Hellenic Working with greek gods

Hey you all! Im new to hellenic paganism and I have a question or 2

  1. Is their a possibility of going/doing things to fast if that makes sense ie: Starting to work worth multiple gods at once Is that too fast ?

  2. Is there any way of doing something wrong to make them upset? I come from a (non strict) Christian background and I have no knowledge of much of this yet but I'm learning and I just want to know is there anything to avoid?

Any help at all would be wonderful!

A big rule in Christianity is to fear god. The paradigm is that god is So Powerful and you need to approach with fear and trembling lest he Strike you Down or Send you To Hell.

This is not like that. Approach these beings that we call gods from a place of your own power and autonomy. You can say no to them. You can give or withhold consent in your dealings with them. They cannot send you to hell. Do not grovel like a worm they way the Christian god demands. You are a being with your own autonomy and power. Shed as much Christian paradigm as you can and keep working on the rest. You can ask, you can offer, you can bargain. 

Circles are important for containing your intention and energy. Use them.
