I am very happy and proud to announce that Elaion now has a presence on Facebook in the form of a group we would love to have you join. Robert and I discussed stepping outside the comfort of the Yahoo groups for a long time, and we decided that a Facebook group would not only allow members to network easier, but also to help us get the word out about Elaion, a group we are both very passionate about--and many with us.
The Facebook group can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/493505187394238/
I joined Elaion a few months ago, and found a home there very quickly. I am a full member now, a moderator, and a partner to group owner Robert Clark. This Facebook move is very exciting for both of us.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask any Elaion member who has an online presence in the form of a group, blog, website, youtube channel, etc. connected to Hellenismos, to share this medium with me. We will make that information available to the new Facebook group, as well as the Yahoo groups so these resources can be more easily found by members and non-members alike. We will also take interesting posts and videos from those mediums and link to them in the Facebook group when we feel our members could benefit from it. To add your medium to the list, please follow the instructions posted in the e-mail distributed through the Yahoo groups. We hope to have the first version of this list up soon.
Until that time, we hope you will join us on Facebook; the list is open to all who are interested in our flavor of Reconstructionism, and it is a place to get help and in-depth discussion about Hellenismos. We hope to see you there!
Would non-Hellenes, like myself, be allowed to join as well? I'm a Gaulish Reconstructionist, but I'm fascinated by what other polytheists do, no matter their faith. :)
ReplyDeleteOf course! The Yahoo groups might not be your thing, but the Facebook group is open to everyone who is interested :)
DeleteI was referring to the Facebook group, in fact. :)
ReplyDeleteI tried Yahoo groups for a while, for discussions about Celtic religion, but I find that most people get tired of it [Yahoo] rather quickly, because they use other social networks more often and don't feel like logging in to another yet website. I ended up moving to Facebook (and Wordpress), like Elaion. :P
