Idly browsing through the traditions pages on Witchvox, I came across The Mi'nerwen Tradition. All I have to say is "you have got to be kidding me." It's fine to have a mythic history for one's tradition, but come on:
"Like many other Pagan traditions that have survived the Dark Ages, the Mi'nerwen Tradition chose to hide from those who would destroy it, and pass their knowledge down as an oral tradition."
"The concept of regular holidays is not native to the Mi'nerwen Tradition. Mi'nerwens usually found plenty of reasons to celebrate. However as our lives got more busy and fast paced, the need for some evenly spaced holidays built into the calendar showed more merit, and about 1500 years ago the Order adopted the Celtic Holidays that are now used by so many Wiccan Traditions; but with a Mi'nerwen twist." (emphasis mine)
