Only sixteen chapters of Plethon's Book of Laws survive, and for
the first time ever, they have been translated into English in
their entirety. George Gemistos, who called himself Plethon, helped
to trigger the Renaissance by reawakening an interest in Platonism.
After his death, his Christian enemies discovered and burned his
secret book on Platonic Pagan theology. These pages are what
survived. Through translations and commentary by John Opsopaus PhD,
you can immerse yourself in this philosopher's complete system of
Neopagan theology and religious practice focused on the Hellenic
pantheon and deeply rooted in ancient Greek Paganism. Enrich your
own practice with detailed instructions from the Book of Laws on
conducting these religious ceremonies. This impressive guide
features rituals, prayers, invocations, and hymns for holiday and
daily use along with Plethon s complete sacred calendar.
Since ancient times, divination has been an important tool for
seeking guidance from the gods. Fortunately, several ancient
divination systems are available to us today. The Oracles of Apollo
shows how to use two surviving divination systems-the Alphabet
Oracle (dating from early third century Greek culture) and the
Counsels of the Seven Sages, which were inscribed on tablets at the
Temple of Apollo at Delphi. There are several different techniques
for consulting each oracle. This book provides rituals based in
ancient practice for consecrating your divinatory tools and for
conducting the most effective divinations. You will also discover
important insights into the history and mythology of ancient
divinatory practices.
