I also recommend corpus hermeticum

All you need to do is study the ancient philosophers! But the books suggested are probably a good introduction.

+Orpheas Nestos Hm. I disagree. The philosopher's can certainly tell us something about the way ideal religion was conceptualised by a certain group of people, but it tells us nothing about actual, real-world religious practices.

Ellie Mackin Roberts There is actually many descriptions of worship and the rituals ( if that is what you mean) within the works of Ancient Greek writers coming from various fields. Ancient Greek philosophers in particular have written mainly about the values and concepts of the Ancient Hellenic religion. In that sense one can gain an understanding of the essence of it all.
