For my work, I attended a seminar about transgenders. Now I’m a open minded person and truth be told, if someone I knew told me that they are trans I would support them. It would be strange to see their transition taking place but I would be supportive. As of now, I don’t know anyone […]

Well I get that for someone who is new to this might be confusing. For me, I can use the names Haides, Plouton, Aidoneos interchangeably because I’m adressing the same God, not different Gods. Hades had many different names Zeus Khthonios, Plouton, Pluto, Dis Pater, Orcus, Aidoneos, even Hesperos Theos, Enerthera Theos to Theos Khthonios. […]

The 8th of may is the day the world remembered the surrunder of Nazi Germany and marked the end of the world war. In most countries tha day is a day of festivities, but not in my country of Belgium. The end of the second world war is joined with that of the first one […]

Recently someone asked me to talk about Greek mythology. The thing is, its all encompassing that it is not easy to start somewhere. Greek mythology is a collection of stories about heroes, monsters, gods, etc… The heroes are either local or pan-Hellenic like Herakles, Perseus, Pollux, Odysseus, Achilles.

The last couple of weeks i had various kind of discussions on social media on religion. One person came up to me and stated that I had to read Plotinus or Iamblichus before engaging in religion. This is really arrogant to say. To say that you need to read philosophy before you can engage in […]

 I will sing of Zeus, chiefest among the gods and greatest, all-seeing, the lord of all, the fulfiller who whispers words of wisdom to Themis as she sits leaning towards him. Be gracious, all-seeing Son of Kronos, most excellent and great! source: HOMERIC HYMNS 5 – 33, TRANSLATED BY H. G. EVELYN-WHITE I always thought […]

This year marked the first time i participated in a religious festival called Heliogenna. It went great. I enjoyed it and felt closer to the Gods by doing it. Not that before i didn’t feel close to Them. I did. A religious festival is something else than ordinary prayer or honouring the Gods. What is […]

 in Ancient Hellas, Hellenic polytheism encompasses the Euleusinian mysteries, Dionysian and Orphic mysteries, but also state festivals which were different from city-state to city-state.  There were temples which were considered the house of the deity or deities on Earth, shrines, but most importantly, the central part of the religion was the house practice.  In a […]

 I saw the latest Thor movie called Thor: Love and Thunder, which had a great villain. Gorr was a great villain who had understandable motivations for doing what he does and I think Kratos would be jealous and proud of him. While I do found the movie entertaining, I also found its theme’s problematic. It […]
