What do you think? Is it too naive to think this is possible?

Is the only future one that shares some ideas but leads to several factions as seen today throughout various religions?

Maybe, to make an analogy, the future of these kind of ideas mirrors a decentralized federated service like Lemmy, where some group creates and is trusted by a community to set some base standards, others may contribute to the core, branch their own or.... ~~stick to reddit~~ chose some other path - if they choose one at all

Does hermeticism even need a reiteration? Do any tradition need a renewal? Or is there a need for a new tradition that would look at the Sophia Perennis through the zeitgeist?

I personally don't feel the need.

What I think is needed is more ritual practice. The traditions were never meant to be just knowledge, they are first and foremost practices. I think the more you practice the less you would need a reiteration. And I honestly think the traditions are timeless.

That said, I have nothing against modern interpretations or commentary. I enjoy consuming such media, as much as I enjoy the historic ones.
