   “Coordinate term: PCPG”

   “There are times when a given UPG is so commonly found across all segments of the community that it becomes accepted as modern lore.”

   “Many polytheist reconstructionists will point out that “lore” (whether Eddas, folktales, Greek myth, etc.) was “originally” UPG that, by making sense to other people where it chimed with their own UPG or knowledge, became accepted”

   “UPGs are judged by extant lore when available and relevant, by its fitting in to Heathen practice in some coherent way.”
