Sometimes writes under the pen name "Terentios Poseidonides"

Terentios Poseidonides is a temple priest—hiereus—of Poseidon, a job that is performed in a variety of ways including by acting as oracle of the bull god, researching both ancient and modern ways to honor Poseidon in the context of ancient Greek (Hellenic) culture, and providing spiritual support as needed to practicing polytheists who seek it. Poseidonides' practice includes the honoring of a number of other deities and spirits, and is expressed by stretching the understanding of spirit-work into the realms of grammar, economics, and political theory.
