Hellenic Lore

We at the Witchipedia are not experts in Greek mythology, religion, Hellenic reconstructionism, nor indeed any pantheon or religion. These articles are provided here because they relate to another article somewhere on the site that relates to witchcraft, magick or the occult, which is our primary focus. There is no way that we can give individual paths and Pantheons the attention they deserve while still maintaining our focus, but we do want you to have the most comprehensive information possible. To that end, we are constantly on the lookout for other websites that provide better information in this area. We recommend you visit the following websites for more in-depth study of this subject.
