    Folkism vs. Universalism
    Folkism vs. Universalism

    Opinions & Discussions <snip> The “Folkism vs. Universalism” debate, or “the old F/U” as I like to call it, comes up time and again on just about every Cyberheathen grouping in existence. There is a reason why it continues to come up–it has yet to be remotely resolved.
