YSEE (Supreme Council of Ethnic Hellenes)

The Supreme Council of Ethnic Hellenes is the official bearer of the Hellenic ethnic religion, recognized by Greek courts after decades of litigation, and the institutional center of the reconstruction of the ancient Greek religion in its homeland. YSEE organizes the practice of the Hellenic tradition as a living religion: festival and lunar calendar observances, ceremonies at its Athens hall, and the public defense of the faith of the Hellenes.

Its calendar is alive and public: recent entries include a book presentation on the goddess Athena, a Numezias (new moon) ceremony for the lunar month, and public lectures at the YSEE hall, with press releases and announcements published regularly. Photo records of its hieropraxia (sacred rites) document the organization's ceremonies.

YSEE publishes its position documents, answers to common questions, and teaching on who the ethnic Hellenes are and what they seek, and it coordinates the broader network of Hellenic polytheist practice. For Hellenismos, the reconstructed worship of the Greek gods, it is the recognized religious organization in the land where the gods were first named. The institution's stated mission: To defend and revive the Hellenic ethnic religion in its homeland.
