CURRENT MOON
I have designed it so that modern people can follow the Ancient Greek Religion in their modern lives easily.
As such, the following assumptions are made:
- A knowledge of Ancient Greek is not necessary.
- It is difficult for modern people to follow an Ancient Calendar based on the moon phase in Athens. I have made a simple lunar calendar for modern people to follow easily.
- Many people want to follow a Pagan faith-path, but do not want to use "magick" or "be Wiccan". Hellenic Paganism, which is a continuation and adaptation of an ancient faith, is an option for modern believers.
- Wiccan paths have different (and even conflicting) views of the Ancient Greek Gods of Myth and Legend. Hellenic Paganism uses ancient sources, such as the writings of Hesiod, Homer, Apollodorus, and Ovid to build its picture of the Deities, Demigods, and Forces of Nature.
- Reconstructionism is an arduous path, requiring academic research, study, and is often impossible for modern followers of the Ancient Greek Way. Persons who wish to follow the Hellenic Path, but not invest all that extra work, can find what they need here. This site is NOT for lazy or "pop pagans", however.
If this appeals to you, read on, and:
