Greek Pagans Defend Their Heritage

So, you might not have heard, but some slimy real estate dude wants to build a gods-awful museum (read: elaborate gift shop) on the fraking Acropolis.

Ellinais, however, isn't going to let that happen without making a fuss. See the story on CNN for full details.

Irish pagans are defending Tara, Greek pagans are defending the Acropolis, and what are North American pagans doing? I shudder to think what the answer to that might be.

Thank you for keeping us up to date on polytheistic happenings.; September 2, 2008 at 1:07 PM

As for the "dark delusions of the past", well, one needn't go much past the Bible for a passel of those.

It's nice to see the old ways being defended.; September 4, 2008 at 2:16 PM
