	Making Fauna Pagans
		The second, "elder" with-a-small-e, can refer to someone who has taken a leadership role in a coven, temple, grove, or other religious community; usually it carries an assumption that the person so refered to has more years of religious training and/or experience than the bulk of the group.
		A Pagan Elder, therefore, is someone who has devoted most of his or her life to serving a local, regional, national, or even international Pagan community, earning many of their grey hairs in the process, and who is now getting slow and creaky (if not cranky).
		If they are Elders, the main reason for their poverty is usually having devoted most of their lives to serving a Pagan community instead of earning their livings in nice middle-class jobs at corporations with good retirement plans and health coverage.
