>>12583447>Can you describe a pagan prayer or ritual? Where are the priests?Rituals can be extremely simple (e.g. making khernips or offering to the Gods, libations) or involve multiple members with a whole procession and a set of prayers to the deities, those are made curing festivities (e.g. Delphinia

>Where are the priests?There are a couple of roman polytheist communities around here, I'm sure they reenact rituals in their own way, but generally private worship holds more importance than public festivities, private worship has survived well into the 4th century when the temples and idols of the Gods were destroyed or closed down. In private worship, you're the priest, and your house is your temple.
>But the practical stuff isn't, like the Eleusinian Mysteries for example.We may not know about them in depth, but we still know they included a ritual bath in the sea, three days of fasting, and completion of the still-mysterious central rite. I'm quite sure you can find enough resources to get the gist of these rituals, though finding people who would like to join you is another question.
