizing in mid-age that one is really not so different than one's old man. This however should not mean that we all run to daddy once we get a little scared. Those who do not remember the mistakes of the past are condemned to repeat them.
