@tierfreund@theology IME, when people talk orthopraxy, they're referring to historical precedent - nobody will say that eclectic, DIY polytheists have an orthopraxic personal religion even if they've arrived at a set ritual schedule.
As well - what reason does the lone polytheist actually have to create and maintain a religious practice, all on their own, if they don't actually believe in what they're doing?
The utility of right action is limited to community and group worship -
@tierfreund@theology - it's for signaling to your coreligionists that you're in the same headspace, that you'll follow the prescribed ritual maneuvers, and that you're committed to arriving at the same gnosis, that you respect the tradition.
Because we all know that the Gods can be reached and pleased outside of that.
