INFLUENCES ON THE LYCIAN TRADITION
The following table shows the influences not only on the Lycian Tradition, but also, other organizations well-known in the Pagan community. The dates underneath each entry indicate the earliest documentation for the existence of that organization. Some of these organizations may have existed prior to those dates, but there is no documentation for it.
The solid arrows show a direct physical connection between the organizations. The one "dashed arrow" indicates a spiritual connection of practices, experienced in the astral realm and then later validated through research, which reveal an initiation was experienced similiar to those spoken of in Inquisition records, without previous knowledge of those same records.
