There are some aspects of the 'OLD' that I will cherish. Debbie Harry for example, those chiselled cheek bones and pouting lips. As a 16 year old apprentice, she was the talk of the morning after playing at Friars (Aylesbury), my contemporaries waxing lyrically about her allure! It's flippin' hard taking much that is presented as worthy of ingesting these days. I still enjoy climbing a hill, reading a book or listening to music LOUD or having my fingers in the earth.
the way I see it is we have to be like the Druids and the Culdees who eventually realised they could not defeat the Christian Roman Empire as it sucked up all the Normies and NPCs of the era. So they played along to get along, while taking with them the gods, magic, mythology music, culture and stories of the old era in tandem with the sentient peasants who carried it forward as folklore. Eventually the philosophy of Pagan Greece and Rome became Western Civilization and produced the Renaissance and all that came after.
They both ended up building a new reality that was tailored around them rather then allowing themselves to dissolve into the new paradigm completely.
Making up new words might be stretching your talents a bit.
My model sees an evolutionary flow that has its roots in the origins of life itself. It will always be consistent with the deep past. The west is an offshoot that has become too niche for the environment. The rest of the world is evolving independently at this stage. Western man is a subspecies devoid of the spirit to sustain itself. It has served it's purpose and the druids amongst us will come down from the mountain once again.
Without the white robes I hope. Not a great look that. Bloody cold in winter.

I only recently saw her perform in Cork. Blondie put on a great show.
That was back in 1977.
They opened for Sting at Independant Park last month. Then again, I might be dead.
According to Mr S that is. I'm like the walking dead until I've had some coffee!
