The difference between a dying tradition


and a preserved tradition,

.....is PRACTICE!!!   


We need to continue to Practice our Traditions in order to Preserve them for the Future,
We have always done it this way... and should continue to do so. It has worked this way for Ions...changing what has worked for us can possibly lead to loosing what is ours.
from Land to Practicing Unknown traditions... it's important to up keep those traditions. 
Share them.... don't put them in a box and put them away....
