Sorry I didn't blog last night

I did my monthly religious obligations to Hekate and then promptly fell asleep whilst in the comfy chair instead.

What I would have told you then was that I got a care package from Hellenion with a colourful magnet saying 'The Gods of Olympos Live!', a bumpersticker with the Hellenion logo on it and the name of the organisation in Greek, and a membership card through September of this year. Mind you, this was a surprise because I joined in 2006 and thought my membership was up and had not been able to pay my dues, but either it was for two years or I got an extension somehow. Maybe I got lost in the shuffle, because I never received a card or anything when I did join. However it happened, I'm grateful. I've enjoyed reading other people's ideas on reconstructing Greek Paganism in the modern era. Thanks, Hellenion-folk!

Interested in celebrating the ancient Greek festivals?

Hellenion has published a calendar (PDF file) to help you along. For example, tonight is the night of Hekate's Deipnon, where food is left at a crossroads (or donated to a charity these days). I can't donate any food at the moment, but I'd like to get into the habit of doing so in Her name. I did give a libation tonight in Her honour. (Like Judaism, the day begins at sunset the night before, by the way--and the new moon starts the month.)
