Contemporary Paganism - Final Paper --> NEW TOPIC HELL YEAH

 OKAY SO 

I just found out that the really weird final paper we have to write for contemporary paganism isn't exactly set in stone. So I emailed the prof to see if I can change mine to explore the NRM of Hellenismos or Dodekatheism (which became legally recognized in 2017 and focuses on a primary 12) (Revivalist movement of the Hellenic Faith). Its a contempoary pagan movement that we didnt really discuss in class and its currently making moves - opened up the first actual pagan temple in almost 2 thousand years this year.
