Worshiping non-Greek deities is fine. Even among the Ancient Greeks non-Greek Gods were worshiped, being a Hellenist means that your household practice (and thus what you will teach your children someday) is rooted in and heavily derived from the practice of the ancient Greeks(in my opinion). A Hellenic Wiccan is a Wiccan who has a shiny Greek veneer instead of a Celtic one :P At least in my opinion.

In my eyes you have to worship the Greek Pantheon only, to be even considered a hellenist in my eyes. I had someone on a wiccan forum asking if she was a hellenist coz she worshipped hekate (or however you damn spell it), I told her if you only worship Hekate mixed in with other celtic , nore or whatever else pantheon wise, then no, you are not hellenic, but eccelctic. ! By the Gods i'm not one for blaspheming but some of those wiccans just..arghhh UltravioletAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07349843020572400422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1827734179179763488.post-48346819135634013712013-03-18T11:26:22.702-05:002013-03-18T11:26:22.702-05:00Well, there is a thing which makes one a Hellenist...Well, there is a thing which makes one a Hellenist or not, that is no lie, though there are "Hellenic Wiccans" "Hellenic-Inspired Eclectics" and the like. I don't think these people are "Hellenists", rather they are "Hellenic Inspired". Hellenismos.us, as I said before, is NOT a good site and Timothy Alexander is not a good person.

I think you are one of the few Recons i know who are more understanding of "neo-pagans" than other Recons who are more arrogant, offensive and downright abusive to the ecclectics, wiccans, etc. especially those on hellenismos.us who are constantly trying to gain the upper ground by saying that your are not a hellenist if x, y and z are not met" to their standards. I mean we worship the same Greek Pantheon and such so what gives them the rght to say that X person is "not worshipping the correct way"? As you said yourself that hellenismos forum are quite "poisonous". UltravioletAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07349843020572400422noreply@blogger.com
