Practice Status

This page groups practices by whether they are still carried out today. Wikipedia notes that "in French, for example, sections in newspapers giving the schedule of worship for Catholic services are headed Culte Catholique," ordinary evidence of a still-living practice. Browsing this way lets a visitor tell a living practice apart from one preserved only in historical description.

Facts
Overview
What Defines This Grouping
Practices whose frame is modern depth psychology rather than any religious tradition - the Jungian vocabulary of shadow, projection and individuation taken up as spiritual work from the mid-twentieth century onward. It is not a category of the comparative study of religion; it is here because the practices are performed as spiritual work. 2
