🌾🍁 Spirits of Thesmophoria - Demeter's Sacred Pig
But instead of sacrificing it to Demeter, a modern Thesmophoria would select a sow to be crowned the Sacred Gilt, and be fed many offerings for gratitude to the earth. The scraps (and waste) are then collected and composted for the following Spring.

🌾🍁 Spirits of Thesmophoria - Demeter
Goddess of harvest, agriculture, grain, and fertility. Also the title of the head woman of a household in this festival.
Her daughter was kidnapped by Hades, and she ain't mourning... she's fucking pissed.

Questions like this are why we’re friends 😂
But no, a quick scan finds no mention of the Thesmophoria and zero rude words, just a lot of discussion of pancakes and different kinds of wheat flour. There is a section on offerings to gods tho at 6.75-6ish?

When Yeshua cast out the legion of demons and these went into the pigs, which then run and drowned into the sea. This was perhaps a mockery sacrifice to the god Poseidon or an insult to the god Demeter, for pigs were sacrificed in mass to him in the Thesmophoria festivals.

It's consistent historically, though. Aristophanes' Women at the Thesmophoria is all about imagining what evil and decadent things women indulge in while hanging out for 3 days without any men around.

This particular kylix is attributed to the Painter of the Burgon Sianas and dates from 560–550 BCE. Connecting back to the harvest theme, the kylix possibly depicts a scene from the Thesmophoria, an agricultural fertility festival celebrated by the wives of Athenian citizens /2
