Website: http://wanderingchild.org Nicole Mazza (Artemidora) - Cumming, Georgia (suburb of Atlanta) I am somewhat new to Hellenic Polytheism as a spiritual path as I have only been concentrating on it for the last 6 months or so. My background has been primarily based around Artemis as my patron deity since my youth - it just happened that only somewhat recently did I discover modern worship of the Hellenic pantheon. I went through several spiritual paths to find this one, generally attempting to incorporate Artemis in some form, before finding this path - which is, of course, the most obvious one for Her. So, now I am trying to get more active in the Hellenic pagan community, which has led me to not only start a Y!group called "se_hellenes" (Southeast Hellenes), but to also work towards setting up a local ritual group. I look forward to meeting more Hellenic Polytheists, both in my area and elsewhere! Leukas - Michigan Devotee of Apollon, and Hermes. Artist, musician, writer. Hellene. Shaman.
