A Month of Devotional Thought — Demeter, Day 31

On the last day of this month, the topic is what advice would I give to someone just learning about Demeter. My advice, like with any of the other Theoi, is twofold. First, learn what you can from the things that people in both Ancient and Modern times have written about her. This includes what…

A Month of Devotional Thought — Demeter, Day 30

Today’s topic is about any UPG that I would have about Demeter. And I do not actually have any because I am still attempting to understand more about Demeter myself and due to that cannot say that I have any sort of deep understanding about her

“Pagan Umbrella” vs. “Big Campground Paganism”

I read a post recently that another blogger did entitled The Marginalization of Polytheists in the Public Sphere of Paganism and I agree with the writer’s points. Pagans, in general, are considered to be a “fringe group” by many people in Western (read European) societies. Polytheists are considered to be a “fringe group within a fringe…

A Month of Devotional Thought — Demeter, Day 29

Today is more about what I wish I knew about Demeter. For me, this is simple. I would like to know a lot more about her everyday cultus from the Minoan period in Greece through the Late Classical period. The reason for this is to parse out for myself how best to bring that cultus…

A Month of Devotional Thought — Demeter, Day 28

Today’s topic is what do I consider to be the worst misconception about Demeter. The .gif file that is featured with this blog post illustrates it while still being a very good representation of Her. Demeter is thought as being a goddess of agricultural endeavors, but especially of grain. The misconception is that this is…

A Month of Devotional Thought — Demeter, Day 27

I didn’t always know as much as I do know now or have as close of a relationship with Demeter as I do now. And at first, I really didn’t think that she was a Goddess that I would need to build as close of a rapport with. This was when I was in my…

A Month of Devotional Thought — Demeter, Day 26

Like yesterday, today’s post is something that is personal. It is about a time Demeter did NOT help me when I needed her help (and in point of fact is still not helping me). Yesterday I wrote of the community garden at the building where I am. There is one participant, that no matter how…

How do we as Polytheists respond to events like the Manchester attack?

This is something that has been milling around in my head for several days. On a personal level, I am glad that the bomber is dead. However, the fact that the bombing even happened, as well as the news stories that the bomber’s brother was also planning an attack, begs the question of their motivation.…

A Month of Devotional Thought — Demeter, Day 25

Today’s topic, as well as tomorrow’s will be ones that are more personal than some of the others have been. Today’s topic is about a time that Demeter helped me. Although it has been indirect, I would say that getting into the apartment building I currently live in has been in part due to Demeter’s…

A Month of Devotional Thought — Demeter, Day 24

Demeter Soteria Mistress with your daughter of Eleusis You purify us from our miasma in preparation for our journey from your court to Persephone’s We who are merely mortal are made worthy of the Islands of the Blessed by your gift
