  • where in california can people go to worship the greek gods.. back than ergot fungus was ingesting by beatiful women to see into the future today that is magic mushrooms...i had the oppurtunity to try them and i think that that in school we were studying about ancient greece and the ancient gods...plays like orphious and the underworld..and my project was on the sun god apollo i felt like their was a connection...at some point at the end of my trip it felt like the ancient greek gods were extra-terestrials from another star system that came to enlighten the human race and then they left...sacrafices were done on a altar to satisify the gods backthen the human condition was still at post primitive levels the age of the beauty was just spawning same senero with the aztecs ritual sacrafices on top of theyre pyramids, and then comes along the christian religion imposing their beliefs and will on the poeple with backward thinking saying the greek gods are the devil this and that etc. religious freedom should be granted to everyone like in greece today the greek orthadox church will not allow any worship of the greek gods but they will make money off of them like the parthenon was a ancient worship area for athena...and now its just a tourist attraction where people take pictures..not knowing what its true history..

  • 1) "Greek religion has experienced a number of revivals, in the arts, humanities and spirituality of the Renaissance as well as with the contemporary Hellenic Reconstructionism, or "Hellenismos" as it is sometimes called (a term first used by the last pagan Roman emperor Julian the Apostate). Many neo-pagan religious paths, such as Wicca, use aspects of ancient Greek religions in their practice; Hellenic Reconstructionism focuses exclusively thereon, as far as the nature of the surviving source material allows. It reflects neo-Platonic/Platonic speculation (which is represented in Porphyry, Libanius, Proclus, and Julian), as well as Classical cult practice. The overwhelming majority of modern Greeks are followers of Greek Orthodox Christianity. According to estimates, there are perhaps as many as 45,000 followers of the ancient Greek religion out of a total Greek population of 11 million."

Since 1997 the movement in Greece has been institutionalized under the Supreme Council of Ethnikoi Hellenes. Polytheistic reconstructionism is not a religion itself, but is the methodology for re-establishing a historical polytheistic (or pre-Christian) religion in the modern world. Hellenismos, or Hellenism, is the Hellenic religion, a traditional polytheistic religion and way of life, revolving around the Greek Gods, primarily focused on the Twelve Olympians, and embracing ancient Hellenic values and virtues."
