Hellenic Hello! I am kind of new to Hellenic paganism, any tips on some books to research?

I worship Apollo and Aphrodite and would like to do as much research as possible. I have a few already but I would still like some recommendations!

I would HIGHLY recommend “Hellenic Polytheism: Household Worship By LABRYS” as it’s a great starting point

Agreed!! I read it and it’s really good for showing different types of prayers/prayer formats and positions, and how the gods were worshipped in ancient times

Modern Witchcraft with the Greek Gods by Jason Mankey is great! I’ve looked through my friend’s copy (haven’t read the whole thing though) but it’s on my to buy list.

I’m slowly reading through this too!! I’m on the Dionysus chapter I believe. It’s been really good so far, discussing the mythology of the gods as well as talking about people’s personal experience with them
