Well, as some of my readers already know, I do consider myself to be a scholar. I've always been a well-read person since I was a child. In college, as a History/English/Humanities major, I was on reading and writing overload, especially with the Honors Programme. So, when I realized that I was actually a polytheist, I tried to find things to read. There wasn't anything in the 1960s and 1970s in regular book stores. It is still difficult unless you are close to a college or university book store. Back then there was no Amazon. What little there was could be cataloged under the heading of DRECK. It took a while to find those first books, which were almost all published by university presses.
Anyway, I am having to replace some titles (too tattered etc.) and I am getting into the early philosophers (the Atomists and pre-Socratics). There is also a lot of newer scholarship out there, so I need to keep up if I decide to become a priestess and neokoroi.
