Temenoi We are the Neokoroi, the temple keepers. Our very name suggests that the building and maintenance of temples and other holy places will be a key part of our organization. The idea may seem daunting right now, especially if you think of "temple" as a giant marble columned structure that would take huge sums of money to erect. So instead, let's start small, and dream big. Already, most of us have some kind of shrine in our homes. Some of us even have whole rooms or outdoor spaces devoted to the gods. It would be very possible for many of us to create public shrines, dedicated to our gods and primarily used by ourselves, but open to other Hellenic polytheists who might wish to come, pray, leave offerings, etc. They don't have to be temples, merely temenoi (a temenos is a sacred precinct, set aside from mundane things to house temples or shrines for a god or gods). In the event of full temples being built, they would be Neokoroi naoi. Below is a list of public temenoi run by members of Neokoroi. In the future, we will have information here to help you set up your own open shrine. You can also go to Holy Places Everywhere, which highlights the locations of statues and other things inspired by Greek mythology. Neokoroi Temenoi Temple for Artemis at Cataleos, located in Cambridge, MA maintained by Neokoros Thista, open to the public by request. Hellenic Temple of Apollon, Zeus and Pan, in Rhode Island, maintained by Neokoros Timotheos. Brooksville Temenos in Florida, chiefly dedicated to Hekate, includes intoor and outdoor temenoi, maintained by Neokoros Robert. Pictures in the photos section of our yahoogroup.
