For the most part, it means that I choose to worship the Ancient Greek Pantheon of Gods, or the Theoi.
I understand that this can mean very many things, dependent on your own worldview. Just like an academic Christian might say, "Well, I don't really think there's an old man in the sky," So, too, is it with me and my perspective on this open religion. I don't believe that the Theoi hold constant human forms, rather, instead of that Christian example from earlier, who might say, "Everything near and far is ultimately created by one force or cause." I would say, I truly believe that there are multiple forces at play every day since we started standing on two legs, until the very end of it all, which I certainly don't have to worry about. And, this page is to be dedicated to further research, explaination, and understanding into the reconstructing and implementing these practices for everyday postmodern life.
The measurement of epochs from the eighth century BC onwards is made in centuries or even decades, but before this lie four dark centuries and then some eight centuries of Bronze Age high civilization. And another thousend years to the Early Bronze Age, and the Neolithic extends over more than three millenia. The Upper Palaeolithic, which then spans more than 25,000 years; there are indications of religious continuity stretching from the Lower Palaeolithic.
Pottery shards can be collected and identified. The period following the discovery of ceramics, is was this which has been determined the demarcation and chronology of the individual cultures. The modes of behavior, to say nothing of the ideas, of early man can be comprhended only indirectly. There is increasing wariness of over-hasty interpretation: It is no longer acceptable to call everything that is not understood religious or ritual, and to explain it by means of some tenuously drawn analogy.
