Few among the representatives from distant lands were happy with the groupings of the Traditions and among the more disgruntled were the Dreamspeakers. From a vast plethora of native cultures, they had little in common but their reverence for the spirits. This sticking point has again been aggravated by the inclusion of a new breed of Spiritualist, western men and woman whose dabblings in the spirit realms have little resemblance to the intricate lifestyles of the shamans and medicine men with whom they are associated.
These new Dreamspeakers look for guidance in any place with offers it, often patching together intricate, but muddled, belief systems out of a variety of influences. Drawing from half-understood shamanism, Eastern philosophy, and Western occultism, they have created an amalgam belief system which is, nonetheless, much more accessible to the modern man and capable of allowing for more meaningful communication with people of other traditions than the old shamanaic paradigms. It is little surprise, then, that these new additions to the traditions are found much more tolerable and comfortable than their brethren by others in the council. This only adds to the resentment of the native shamans, who, more and more, are just dropping out of contact with the council and dedicating themselves to their personal duties.
The vast majority of Dreamspeakers in London are of this sort and belong to the Theosophical Society, the organization which gave it birth. The rest tend to practice on their own and only have contact with their teachers, resembling Orphans more than members of a tradition. However, as time goes on and the struggle between Order and Traditions gets more heated, these stray spiritualists are brought into the fold so that they may stand by their brothers against the tide of materialism. Unsurprisingly, the members of the tradition tend to meet at the headquarters of the Theosophical Society in London.
