Description
In ancient Greece, groups of people who gathered in worship around a specific God or group of Gods were called a Thiasos. Here we are gathered together in order to promote solitary and group worship and devotion of the Greek Goddess Athena, and wish to revive the practices surrounding Her from the ancient Greek world. In this respect we will need to get to know Athena as She was worshipped originally in order to make clear our understanding of Her in our age. We are here to share devotional and ritual ideas, poems, prayers and hymns to the Goddess.
Key Words: Athena, Greek religion, Greek pagan, Greek paganism, Hellenic paganism, Hellenic pagan, Hellenismos, Hellenic religion, reconstructionist, reconstructionism, Greek spirituality, Hellenic spirituality, Greek recon, Hellenic recon, Hellenic reconstructionism, Greek reconstructionism, classics, Greek religion, Olympian, gods, polytheism
