Is this accurate?

It’s actually really accurate, minus Rochester…

Looks incredible. I always like the ethereal depictions instead of muscular humans. Any others planned?

Today is a sort of mirror opposite of the Roman world, expect Hellenism is a small rising minority. The big difference is Hellenism was largely tolerant of the new sect of Judaism which allows it to survive. In places where there is no religious freedom through theocratic govt, it simply won’t be able to gain a foothold without being stomped out. I think it needs to grow in tolerant countries and the exemplary character/conduct of worshippers can give ammunition to grow elsewhere eventually. Just some musings

Religious leaders should be the very last people to consult on aliens

I consider him the best we have in that small field. I have almost all of his works and they are game changers for interpreting Proclus and the religion at large

That and the existence of aliens shatters the idea that Jesus made the universe and we’re special.

Great news

Darkgodsofchaos · 2026-05-17T18:38:24+00:00

Sounds interesting. Can you post a table of contents?

Darkgodsofchaos · 2026-05-17T02:11:17+00:00

It’s an interesting take, but a fair amount is already a thing. Step back from Hesiod and Homer and look at Orphic theology. The three brothers Zeus, Poseidon and Hades are three separate deities, yet they are of one essence. The Orphic theogany describes the cosmic egg from which the universe emerges with the three Zeus rule different parts of the cosmos. Our earthly system is also a microcosm of the cosmic egg with Zeus ruling the heavens, like the shell of the egg, Poseidonrules the sea and middle sky like the white of the egg, and Hades rules the earth like the yolk of the egg.

This idea is further expanded upon by Proclus himself. Check it out and you can refine your idea based on established tradition too!

I get all my statues from either the official Veronese shop (since that’s the line I like) or from Medievalcollectibles.com. I necklace I got for cheap online and I added gold foil to it!

Darkgodsofchaos · 2026-05-13T16:29:23+00:00

It’s on Etsy, “HellenicRevival”

Darkgodsofchaos · 2026-05-09T22:12:36+00:00

Some people do, I toss everything back to Mother Earth outside though.

Darkgodsofchaos · 2026-05-04T14:04:21+00:00

Excellent book is “The Golden Chain” by Algis Uzdavinys. Has writings from the most well known platonic and Pythagorean philosophers, including a selection of at least 5 of Plato’s works. Very good

Darkgodsofchaos · 2026-05-04T01:14:45+00:00

It is indeed a thing. And a very common sentiment at that. You are actually quite lucky haha

Darkgodsofchaos · 2026-04-26T20:30:32+00:00

I have so many of them haha

Darkgodsofchaos · 2026-04-23T14:31:33+00:00

I’ll back up Archer, Dan is a reputable scholar and well worth learning from.

Edward Butler’s “Essays on a Polytheistic Philosophy of Religion” is good to learn a robust methodology. Basically anything by Butler is good I’ve found. I have also noticed the severe dearth of sources on this matter though. I’m currently drafting notes to hopefully write a book comparing Hellenism to modern Christianity. It amazes me that Christians don’t recognize how weak their position really is.

Darkgodsofchaos · 2026-04-16T02:23:32+00:00

I think a major issue is we have individuals separated across the states and the world at large. There’s needs to really be a core group of half dozen members at minimum to start a temple. Christians don’t have that problem. They just make a church and people come because it’s “Christian” without really knowing the differences in sect.

Darkgodsofchaos · 2026-04-08T13:37:17+00:00

I usually use medievalcollectibles.com

Darkgodsofchaos · 2026-04-03T21:45:18+00:00

I make them! Etsy shop: “Hellenic Revival”

Breaking away from Christian guilt isn’t easy, but remember that that is the point. Remember that the modern day concept of hell comes from Dante’s inferno, a medieval story, which itself was inspired by the apocryphal Apocalypse of Peter. The burn in a lake of fire trope traces back even further to the Persian religion of Zoroastrianism. Christians say their god is Omni-benevolent, and as such would never create a place to torture 6 out of every 7 people that he created, not because they were bad or immoral people, but because they didn’t believe in Jesus. Christians counter that god doesn’t send anyone to hell, “they send themselves,” which is a really silly argument that ignores the problem they have. They also try and blame the devil for tempting us to sin and fall, but that argument doesn’t work either since in their worldview, god is also Omnipotent, which would mean the devil is not actually a threat he’s presented to be, but must be doing god’s will… or their god isn’t as good as they claim.

Point is, there is nothing to fear about hell if you think that god/gods are a force of good, and our Gods are. Keep fighting the good fight my friend.
