Greek neo-paganism is experiencing a resurgence of interest today, and Hellenism — or Dodecatheism — the ancient religion of the Greeks, seems to be gradually coming out of obscurity. Manual of Hellenism – The Contemporary Practice of Greek Polytheism fills a real gap in French-language esoteric literature. Accessible and comprehensive, this work lays the foundations for a pagan practice fully rooted in the modern world.
Antinoüs Seranill guides the reader toward the central ideal of Hellenism: areté, the pursuit of excellence in all areas of life. He develops a clear vision free from any ideological discourse, addressing ethical values as well as daily rituals, festivals dedicated to the gods, weddings and funerals, setting up an altar, prayers, domestic devotions, divination, and the use of the Attic calendar. This manual invites rediscovery of the gods of Olympus through an autonomous, respectful, and deeply living practice.

A Contemporary Renaissance of Hellenism
In a context of rediscovering pagan traditions, Hellenism — or Dodecatheism — is generating growing interest among those who wish to reconnect with the ancient Greek cults. Antinoüs Seranill’s Manual of Hellenism fits into this dynamic and provides a clear and structured response to a glaring gap in French-language esoteric literature. By offering a comprehensive and accessible synthesis, the author enables contemporary practitioners to embrace this living tradition without freezing it into a museum-like reconstruction. Hellenism appears here as a full-fledged spiritual path, capable of adapting to modernity while remaining faithful to its philosophical and ritual roots.
The Quest for Arete as a Central Pillar
Antinoüs Seranill grounds his approach in the ideal of arete, that human excellence the Greeks considered the noblest of pursuits. This concept becomes the guiding thread of the book, running through practical advice as well as ethical reflections. The author develops a clear vision of Hellenism, free from any dogmatism or ideological appropriation, refocusing the practice on personal fulfillment, justice, respect for the gods, and harmony with the cosmos. He also addresses the ethical foundations of this ancient spirituality, which values virtue, individual responsibility, and honor in everyday actions.
A Practical Guide to Living Hellenism Today
The manual concretely explores how to integrate Greek traditions into modern life. From domestic devotions to building an altar, from prayers to the festivals of the Attic calendar, every aspect is presented with precision and clarity. The author details rituals related to birth, marriage, or death, while allowing great freedom of adaptation according to individual needs. He also offers guidance for divination, ceremony organization, and daily alignment with the gods of Olympus. This book thus becomes a true companion for pagan practitioners wishing to weave a sincere, autonomous, and respectful connection with the Hellenic deities.
Antinoüs Seranill is an elder and high priest active in several witchcraft traditions, deeply immersed in magic and witchcraft since childhood. From the age of thirteen, he embarked on a committed spiritual path and trained in contemporary pagan traditions. He was initiated into the Minoan Brotherhood, an American witchcraft tradition reserved for men who love men, as well as the New York Wicca Tradition (NYWT).
In May 2019, he founded the Temenos Ta Massalia, a small dodecatheistic (Hellenistic) congregation active in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. He divides his time between Shreveport (Louisiana) and La Ciotat (France), where he regularly organizes witchcraft gatherings and public celebrations, notably in Nouméa.

We welcome all traditions.
We don’t put one path above another. We talk hoodoo, kabbalah, Christian prayers, elemental magic, folk rituals, Celtic symbols. What matters is respect. Not the label.
