Reddit reviews Hellenismos: Practicing Greek Polytheism Today

I love working with the Greeks. First and foremost, you need a way in. For most people, this is the Agathos Daemon, ie. the good daemon, who is often depicted as a snake. The AG is sort of the Greek version of a "guardian angel". Make offerings to the AG every time you eat or drink. When you drink, spill the first few drops onto the floor. When you eat, offer the first and tiniest morsel of grain [you can try offering meat, but probably it would be best to stick with grain].

Here are a few useful books that I've read on the subject.

Lastly, incorporate elements of planetary magic into your practice. Apollo is an easy one because he corresponds to the Sun, which means you should invoke him Sundays at sunrise. Hermes is Wednesday, Zeus and Poseidon and Hera on Thursday. I like to do Athena on Tuesday but Tuesday is also good for Aries, should you dare mess with Aries. Saturday is for Chronos, and Monday for Artemis or Hecate. Hecate is considered the Greek god of witchcraft, so if you want to get witchy, she's the one to go with.

You might also want to pick up a book about planetary magic in general, such as this one:

I am a newbie also and currently reading: Hellenismos: Practicing Greek Polytheism Today, by Tony Mierzwicki and have found it extremely helpful.

Also the very first book I read about the Greek Gods is still one of my favorites, Ingri and Edgar D’Aulaire’s book of Greek Myths. It’s a children’s book, but thoroughly enjoyable for anyone at any age.
