From Chaos to Cosmos: Ancient Greek Worldviews for Modern Practice
From Chaos to Cosmos: Ancient Greek Worldviews for Modern Practice
Where did the universe come from, and how is it put together? For modern Hellenic polytheists and witches, the answers aren't just myths—they’re the foundation of ritual, relationship, and magic.
In this one-hour deep dive, we’ll journey from the primordial birth of the gods to the structured layers of reality. We’ll untangle the essential concepts of cosmogony (the origin story) and cosmology (the universal blueprint), moving swiftly from the first deities—Chaos, Gaia, Eros—through the epic struggles of the Titans to the established Pantheon of the Olympians.
More than a history lesson, this class connects ancient thought to modern practice, an invitation to understand the universe as the ancient Greeks did.. Discover how the Greek understanding of celestial, earthly, and chthonic realms informs ritual direction, how the genealogy of the gods explains their domains and relationships, and why this ancient map of the universe is still a vital guide for your path today.
Designed for Hellenic pagans and witches, we’ll translate these ancient frameworks into a living context. Learn how this cosmic map defines your connection to the divine, shapes effective ritual space, and offers a profound way to navigate your spiritual practice. Walk away with a clear understanding of the gods' origins and the layered world they rule.
Class will run about an hour long with time at the end for questions and discussion.
