Last night was the celebration of the first of the new festivals on my calendar, the Hermaia Enodia which honors Hermes in his role as god of the roads ( Read more... )

Well, I said I was going to post it and here it is. This is my idea so far anyway, which will hopefully be put into play during the next year and see how it all goes. Now I am for the most part using the modern calendar rather than the lunar one, because it will just be easier for me that way. I also had to change around some of the dates of ( Read more... )

So I've been feeling Hermes kicking me in the brain the last few days; I'm supposed to be becoming more serious about my spirituality down here and I've been pretty lazy about it. So today I finally really sat down and (while playing online RPGs) got my festival calendar written up ( Read more... )

On the Neokoroi mailing list, there's a discussion going on about a Hellenic version of the Winter Solstice and what sort of things people could celebrate during that time ( Read more... )

Here's my thoughts right now ( Read more... )

I am not so good at coming up with modern holidays. Which is unfortunate for me, since I'm one of the people who really needs to, me and my patron with no ancient festivals. I don't have the imagination some others do, like Sannion and Oenochoe who authored the festival calendar I've adopted for the year. Maybe I just don't know enough about how ( Read more... )

First of all, I do feel much better today. That Advil worked wonders, the fever was still gone when I woke up and gradually over the day my cold went away too. Praise to Apollo and Asklepios, now I can go on with my plans ( Read more... )

Now that there is another deity in my pantheon, I suppose that its time for me to once again revisit my festival calendar ( Read more... )
