Star Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Hellenic practices. Books are limited and can be ordered through the LABRYS website and Amazon.com.
This book is a Hellenist's dream. Written by LABRYS Polytheistic Community it is full of great, accurate information regarding Hellenic Recon practices. Sections include: Introduction to Household Worship, On the Household Altar, Ritual Items, On Libations and Khoes, and many more.
If I had had this book a year ago, who knows where my Hellenic practice would be today.
The section on the Hellenic Holy Days was especially helpful. The chapter is short and yet they were able to clearly explain how the Hellenic Lunar calendar works. So simple.
The last half of the book includes about 11 of LABRYS' written ceremonies. Of course, these may not be the word for word rituals that the group uses, however, as someone who is attempting to write Hellenistic rituals herself, this section is pricless.
And the most exciting thing? This is only book one. LABRYS is currently in the works of translating their other published works from Greek to English. The next one will be about Communial Worship.
