SanctuaryofRoseandChalice, thank you for the kind words!
I do think some sort of "Cultus Deorum Americanorum" might be an interesting way to give names to local demigods and spirits of specific places here in the US. Your idea of the West coast and Hawaii adopting an Americanized Shinto for that purpose is quite fascinating; from what I've read Kami can be invoked practically anywhere with good results. I'll have to do some asking around and divinations on invoking Roman deity names for place-specific contexts. Since we already taxonomize all the plants and animals using Latin nomenclature, it only seems logical to do the same for spiritual entities!
On a polytheist "High Church Tory Anglicanism" I was probably horsing around a bit when I made that comment, but I think it's a cool concept to contemplate for a religious organization here. That sort of aesthetic would probably do a good job keeping demonolators, cosplayers, and wokesters at bay. I actually wish I knew more about High Church Tory Anglicanism beyond the superficial knowledge I have of it; please feel free to share any insights you want about your experiences with that church. Having "Divines" as religious specialists has a nice ring to it, not gonna lie.
The Green Path sounds fascinating and there is definitely a lot of overlap with the Ecosophian Druidic ethos and methods. The Green Path could end up being a prominent feature of whatever new church might form from these ideas!
Thanks again for dropping this very insightful response, and peace and blessings to you!
