7 Basic Thesis of Thyrsos Hellenes Gentiles

(The following constitutes our exclusive thesis, part or all of which may differ from the beliefs or thesis of the other organized Hellenic groups)

Hellenism
The term Hellenism constitutes a modern term which denotes the Heathen pre-Christian Worldview. With the term Hellenism, we do not refer to the citizens who have the nationality of the modern Hellenic state, neither those people who have Greek origin. The meaning of Hellenism encompasses all those who freely choose to follow the Naturally developed Hellenic Ethnic, not monotheistic, Way of Thought. Hellenism as a term encompasses the whole belief system of the Greek Ethnic period which is defined as pre-Christian, the Historical Beginning of which can be placed in Arcadia and Minoan Crete, as well as the beliefs of those who continued to defend this particular Worldview at a later period until up to our days.

Main characteristics
It is clear that the main characteristic of Hellenism is its religious view, i.e. Polytheism, which constitutes the base upon which Hellenic Civilization of the pre-monotheistic period was developed, and is also the primary characteristic upon which we can rely on in order to understand the complete Hellenic Worldview. Any attempt to cut-off the worship beliefs from Hellenism is an act of amputation, and whatever system of thought derives from such an act, can only be a handicapped one.

Political level
Hellenism cannot be a branch of, or depend on any specific modern political ideology, since it preceded them all. And it is impossible for any specific political party from those that exist today, to exclusively embrace or control Hellenism, since they all owe their existence to a school of thought that is miles away from the Greek Way, while their dynamics may at best derive only from specific aspects they have borrowed from Hellenism. Any attempt to identify Hellenism with specific political parties, belonging either to the Left or to the Right, either to their extremes or to the modest ones, is destined to failure, since the parties themselves are unable to raise the special weight of Hellenism and especially that region within Hellenism which is called Polytheism.

As a System
Hellenism is Philosophically revolutionary since it openly proposes the dispute and prohibition of the modern way of life because it is deprived of spirituality and justice and it relies almost exclusively on a material and technocratic perception while it explicitly downgrades human as a Being, since it practically and demonstrably deprives humans of their development, as a result of their chronic confinement within that system of thought. Hellenism cannot be represented by definition, but it requires each person to accept his or her responsibility in every social dimension and especially the one connected with political activities.

Is it a Dogma?
If by the term dogma we are referring to the modern etymology of the word which means a sealed, final and irrevocable system of thought that requires blind application considering each opposition as a dangerous sect, then of course, and with great emphasis, the answer is, no!
The plethora of ideas, their diversity and their aim to cover the social needs in each different historical moment, constitute the founding stones of Hellenism, which is not deprived of regulations about life or behavior, but rather, those are the distillation of many and different Philosophical Schools that have Human as their common center and his relationship with the Gods, the natural environment (which we do not consider our property but, on the contrary, consider ourselves to be its guests), the humanity either as an entity or in the level of interpersonal relations, and also the individual character of each and every person. The old regulations can be put under dispute without fear if a new theory provides arguments and proves through an organized system that it can offer more advantages in favor of humans and their relationship with all of the above mentioned correlations.
The testimony for all of these points is provided by the existence of various perceptions in different periods of the Hellenic Civilization, which are not separated but rather make Hellenism complete.

The relationship with other Ethnic Traditions
Concerning the European traditions with which we are related both historically and due to the vicinity, Hellenism does what it always did. It coexists and interacts, supporting the Creation of a wider European Heathenry, which has its Historical Starting point in the Greek Heathen Way, goes on to the corresponding Roman Heathenry and then reaches beyond, to every other Heathenry of all the people in our Mother Continent Europe.
It henceforth appears clearly as a historical fact, since the required centuries have passed, the facts/landmarks are known, and we now have the Knowledge and the necessary technology that promotes communication, thus henceforth all the European Traditions acquire a common parameter, but at the same time they maintain their essential National identity, since this characteristic is the base upon which the whole Construction settles.
Outside Europe, the Ethnic - non monotheistic Traditions of other nations are of course much closer to the Hellenic Way than any non-Ethnic cultural system.

Back in time?
It is naïve to believe that Hellenism is technophobic, or requests its members to walk around wearing archaic costumes. Something like that would at best be a romantic duplication, or at worst, a psychopathologic situation. However, technology as well as aesthetics is placed under a new viewpoint in Hellenism.
As long as technology serves the human needs, and –more importantly– does not turn against natural environment which constitutes a Live Being and not just lifeless material, it is necessary to develop parallel to society.
As for the aesthetics in buildings but also in clothing or in any other aspect, we definitely believe that it has to create Harmony and Uplift the Spirit without being afraid to constantly propose something new and updated.
Finally it is double as naive to believe that Hellenism is only an aesthetic fetish for those who do not feel comfortable with their way of life and seek to hide within a shelter outside of time and space.
