What do some sects of the Greek Orthodox Church have against hellenic rituals?
Several different Greek Orthodox sects have blocked such rituals, and mock their Gods as "demons". Greece does not recognize Hellenic Polytheism as a religion. Serbia is having "Witch Hunts". Why so much opposition?
The Greek Orthodox are Christians…Hellenic Polytheism is not. Just because Hellenic rituals may have been a part of Greek culture does not mean that Greek Orthodox Christians should condone it. Orthodoxy is separate (or should be separate) from the culture. It is based on Orthodoxy in and of itself. The Orthodox theology crosses all geographic and cultural boundaries…and the Greek Orthodox sects are bound by that theology; otherwise, they would be separating themselves from true Orthodox Christianity.

Because the Greek Orthodox don’t want to have a competition that remove it clients, the Hellenic pagans wasn’t converted in peace by the church, the church lie about this, they converted greeks for the sword and the destruction of libraries and temples:
