Reading

Here is a collection of books, journals, and other writings that we have used and can suggest for others. These are all the work and property of the authors, publishers, and producers who created them. They do not directly indorse our kindred, nor do we indorse every work or action from the authors. We have these listed as a resource for those looking to study further on their own.

As often as possible we try to thoroughly research and study for our contributions to the kindred. However Heathenry and Hellenism are living faiths, full of different traditions and eclectic influences.

We are not all academics and scholars. We are real people, living our faiths and working to contribute good to the world.
