there have been a few new members in the last two or three weeks, so i thought i'd say a "welcome!" and invite you to introduce yourselves. naturally we'd all...
Thanks for the Welcome! My personal deities are Herakles and Athena, my wife and I are currently opening up our private circle to others under the name Thiasos...
I'm just learning about Hellenismos, so have joined a number of groups lately, absorbing what I can. Being a philosophic sort, I have some link to Athena, but...

Hi Jennifer (since you said either I picked one.) Welcome to the list. I was at SMF, too. In fact I was in the group that was in the Athena shrine when you...
Khaire Jennifer! Welcome to the list and the Thiasos. In the mid-1970's I entered the USAF as an officer candidate and served for five years. During that...
