u/HeraclesfromOlympus

Epicurus, despite probably being related with Platonic philosophy in metaphysics and ethics, and despite the problems of the school and the mistranslation of their terms over the centuries, always had a spot in my heart.

Currently i don't know how i identify my practice, it's basically mixed ancient calendar offerings days + offerings and libations and burnt offerings.

I don't want to describe myself as religious or it as religion as with fixed identitary set of practices and dogmas, more like as a devotional way to the gods taking practices from ancient Greece's and possibly other paganisms/philosophies.

Epicurus did "solve" the problem of thinking about practice and fear of the gods, which sometimes -the fear of not having a mature practice- get me being i the only pagan i know around.

So i wanted to know how those who apply to his philosophy and teachings nowadays practice, a bit curious tbh.

I think it's a problem the fact I don't have an altar and do offerings and pour libations outside in the garden, but i can't really put an altar too big if i can't move it anymore. Maybe small altars are my case?

The statues of the gods are on the top of a library, and only a black statue of Zeus is put outside in the garden, so when i do offerings it's most of the times near Zeus' statue than the other gods'.

I don't think the way i do is much traditional, so if you can give me some advice on how to adjust my practice to make it more similar to that of the ancients i'd be grateful.
