Gods in the House

Just something very quick that I would like to share because I don't know how many readers are not on the Hellenistai forums. One of the editors/translators of Christos Pandion Panopoulos's “Hellenic Household Worship” from Greek to English made it known on the forums, and the work is so awesome that I'm mentioning it here. (Hellenistai Thread).

A little sample:

Especially today, the primacy of household worship is determined to be absolutely necessary for those who wish to follow the religious practices of our ancestors, not only because it is from this seed that the religion may be best cultivated to re-emerge in society but it is also in the Oikos that one will not be confronted by the problems of religious discrimination which unfortunately still dominate in the Neo-Hellenic State wherein the Hellenic religion continues not to find State recognition.

The household worship outlined here is slightly different from my worship. I have religious space that is used when following Hesiod's outline for honoring deities on specific days of the month (but also for prayer, meditation, synchronized ritual, and “public” cultus), but I have not made any household worship space yet. The article has a lot of food for thought, and I hope you check it out.
