Scott, Rebecca Lynn. A Litany for the Many Dead. CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2015. Amazon.com, Kindle. Amazon.com, paperback.

Throughout human history, we have remembered, told stories of, commemorated, venerated, and worshipped the Dead. Too often, though, we remember only those closest to us, our family and friends, people we look up to. We forget all the others down through history who have died. All of the Dead deserve commemoration.

Written as an act of devotion, A Litany to the Many Dead honors the many generations of humanity who have lived and died before is, in many ways and for many reasons.

Winter, Sarah Kate Istra. Kharis: Hellenic Polytheism Explored. CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2008. Amazon.com, paperback.

Kharis: Hellenic Polytheism Explored delves into the many aspects of the revival of Greek paganism, from its ancient roots to its modern practice. It is written for the person new to Hellenismos, and for the person who has been practicing for years, as well as for people outside of the religion who are interested in learning more. It covers not only the basics of worship, but also how make the ancient religion relevant to modern times, cultivate relationships with the gods and other divinities, and create a deeply satisfying spiritual life. The emphasis of this book is on the concept of kharis, the reciprocity so implicit in the practice of Hellenic polytheism. From the simplest devotional act, to prayer, to divination, to mysticism, the principle of reciprocal favor governs the heart of this religion and lets each worshipper encounter the gods on a real and profound level.
