Happy Attic New Year to my Hellenic Polytheists!
The first Noumenia after the Summer Solstice is the New Year in Ancient Athens, meaning we need new Festival Calendars!

I hope this helps you on your journey. Have a blessed year!

I made a little reference infographic with canva on the most common historical offerings made to the gods in Ancient Greece to help out beginners. Please feel free to copy and share, just don't claim it as your own.

Hail Apollo, our golden god! May he drive out all plague & famine! Give your woes to the scapegoat to carry away so you can feel lighter. Hail to Demeter of the green shoots! Hail the crow and swallow!

Happy Thargelia!

Happy Thargelion!
The Noumenia will be April 28/29 depending on your timezone. I have versions for both West and East coast now! The theme for this month is cleaning and purging to make way for future blessings.

What do you want to release right now?

In lieu of an actual Garden for Adonis I'm gearing up for gardening season. He can't have these though, I need them to grow 🤭

A happy Adonia for those celebrating! 🌹

In honor of his holy day I wrote a little myth for his mother, Myrrha, and the origin of myrrh.

The City Dionysia was a grand city-wide festival for Dionysos Eleutherios with a parade, a procession of comedic and tragic plays, and a choir contest.

How are you celebrating? 🧵

It is a superbly windy day, beautiful and a little unnerving. I recall once when researching the Tritopatores that they were sometimes believed to have become wind spirits. I'd like to think my ancestors are here today.

Now is the time to celebrate the Lesser Mysteries for Persephone & Herakles, a purification & education festival for Persephone's myths. The 3-day festival takes place sometime between now & 2/25/25.

Have you read the Homeric Hymn to Demeter? 📚

I was enjoying flipping through Van Gogh's paintings this morning with my coffee when I realized...

No matter how much research I do for a festival, there is always ONE MORE article to read, always ONE MORE bit I want to add to a post before I publish. But man I gotta get these babies out! xD

Io Hene kai Nea, the last day of the lunar month! Today is perfect for wrapping up outstanding debts & house cleaning to start the new month fresh. Some celebrate the Deipnon today, the dinner for Hekate & her restless dead as they're escorted to the underworld.

Io Gamelia! Today or tomorrow (timezone dependent) is Hera's Athenian festival celebrating her marriage with Zeus. The entire month was the ideal time to get married bc of the symbolism of Spring & new growth, and the day was an excuse for quality time w/ the spouse!

Good Morning Bluesky! Getting settled into the new place. My altar isn't set up yet, but as long as I have my mountains I think I'll be okay.

Hail to The Mountain Mother, Rhea/Kybele!

Moving is always hard for me. I'm going to miss the new season of interpersonal squirrel politics AND I'm going to have to find a new vietnamese restaurant to haunt 😩
