Pillars of Hellenismos
As there is not a large, agreed upon set of pillars in Hellenic Polytheism, I will be using ones I am going to start using, based off my own research. A common theme from each pillar is the avoidance of *hubris*, which is excessive pride and the belief that you are better or equal to the Gods. (This is quite possibly the only âsinâ in all of Hellenic Polytheism, as a lot of the stories against mortals in Hellenic myths deal with mortals with *hubris*.)
Arete - living to your fullest potential
Arete, meaning âexcellenceâ or âvalorâ, is the belief that one should live up to the fullest potential of yourself. When one lives up to their fullest potential, and not comparing yourself to others, it is aimed to bring happiness to the individual. It is also about putting things in your own hands, and not being a bystander, watching life go by. It is such a core part of Hellenic ethics that almost every philosophical and religious work about ethics contains it.
Ethike Arete - live an ethical life
Ethike Arete, meaning âmoral virtueâ or âcharacter virtueâ, is the belief that one should follow ethics and an ethical life, and the word from the Gods. This is usually in relation to follow the Delphic Maxims, 147 maxims given to oracles of Delphi, said to be given by Apollo himself.
Eusebia - piety and love to the Gods
Eusebia, meaning âpiousâ, is the belief that one should have respect towards the Gods and praise and honor them, via festivals, prayers, sacrifice, and devotion. It also relates to knowing *why* you should be doing the ritual and how it helps the Gods.
Hagneia - purity before the Gods
Hagneia, meaning âcleanlinessâ, is the belief that in the presence of the Gods, one should be clean. This is related to the concept of miasma, meaning âpollutionâ but not akin to sin, and removing it before praying to the Gods, as not doing is so is considered highly disrespectful.
Kharis - giving to the Gods and our relationship with Them
Kharis, meaning âgraceâ, is the belief that one should always give to the Gods but do not expect things in return, but if something is given in return, be thankful for it. In Hellenic Polytheism, when you ask a God for something, you *always* leave an offering. You give so that They can bless you with something in return, but do not expect them to. It can also mean the relationship between the Gods and us, with many saying it is like how much trust a God has with you. If you have good kharis with a God, They will be more inclined to fulfill your request, as they can trust you. But, if your kharis is low, They probably wonât trust you due to thinking you wonât do anything with it.
Nomos Arkhaios - being as close to the original religion as possible
Nomos Arkhaios, meaning âancient waysâ, is the belief that the religion should not change that much over the time. It is the belief that even when governments and society changes, the religion will always remain the same and gives a sense of structure and belief. This is probably the biggest difference between reconstructionism and revivalism.Â
Sophia - pursuit of wisdom
Sophia, meaning âwisdomâ, is the belief that in order to not offend the Gods, you should always be trying to learn and understand more. This is to help get rid of an ignorant mindset and better prepare yourself before the Gods.
Sophrosyne - having self-control
Sophrosyne, meaning âtemperanceâ, is the belief that you should do things in moderation. It is also the belief that one must moderate yourself so you do not cross the other pillars and become inflicted with hubris.
Xenia - hospitality
Xenia, meaning âhospitalityâ, is the biggest pillar here. It is the belief that one should always help someone out and treat them as a friend in the house, even if they are a complete foreigner. Many myths have the Gods punishing mortals for the lack of xenia.
(I hope yâall enjoy this! Iâve been thinking about making a Guide to Hellenismos series?)
Hey-
I just want to raise awareness that these pillars arenât from Hellenismos, theyâre made up by Timothy Jay Alexander, who is an outspoken homophobe. They arenât inherently a part of Hellenismos at all, and TJA certainly never practices them. Hellenismos as it existed didnât have some kind of proto-Ten-Commandments, nor did it have a central, organized dogma â worship style, even the Olympians were regional.
@inlightofolympus @witches-ofcolor
I agree with @hellenic-reconstructionism and appreciate OPâs disclaimer at the beginning, so Iâd like to add a few comments regarding this list (which Iâve seen pop up on my dash a few times now):
My main problem with this list (aside from itâs creator and itâs proto-Ten-Commandments feel) is the gate-keepy things in it especially in reference to the low-spoony community:
1) Hagneia: âpurity before the godsâ - people with depression, executive dysfunction and other things thatâll keep you from being cleanly, will find this step especially hard since the times you need the gods the most is not when youâre having a good day and can manage to take a bath or shower. Also the idea of sinning changes depending on the god and region so it just sounds like needless barriers that will keep people away from actually connecting with their gods.
Whenâs the best time to contact the gods? When you NEED to (even the desire to want to connect stems from the feeling of needing to connect.)
Nomos Arkhaios - âbeing as close to the original religion as possibleâ - Which religion? Whatâs the definition of the religion? Which version of the religion? Ancient Greece didnât have a set religion for the whole region. Each Polis had itâs own cult (not the same definition in how we mean âcultâ today).
This shouldnât be a âruleâ it should be a potential option for those who want to experience what the ancient greeks did but I often see reconstructionists add anything and everything found in ancient Greek text regarding worship and this wasnât how it was done back then because one is essentially mixing Athenian cult with corinthian or Spartan cult which is all very different.
Can you mix ancient traditions? If itâs part of your belief system, go ahead but this is my point: Iâm majoring in Classical studies with a focus on the ancient Greek religion not because Iâm a reconstructionist but because Iâm a revivalist and want to see how to best modify and apply the ancient methods to modern times but thatâs because itâs part of my beliefs.
If you wish to be a reconstructionist thatâs đŻ okay! If you wish to be a revivalist thatâs đŻ okay! Should revivalist study as much as reconstructionists in order to worship the gods? It has personally enriched my own beliefs and relationship with the gods as well as helped me differentiate them from the Roman gods so research will definitely benefit your beliefs but you do not have to recreate it if itâs not something you feel compelled to do.
These are the 2 main ones I had issues with but as OP said these are just suggestions.
If something doesnât work well for you and your relationship with the gods go ahead and leave it behind, these suggestions can get you started but just like how Ancient Greece had no Bible, the religion varied from polis to polis.
Today, different sectors of reconstructionists and revivalists (like the ancient greeks) have one thing in common: They all honor the GODS.
I've been hoping to be able to see stuff like this :) for me personally a lot of times hagneia is a kind of slippery concept. As someone with Deppresion it's really hard for me to get out of bed to clean my hands or something somedays, usually if I'm feeling good I just use hand sanitizer or wash my hands. My preferred from of worship is usually devotional acts so I go on walks, or paddleboarding and lay in the sun. It's pretty hard to keep yourself perfectly cleans while you're exploring the woods for Lady Artemis
Daily reminder that you don't have to be a helpol in any specific way
There is no fixed way for you to connect with the gods
Like me for example. I've always been lost for words when I pray. Repeating one's other people made feels stiff. So I devote myself instead. I wrap myself in their principals and let the the theoi sink into my skin and consume me whole and do it again. I build altars wherever I can, I go paddleboarding and watch the water curl around my fingers, I lay in the sun and dance in the rain. I learn languages and ways of travel, care for animals and people alike.
There is no fixed way to love the gods. You don't have to pray or even have an altar at all.
Blessed be!
Whereâs that one post thatâs like Reasons Why My Wife Cried This Week and when are we gonna get a fanfic of that but Ryland Grace.
Reasons my human has cried:
* New student, very small. Grace said it was pebble. Pebble is small Earth rock. Pebble likes name.
* He found out Eridians have no gender rules.
* Students brought him mineral sample. After he stopped crying he said he loves show-and-tell game. Human naming conventions oddly literal.
* I told him Earthsun grew bright.
* I took him up atop atmosphere bypass elevator to look at stars.
* He woke up from nap and found me still with him. I did not wait on his chest; he says I am heavy like âelephantâ and he âcouldnât breathe.â I laid my arm over him instead, kept him close, feeling safe. He said âcuddleâ was warm.
* Before class he heard younglings singing.
* He has plants in house from sprouts on ship. Plant grew âbud.â
* Engineers got seawater temperature right. He took off shoes and stood in water, sighing. He didnât care about pants getting damp. Cried until shirt was also damp. Humans very endlessly wet.
* He missed âDoritos.â
* Adrian helped food scientists make taumoeba dried paste. Made it crunchy after heating. We fused it into triangle form. Told him it was Tauritos. That made him laugh-cry. Laugh-cry is rare and precious.
* He remembered Eridians have no gender rules.
* We made him celebration outfit. Used metals he calls pretty. He can see frequencies named âcolorfulâ and âshiny.â These make humans happiest.
* I gave him hug when he wasnât expecting it. Easier to hug close now with exosuit. Hug when Grace sitting down so he does not fall over.
* Told him to think long time, stay with me as long as he can.
Oh my goodnessđ
Tauritos
