Worship of Greek Gods

Can anyone please, please and please tell me what to do to connect with Greek gods and goddesses? I want to work with them but I don't know exactly how to do. Please help me.

A good start would be to learn as much as you can about them, maybe start watching some documentaries on the pantheon as a whole and then watch some that concentrate on specific Gods/Goddesses you feel you want to start a working relationship with. Buy books on the subject and read as much as possible, don't rush, this should be a positive experience not one that brings you any stress.

Good luck

I can't buy book and neither can watch documentaries. But I do know about them. I need to know what kind of things to use.

It might help if you post which God/Goddess in particular you are referring to? They are all very different

Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, Aphrodite mostly.

You could get a small statue of Aphrodite (or something that represents her to you) for your altar/sacred space and light a pink candle (anointed with rose oil if you like) and some frankincense or myrrh incense. It doesn't have to be complicated, you could do something like this regularly as an offering for her and sit in meditation while it was burning, this would help you start building a relationship with her. This of course is just a suggestion, its the intent in your heart and consistency that really matters

What about others? I mean red rose and pink candles can represent Aphrodite but others?

You don't have to buy things to worship if you don't need to.

The first step that I would do, would be to research the mythology behind which Greek God/desses you're attracted to, or feel drawn to, and then start researching different ways to go about following Them (because the word "worship" has always thrown me off). If you learn about Them, then you'll know a better way of approaching Them in the right way. There are websites that give out mythology about the Greeks, such as theoi.com, as well as books such as Mythology by Edith Hamilton.

If you ever need help or advice on how to start down the Hellene-ish path, I'd be more than happy to help you. I've been at it for quite some time now.

Apollo you could look at things that represent the sun, Artemis things that represent the moon. Hephaestus is the God of blacksmiths so use things that are associated with that.

I gave you a suggestion for a simple ritual for Aphrodite because it was she you said you were the most interested in. It is a good idea to research and design your own rituals, they mean more that way, I hope this helps you to get started, you can find everything you need to know on the internet.

I know they're gods of what. But I'm asking for the exact things.
