Spiritists _can_ join a practice, either as a spiritist or as a practitioner. But what I think you meant is that spiritist are members of a core practice automatically. This is incorrect. The example in the book is of a hero who does not initially join a practice.

Well, I could not find a rule expressly prohibiting it. That said, I'd only allow it for lunars and other strange exceptions that ought to have their heads removed.

Because it is so obvious it need not be said. I'd have said it more strictly -- you can only be a member of one tradition (with exceptions approved by your narrator).

Err. I think you are mixing categories. You can only be a member of one core practice. You can _also_ join the helper and enemy practices of your tradition and you can join independent practices, which have no traditions.
