The Greeks Who Pray to Zeus: VICE INTL (Greece)

- Even though Greece is a predominately Christian Orthodox country, there are some people in this country who still believe in the 12 Gods of mount Olympus, deriving from Greek Mythology. According to unofficial sources they amount to a couple of hundreds and present themselves as members of the unofficial so-called "Greek Religion". This is a mixture of beliefs that combine paganism, the idea of spiritual connection with nature and a kind of fixation to the Ancient Greek ideals. Over the past decades they have founded various different groups, the oldest and most popular among them being the "Greek Naionals High Commissioned Council (GNHCC) - Υπατο Συμβούλιο Ελλήνων Εθνικών," founded 30 years ago.

"The fact that after almost 2,000 years or so, in those places, the Hymn to Poseidon will be heard." - That was powerful.
It really wasn't.
Your a loser!
I literally teared up when she said that, her faith and conviction was so beautiful.

@Constantinople Walls non of that is true at all...
Interesting fact: the Greek government recognised the Hellenic pantheon 7 years ago, April 9 of 2017
That's good news then.
Is it seen as a cult over there as the Jehovah's Witnesses for example?
@@delegsgsg6353 no probably 90% or more of the Greek population haven't met a person who believes in the Hellenic Pantheon, but as an ordinary Greek person myself, i would just be curious about their life. All Greeks are extremely proud of our history and culture and i think most of us would be kinda happy if we meet a person like them.
@@delegsgsg6353 It's considered a minority religion. Like Buddhism or Islam in most of the Western world.
@@mistythemischievous2013 I'd say it's even worse because there are many people who don't know there are people who believe in this religion. Even in Greece
I'm a Norse/Celtic pagan and I am very grateful that so many people are returning to the old ways. I respect the Olympians and hope more people follow soon!
Same. I myself have been trying to find the gods of my ancestors but it's difficult being one of native american and Spanish ancestry.

Just found this comment after years, its beutifal to see the progress and its happening world wide. Ancient faiths are coming back.
Atheists: The god you believe in, also happens to be the one your parents told you to believe in
Neo-Pagans: Hold my wine
This made me laugh XD
Neo pagans:The god you believe in is the god you found out your people in the past may have used to have followed,not considering there may be older gods your people used to follow,which people just haven’t discovered yet or that your ancestors may have came from different lands.
@@exposeevil5492 Are you? That's a shame.
I'm an atheist n tbh I support Hellenism their religion is kinda cool n aesthetic than Christianity or Islam which had crusades n Islamic invasions
@@Кенжетайұлы What crusades did Christians have? Knights Templars are not a Christian group. Albert Pike in Morals and Dogma says: *Knights Templars is now known as Hermetics, occult or Scottish Freemasonry.* See my video Knights Templars=Scottish Freemasonry.
In that same book it says: *"LUCIFER, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darknesss! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual or selfish Souls ? Doubt it not!"*
Hearing that sweet lady speak of speaking her hymn to Poseidon, in a sacred place where it hadn't spoken in around 2000 years, was very touching. I find what these people are doing here, to be very beautiful! It'd be lovely to see more people embrace the ways that were lost, forsaken and stolen from their/our ancestors.
Just because it's their old ways doesn't make their religion true
Just because you have difficulty ever divorcing yourself from messianic religion, doesn't really imply anything about other religions Conner.
Gabriel Aderre, very well said. I felt the same about that touchingly profound truth about Poseidon's hymn after 2000 years… wow!
I believe in Zeus, it is joke!
Then why believe in Christian god is not joke!
A religion wants everyone doesn't believe to go to hell has tolerance and respect? It is a lie! Abraham cult Christian islam Jewish !
Conner Broeker what makes christianity any more true?
Hindus still worship their polytheist gods, yet no one says anything about that. Why is it a big deal when Europeans worship their Olympians?
Beyond Light
Because it actually isn't a big deal.
Vegan Babe they lack in number,that’s why.We wouldn’t even know they exist if not this video.(At least for me,it was new information)
Who said that. We Hindus are mocked for our polytheistic beliefs.
AJAY RAY good you said not all. Because I AM a polytheistic Hindu.
Tasia Briseño lol greek paganism is not peaceful, many wars in the ancient times when the greeks all worship olympic pantheon waged wars in the name of their greek gods & patron of their kingdoms. Even atheist wage wars, peaceful people is not inherited by religion, it is achieved.
I'm an atheist, but who am I to say that these people are morally wrong? That one woman had so much faith she was crying about her religions hymns being brought back once more. The Greek gods and goddesses are what made the Greeks heritage so rich. Some of their inventions have been modified throughout history, and we wouldn't have these inventions without their minds. If we let this couture die, the understanding of their knowledge does with them.
I find it ironic that the people who started voting and having the peoples voice heard over the government, is doing the opposite of that.
As long as they aren't hurting people and they aren't forcing people to believe what they do, what is the harm?
Exactly I am an Atheist who believe in some pagan practices and these people are oppressed. I feel bad for them because of this stuff.
Right, who are you to say that a person who chooses to torture and rape small children is wrong? No one should ever have the right to judge or condemn the actions of another, no matter how vile or disgusting they may be. Every person should have the right to do whatever it is they please, and because right and wrong don't technically exist - even the most abhorrent crimes should receive the same objective status.
just watch out for the cops
AquaLajo you would be a fool to believe that there even is a right or wrong as there is no such thing because the only thing that exists are events that lead to other events, it's called the natural order of life
Pagans everywhere are grateful for your support.
I am Serbian, of distant Greek origin, and all since late high school, I have considered myself very close to the beliefs of the Greek Pantheon. When I lived in Canada, I was filling a form, a questionnaire. I had to circle the religion I belonged to. There were many world's religions listed. And there was the option "Other" with an empty line. I circled "Other" and wrote "Greek Pantheon" in the empty line. That was in 2003. I am so happy to see that this now really exists. I am so proud of my Greek origin.
Good for you. I look forward to a future where people can more comfortably follow in the kind of religious/spirutal footsteps you have followed.

I absolutely adored this video. Im Hellenic myself and the Theoi have helped me work through so much in my life. I’m getting help for mental illness, I feel happier, my grades are improving and i’m becoming more motivated to stay healthy. The practice has lead me to so much comfort and for me was much better than atheism. I recommend to anyone to try spirituality if it sparks their interest. Its hard to believe starting out. You will feel like you are talking to no one, but as time goes on you will feel Their presence.
Becoming an atheist was the most liberating outcome for me; the creation of my own morality was very sufficient for myself. I will not serve nor will I admire the arrogant rapist Zeus; the same applies to the genocidal & child-killing deity of Israel (Yahweh). No gods, no masters.
Long live Hellenism
From a Hindu in India
As a kid, I used to pray to the old gods, even though I am a baptized greek orthodox. It makes me so happy to see that this ancient cullture is protected and honoured. I started crying during the ceremony, I can totally understand how they feel.
Why not convert, if you don't believe fully in the Christian god? You're Greek.

Ancient Greeks have nothing to do with these antatolian dark Persian. Ancient Greeks are the Albanians today and ancient Greek culture has been preserved by the Albanians only. Albanians even liberated Greece and they're known as arvanitika I'm from Greece and they're the only native people of greece. You need to open a real history book.

I'm a jew and I think it is beautiful that these people can worship the gods of their ancestors. It is great to see people connecting with their roots like how jews are starting to believe in kabbalah again. It is beautiful
As a Romanian I love how Greek sounds like Romanian+Spanish 😂 I love Greece, people are kind and friendly with my nation 🇷🇴 💕🇬🇷 Also these people are not harming anyone with their beliefs, let them be 🏛⚖⚡
Yes we are not cristians 😉
Nobody is bothering them. They aren't be persecuted or precluded from practicing their religion. How do people come to the erroneous conclusion that the Pagans are not being allowed to practice their religion? The only issue is that they are not allowed to turn the Parthenon into a place of worship because it's a protected archaeological site not suited for religious rituals. Neither the Pagans or any other religion is allowed to worship in a historical site. You people are turning this subject into something that it most definitely is not. Are people just stupid or do they just want to believe what fits their agenda for criticism?
I’m Romanian and I adore Greece too! It’s one of my favourite countries to visit because it feels so much like home 🥰

Its nice to see that the indo european heritage wasnt completely wiped out by christianity
najgauner this is pre-Indoeuropean, if we assume that these illiterate nomads really existed.
najgauner Indo European nonsense never existed
Athan asios Indo European means Hinduism .
Athan asios lol...Greek religion is just beta version of Hinduism...Every pagan religion on earth has come from India...India was the Alpha and Omega of planet Earth In ancient times....Greeks and Romans were students and disciples of INDIA
KARAN B I agree that Indoeuropeans never existed. It is a theory from the Nazis to connect the Aryans with the Germans.
Where I don't agree is at the fact that India was the "Alpha and Omega".
At first, ironically you are using a Greek phrase to describe the undisputed historical importance of India.
Secondly, where are you basing your belief? Greeks had no reason to copy a mythology. The Greek mythology and pantheon are tremendously rich and numerous archaeological sites are visible today due to the Greek mythology, such as Troy, Mycenae and other.
Thirdly, the word mythology( in Greek μυθολογία) etymologically points at events that actually occurred. Antisthenis, a Greek philosopher mentions that if you want to find knowledge , you need to start explaining etymologically your language, referring of course to the Ancient Greek.
At the Greek mythology one will find that Hercules and Dionysus have visited India and America, this is why there are findings like the following Minoan amphoreus in Caribbean Bimini islands, www.ell.gr/AMERIKH.html
The list can go on forever. Let's just humbly say that we don't really know what happened.
Hinduism and ancient Greek religion are derivatives of the same Indo-European faith. As a Hindu I'll support Greek paganism and pagan revivalism, over other faiths that claim monopoly to the truth.
Abhinav Rajagopalan
The Abraham story cannot be definitively related to any specific time, and it is widely agreed that the patriarchal age, along with the exodus and the period of the judges, is a late literary construct that does not relate to any period in actual history.[4] A common hypothesis among scholars is that it was composed in the early Persian period (late 6th century BCE) as a result of tensions between Jewish landowners who had stayed in Judah during the Babylonian captivity and traced their right to the land through their "father Abraham", and the returning exiles who based their counter-claim on Moses and the Exodus tradition .[5]
Everything in the Judeo/Christian Bible has been stolen and corrupted from religions predating Judaism, Christianity, and Islam from hundreds to thousands of years. Through Judaism and its tool of Christianity, all of the original spiritual teachings from around the world, (which are CONCEPTS) have been stolen from, lumped together into the "one," and corrupted into Jewish archetypes and characters and fictitious places.
Abhinav Rajagopalan
The condemnation of idols is a fraud psychological tactic of Abrahamic religions to destroy spiritual culture and for mass manipulation and control.
An image is an appropriate mental intermediary that "bridges between the inner world of the mind and the outer world of material reality", the image is a vehicle between sensation and reason. Idols are useful psychological catalysts, they reflect sense data and pre-existing inner feelings. They are neither the origins nor the destinations of thought but the intermediary in the human inner journey.
Spiritual practices are based on the belief that "all knowledge is inevitably mediated by images" and human beings discover, learn and know what is to be known through "names, images and representations
The idols are neither random nor intended as superstitious objects, rather they are designed with embedded symbolism and iconographic rules which sets the style, proportions, the colors, the nature of items the images carry, their mudra and the legends associated with the deity
For most traditions, the object may be a piece of wood or iron or stone, yet it is "symbolic, an emblem and implies the spiritual idea which is worshipped". The material objects may decay or get destroyed, the emblem may crumble or substituted, but the spiritual idea that it represents to the heart and mind remains unchanged

Respect to all pagans in the world, especially those that were persecuted by abrahamic religions. They obey to their book, we obey to ourselves, they love their god more than everything, so do we with our family, they live to die and go to heaven, we live for our children's future💪🏻
Respect from a Chinese Buddhist. Hinduism, Buddhism and Greek ancient religion, Balto-Slavic paganism, Nordic beliefs etc. are all descended from Proto-Indo-European religion. "Dyaus Pita" in Hinduism is cognate with the Greek "Zeus Pitar" or Roman "Ju Piter". The Hindu god Agni is cognate with the word for "fire" in many European languages (in Slavic: ogien, oganj; in English: ignite). In fact the Polish word for "knowledge" is "WIEDZA", cognate with the ancient Hindu "VEDAS". In traditional Chinese belief we have our own pantheon of polytheistic deities and gods, and some of the most ancient artifacts of the Chinese language are found on carved tortoise shells used for oracle telling dating back to 4000 years ago, and traditional Chinese religion has also been influenced greatly by Buddhism and traditional Indian beliefs.
Christianity, Judaism and Islam are ABRAHAMIC, SEMITIC religions that originated and developed in the Middle East. They have NO place in Europe, India, Iran etc. (traditional Indo-European lands) and beyond.

Wow so much hate in the comment section. I thought Atheist were "free minded people"
why do you guys waste your life in the comment section arguing? It seems like your minds aren't free as the vast majority of your time is spent hating and thinking about people who believe in God, or more particularly Christians. Spending your life talking about God after you've "set your self free from religion" is analogous to asking a kidnapper to stay in touch with you after he/she let you go. Maybe some of you are still intellectually enslaved if your time spent in cogitation/on the internet, is dedicated towards hating God. Go out and enjoy your "freedom".
***** Are you ever worried about how much anger you have built up. Don't you think thats inimical to your happiness and the people around you ?
Uh. Nothing honor bounds atheists to anything. The only thing atheists are suppose to to be is that they lack belief in deities. Nothing more, nothing less.
The Golden Irony is that you've come into the comment section and started an argument. Anyway, as a non-biased party here, being a Sikh, I can state with all honesty that most of the flaming in the comments here has been perpetrated by our fellow religious people; ironically, it has devolved into infighting between Moslems and Christians, overwhelmingly ignoring the subject material of Dodekatheism. I'm not sure how you have mistaken the ten or so angry atheists here as representatives of both the entire comment section, and of atheism in general.
Edit: Oh, and you probably shouldn't equate God to a kidnapper, either. Just a tip.
*****
all im seeing in the comment section is some casual atheist bashing from you.
We don't hate God. Why would we? He doesn't exist. We dislike the concept of God and religion. Not because we have a problem with people disagreeing with us. We have a problem with religions enforcing their backwards morals on everybody, including us. Religions work towards keeping gay marriage, abortion, stem cell research etc. illegal. In my country all stores have to be closed on sunday by law, which is another pointless religious law. There are like a dozen wars with thousands of deaths everyday going on because of religion and it used to be even worse!
My beloved pagan brothers and sisters from around the world, receive my support. I'm so glad to witness the resurrection of our ancient believes and how the world is being awakened. They want us to forget our own greatness. But our roots are stronger than all that. Let's unite with respect and brotherhood all reconstructionists from the around the globe: from Khemet, to Bharat, from Hellada to Anahuac.

Jason Bright Islam is unique. And were before most of those religons...
Jason Bright Most people spread lies about Islam but read the Quran!
So did I understand this correctly: If you convert to Islam your faith is recognized by the greek government but if you believe in your cultural roots - the greek gods - your religion won't be classified as a religion....?
Islam also has a cultural root. After Byzantine fell, the Ottoman Empire took over Greece and the Balkans.
***** the fuck does that have to do with anything? That is the ugliest ad hoc argument I've ever seen. The Greek religion has a stronger cultural than islam so what's your point?
Yep. Greece has cut the roots (except for those people) from the old religion. Islam had nothing to do with Greece after the Turks got kicked out of the peninsula and they were more or less eradicated during the Greek revolution in the 1820's. Islam is now recognized because of a small Islamic minority that still lives close to the border with Turkey and that stayed in Greece due to a convention (after its last expansion and dispute with the Turkish). Finally, these days there are lots of muslin immigrants in Greece.
Well Islam is a much larger and more recognized religion. Also the Greek Pantheon has very few followers.
TheSympathize
That Islam is rooted into the Greek state?
The Ottomans were muslims, the Greeks were ruled by a muslim Empire for 500 years until about 100 years ago.

*"Setting aside the cases where the ethnic names employed are of doubtful application, it cannot reasonably be questioned that the author [of Genesis 10] has in his account of the sons of Japheth classed together the Cymry or Celts (Gomer), the Medes (Madai), and the Ionians or Greeks (Javan), thereby anticipating what has become known in modern times as the `Indo-European Theory,' or the essential unity of the Aryan (Asiatic) race with the principal races of Europe, indicated by the Celts and the Ionians. Nor can it be doubted that he has thrown together under the one head of 'children of Shem' the Assyrians (Asshur), the Syrians (Aram), the Hebrews (Eber), and the Joktanian Arabs (Joktan), four of the principal races which modern ethnology recognizes under the heading of `Semitic.' Again, under the heading of `sons of Ham,' the author has arranged `Cush', i.e., the Ethiopians; `Mizraim,' the people of Egypt; `Sheba and Dedan,' or certain of the Southern Arabs; and `Nimrod,' or the ancient people of Babylon, four races between which the latest linguistic researches have established a close affinity" (Rawlinson's Hist. Illustrations).*

From Wikipedia.
"As Christianity spread across the Roman world, it carried the idea that all people were descended from Noah. But the tradition of Hellenistic Jewish identifications of the ancestry of various peoples, which concentrates very much on the East Mediterranean and the Near East (described below), became stretched and its historicity questioned. Not all Near Eastern people were covered, and northern peoples important to the Late Roman and medieval world, such as the Celtic, Slavic, Germanic, and Nordic peoples were not covered, nor were others of the world's peoples, such as sub-Saharan Africans, Native Americans, and peoples of Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Far East, and Australasia. A variety of arrangements were devised by scholars in order to make the table fit, with for example the Scythians, who do feature in the tradition, being claimed as the ancestors of much of northern Europe."
The Bible has nothing to do with Indo-Europeans inherently. Traditional Greek gods are descendants of Proto Indo-European gods and religion.
The Bible may get the recordings of some Caucasoid peoples right, but no, it does not get all of them, and it by no means anticipated the Indo-European theory. And I've never seen anyone equate "Asiatic" with "Aryan".

Although Christianity is not a oppression religion that's brought to Roman empire by jews. Actually Christianity is invented by a Romans Greek name Paul. Jesus doesn't want a religion..it's the Greek Romans who created it. Christianity means followers of the Jewish messiah. Christ in Greek means in English is Messiah/to.follow the Jewish messiah.... It's funny though because the Romans are the one who killed Jesus because they don't believe that he is a Jewish messiah but later after 300 years in 300AD they accepted Jesus as Messiah while the Jews rejected Jesus as their very own messiah (defender, saviour)
I'm Greek and baptised Orthodox at birth without choice. The old ancient gods had something beautiful about it as opposed to this forced judeochristian faith forced upon us.
Yes it is
Christina Davidis you do know you have a choice right?
Epibørk I guess I'm confused. My family swears by what they were taught which is to never question things. I question everything though. I look at all the other cultures in my community and city and I feel like when you list them all, they all have this opinion that my religion is better than yours blah blah. I look at them all and they all need something spiritual to believe in. I don't know what to believe except that I try to be a good person and hope that the other person does too.
You are Greek, but are your born in Greece? Because I believe you are born in the US and the Greeks in the US are unnecessarily traditional and have confused many things. For example, if you know any Greek at all, you and your family would know very well that the religion never said "believe and don't question anything", it says "believe or not (believe), question everything", the difference is that it cannot be translated very well in english and there's a comma in the sentence that changes the whole meaning (πιστευε και μη, ερευνα VS πιστευε και μη ερευνα). Only old and uneducated people still believe that they shouldn't question everything. I have no reason to defend religion, i am an atheist myself, born in Greece in a time that the society is changing everyday, but I hate it when atheists complain everyday as if they are born in a theocracy. In my honest opinion, these are the people that would rather complain to strangers, instead of doing something to change the society one step at a time, starting from their family. For me, you are part of the problem, religion or atheism is a personal thing, nobody can force you, you have a choice, you are born in free country (either that is Greece or the US) and you can believe in god, allah, the spaghetti monster, satan or science. I chose science, my parents chose science, my boyfriend chose science, my close friends chose science and nobody in our society gives a crap.

@YoStefan polytheism never existed, this concept was created by christianity to devalue or eliminate the ethnic beliefs of many.

I have no issue with your faith and I would never tell someone to convert, I respect their beliefs, I have gone to churches, and I have gone to Dargahs of Muslims, I see divine in them like how I see it in the Temples and by feeling the divine within me and around me , I am at peace with my beliefs, so I have no reason to change it.
Even though I am an atheist, and very much an anti-theist this brought a tear to my eye. I’ve always been extremely fascinated by Hellenism/Olympianism. The Gods and culture of Ancient Greece are so unbelievably interesting and intricate. The ceremony was beautiful; the chanting, the white dresses and the offerings. I’ve been studying the societies of Ancient Sparta & Athens and have been loving every bit of it.
I think this documentary mainly should’ve been focusing on their practices and beliefs rather than the politics about it. I also found the reporter to be quite disrespectful, especially towards the end.
Thank you

@Jade Fields Not only in Europe, but in any place in the world where there's a pagan belief :)
@Jade Fields They are not being discriminated against. For that to be the case, then that would mean that Christians are allowed to practice their religion at the Parthenon. Clearly, Christians would be denied just like the Pagans as they're being precluded from worshipping at the Parthenon has nothing to do with religion but rather the State interest in preserving the Acropolis in as pristine condition as possible. Undeniably, a group of people worshipping inside the Parthenon is not conducive to this State interest. Please keep in mind that these Pagans are in no way being obstructed from practicing their religion. It's merely a matter of it being unreasonable to practice a religion at a delicate archeological site which main importance is the preservation of the Parthenon for as long as possible and people worshipping inside the Parthenon is blatantly opposite to that important State interest, not only for the general welfare of Greece but that of the entire world.
Yes, that's the best thing about worshipping ancient Greek Gods.
The Gods are real! Every culture in the world, from the Mayans to Europeans, Chinese, Indians Hawaiians etc believed in Gods for thousands of years.

The comments are all positive, but why are there so many Christians arguing in the replies. They act as if people worshipping their own religion is threatening them on an existential level.
Edit: I know not all Christians act like this, it’s good that they can at least respect them, or leave them alone.
To a lot of Christians it IS an existential threat. Christianity tends to view things as a zero sum game. Either everyone worships their God, or they're "losing".
I think it's because the theological foundation of Christianity is built around exclusivity of their god, that any other divine being is an imposter and is misleading people to damnation.
The irony is that, in my opinion, what a lot of what Christians believe in, like an afterlife, Heaven, where there is beauty and peace with those who came before, justice, mercy, honor, family, have roots in pre-Christian theology and philosophy of the soul. Many Christians don't understand that their forebears were not "wicked" or "immoral", but good people who admired their native faiths, faiths with very similar ethical values that were not only similar to them, but directly influenced the religion they practice; even the name God is derived from Deus (Latin God) = Dyeus (Proto-Indo-European )= Diwe = Zeus (or Tiwaz in Proto-Germanic, Dias in Thracian, Dei in Illyrian, Dyaus in Sanskrit), Divo in Slavic, ect.
When Abrahamic faiths spread across Europe, the missionaries ensured the European gods and goddesses, including the god of the heavens, Deus, in particular, morphed into a different personas, God for Deus, and the other deities as saints.
Today, the brainwashing is heavier in most Christian denominations to dislike European culture, and myths in particular.
@Dark Executioner i hate Christianity so much. They have erased a lot of culture and religion it's fucked up
Greek religion is the homeland religion while Christianity was imposed by fire and iron. Christianity was used as a Tool of Power - Sacred Examination. . Greek religion has never been the tool of power.
@kingofpunks2698didn't Mughals and Britishers slaped Hindus pretty hard
I can't understand why the Greek government isn't allowing these people going to the Parthenon and performing their ceremonies there. I bet they won't do as half as the damage Greek government has done to that sacred temple during the past century, God damnit.
They are careful with the temple now because the EU and UNESCO has told them to do so, these pagan people might look after the temple and even help on its restoration.
And tourists are going to want to watch the ceremonies - win/win scenario!
+Harriffan Conshertini I know right!
Don't you mean "Hades damn it"?
Because it's broken as fuck. Also the majority (Christians) would probably want it to be a Church again if it was ever restored.
This is no difference to pagans in the UK such as druids. Long may Paganism Live. Well done Greeks keeping your ancient heritage and religion alive.
+zh11147 You are wrong, hellenistic religion, as distinct from the mythology, believed in spirits, not human figures. The figures were used to personify them.
innosanto In a sense yes, they believed in spirits which could posses them, as in the Bachanalian rites, but they also believed that the creatures of the Trees and streams, i.e Dryads, made their homes in trees, could leave the trees and had a Human form whilst Hamadryads were spirits of the trees and were one with the trees.
+Japan Mon Amour Exactly. Nicely put.
***** Ancient Greeks believed that the gods could take any form at will, and could take the form of animals and other people, and they would take the form of animals to give birth to other entitires etc etc. This means by definitiion that they did not have one form but many. And that makes the humanoid form either a way to personify them, or a form that the gods used more often than the other forms. However, I have read that many things were figurative. For example the 12 gods lived in mound Olympus, and they named the highest mountain in Greece Olympus. But they named many mountains as Olympus. So which one did they mean? Where did the gods live? The answer is that it was figurative. Olympus was a place but no certain place. The same is with the forms. It was a personification just like mount Olympuses, any of them, were "personifications-materialisations" of a place. And there is a river Aherontas in Greece which was supposed to take you to the underworld. But you can walk around it! That was also figurative. Christians would try to degrade the ancient Greek religion as if it was that silly and stupid, to show the new religion's higher value. It was the old differentiation thing, to market something, only in this case through false and bad counteradvertising of the enemy-competitor.
innosanto
I can partly agree with you. First of all Mount Olympus is/was one in whole Greece and in its history. Maybe Gods' mount Olympus was a figurative place like you say, like heaven. 2nd of all Christianism in many ways is even more rediculous than Dodekatheon.
Bless the Greeks for accepting their Pagan culture
Razer the Brazer the Greeks always accepted their culture. Our religion however ever since 49 AD has been Christian. Christianity is an ancient religion and it is the religion of the Greeks. you should note, Christianity is very much part of Greek culture. It’s very important for us and it has been the major religion for almost 2000 years. What you see here is neo pagans, that are doing some kind of restored dodecatheism.

Who said that paganism was the root of human being, who in the world thought you a lie like that? Islam is there since immemorial! and that's our root, it's applied to the entire human race!
And where did you learn that giant load of hogshite? In the Qur'an, the book that also tells people to forcibly convert or kill people who don't believe in the same shite as you belive in, paganism has been here since the dawn of civilization, it's what came first, the form of faith and spiritual expression that comes most naturally to humans, it teaches us to respect nature when we're outside in the beautiful sorrounding performing our rituals, through those same rituals it teaches us the value of giving to receive, it fills up our spiritual vessels making us happier and more fulfilled people and if there is something that is applied to the entire human race it's the pagan/natural way of viewing the world around us all.
I'm just wondering (Mostly because or your Username) But do you really believe that? If so: do you really see value in a religion coming first/being older?
Both yes and no, i see some value in a religion being older mainly that it's what comes most naturally to humans that would be practiced first and no because people can still come up with new and better ideas over time, but i see it this way, that you take the old and natural as a template for how a human lives best and then you add in new things as time passes, much like any religion evolves naturally over time when new ideas come, but i guess it's really mostly a matter of perspective.
I kind of see what you're saying but as far as religions go I think Animism is quite a bit older (Think ancestor worship) I think there is evidence of Neanderthals and similar hominids practising religion. Don't get me wrong here, I like the pantheon, and specifically the Homeric gods as an idea but "like" doesn't mean worship. Are you thinking of just culturally adopting some aspects of the old religions or full on 'Believe and Worship' these gods?

That is because of all of these languages, cultures, and people that you mentioned above are all related as they are all in group know as Indo-Europeans. They shared similar creation myths, language, and culture that were all tied together but distinct from one another.

I have been thinking about that for AGES, and have drawn up many plans for one.
According to Plato's Republic, many ancient greeks like Socrates believed in a "deist" sort of religion where there was a mysterious force/god that was not like a person, but could be divided into several Gods. It was a syncretic religion very similar to hinduism.
Go watch the videos of Pierre Grimes here on RUclips. What we call Platonism was and is the Western wisdom tradition and existed before Plato. Before the Western wisdom tradition was supplanted by Christianity it gave men the means to experience profound spiritual states and provided the serious seeker with insight into the nature of reality. Platonic philosophy is on par with the religions of the East and in my opinion is in some ways superior
That's cuz it is from Babylon.
*"Sufficient similarity exists between the Masonic CHiram and the Kundalini of Hindu mysticism to warrant the assumption that CHiram may be considered a symbol also of the Spirit Fire moving through the sixth ventricle of the spinal column.

How is Paganism racist? I don't get it really, Are Japanese racist for following Shinto? Are Indians racist for being Hindu? Are Chinese racist for following Taoism?
And if someone did think past was better because it was pagan ,really, doesn't make it a thinking unique to pagans as plenty of evangelicals think the same of Christianity and the present and they are also well known for being truly racist.
That's completely rediculous. Your ancestors shouldn't even enter the equation when picking a religion.
