Migration to WordPress

Khairete!

The migration of the Temple blog to WordPress is underway! 

This blog is not going anywhere, but will not be updated other than to link the master festival posts to current festival entries on the new blog.

The place to go to find our new content is here:  https://temenosoikidios.wordpress.com/

We hope to see you over there!

May the blessings of the Gods be with you.

Philokhoria 2018

Khairete!

Apologies for the long hiatus.

Today, we celebrate the Philokhoria, our summer solstice festival, complete with the Philokhoria Puppet Show!

Left to right, we have Helios, Apollon, the narrator who plays the role of a stag, a beautiful woman, and a beautiful man, Zeus, Pan, and Artemis.  The play is based on a somewhat obscure tale from Callimachus.

Plans continue for our migration to WordPress, which will likely happen at or just after our Anadikia retreat next month.  Stay tuned for further developments!

Until then, may the blessings of the Gods be with you!

Diogennia 2018

Khairete!

Today

Today at Temenos Oikidios, we celebrated the Diogennia, Zeus' birthday.

We began with a retelling of the Cretan myth of Zeus' birth.  Thusia was our traditional loaf of bread along with libations of mead and sparkling cider, and theoxenia included lemon chicken, rice, roasted vegetables, fresh vegetables and hummus, blueberry-bran muffins, honey, herbal tea, and cupcakes for birthday cake.

For Pagan Arts & Crafts, we created ktesios jars to invite Zeus Melikhios to bless our pantries.

Coming Up

Next month, we will be celebrating the Gamelia/Theogamia on February 18.

With the change in name, we will be moving to a new blog on Wordpress.  More info to come next month.

In the meantime, may the blessings of the Gods be with you!
