Just because this entry is about “Everyone else” does not mean that the Gods we have not discussed yet are any less important in the overall scheme of things than the ones we have discussed already. There are so many Gods that we could not be able to cover them all within the auspices of…

Today we get to the last of what have been referred to as the “Big Three” — the sons of Cronos, the god Zeus. He is the Ruler of the Gods and he has been called the Father of Gods and Men. Of all the children of Chronos he was the only one not swallowed…

The lord of the underworld is a god that is often feared because of his ties to death (which seems final to many people) and the afterlife (which seems eternal). But he is the generous host whose realm everyone eventually will visit. Haides is the eldest of the sons of Chronos, and as such could…

Some people might wonder why I’m not writing about a different God today. It is because I feel very close to Poseidon, closer than to his brothers. Poseidon is not as well known as Zeus and not as feared as Haides. It is because of this that people might not understand the depth of Poseidon’s…

Hail to thee Heavenly Queen! Today’s subject is Hera. We often look at her as just the “jealous wife” of Zeus but she is so much more than that. As a devotee of Hera I will try to describe a few of her characteristics and how they affect us. First, she IS the wife and…

To some people it would seem odd to have this as a topic for the blog but respect for the environment is a part of the respect we owe the Gods. Gaea is one of the eldest gods and the whole world is her realm. As one of the Protogonoi she is more than a…

This is an interesting one for me considering that I celebrate both ancient and modern festivals. This is not because I do not prefer the Reconstructionist methodology for Hellenismos but because the ancients combined religious with civic holidays in their festivals. I try to celebrate many of the ancient festivals as best as I can…

I’m interrupting the 30-day meme to post about a subject near and dear to my heart. This is Thanksgiving Day in the United States and in MY opinion this is a festival of Hestia in the modern day. This is a day where we gather as families to celebrate a festival centered around home and…

This day’s entry is one that would be familiar to just about anyone with a religious bent. It is about the power of prayer and reciprocity in our lives. Prayer is how we speak to the Gods and reciprocity is how we interact with the Gods through our actions and theirs in our lives. These…
