Today is the last day of the month devoted to Poseidon and this post is about what resources I would recommend for someone just beginning to learn about him. The first thing I would recommend is a good book on the Greek Myths. Poseidon is featured prominently in some of them. I would also recommend…
Today is a day for UPG — Unverified/Unusual Personal Gnosis. This is one of the things that people often dispute. However by saying that it is both Unverified and Personal, I will be saying that it is more something that is personal and not necessarily considered “accurate” by a lot of people. For me, what…
There are a lot of things that have been lost to us due to the interposition of a monotheistic Christian cultural overlay in Hellas between the end of the Hellenistic/Roman periods and the modern era. This leads to people not knowing things that they wish they could find out more about. In my case, dealing…
The most annoying misconception that people have of Poseidon is that he is only a “Sea God” and therefore less important than the other Olympian or Chthonic Theoi of the Hellenes. He is the Earth-Shaker, something very important in a tectonically and volcanically active area like the Mediterranean basin. He is the Father of Horses,…
Today’s topic is about how my relationship with Poseidon has changed over time. When I was young, I cannot really say that I had much of a relationship with him at all due to my being raised mainly inland. It was not really until I was in my late thirties and moved to the New…
Today’s topic is the “mirror image” of the one from yesterday. It is about a time when Poseidon REFUSED to help. Interestingly enough, it has to do with Katrina as well. Although Poseidon blessed me with not being in an area that was flooded, he left me to my own devices AFTER the storm had…
As many of my regular readers know, I am a survivor of the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans in 2005. Today’s topic is to share a time where Poseidon helped me. I can say with no doubt whatsoever in my mind that my survival during that storm was due to the grace of the…
Today’s topic is to share a piece of my own writing either for or about Poseidon. In the United States today, our Gulf Coast is preparing for a hurricane to make landfall. My response to this is to hunt up an old prayer that I wrote for Poseidon around seven years ago when I was…
Today’s topic is a quote, poem, or piece of writing that I feel Poseidon resonates strongly with. Although I prefer the more modern Athanassakis translation of both the Orphic and Homeric Hymns, the following translation of the Orphic Hymn to Poseidon is certainly fitting. [16] XVI. TO NEPTUNE [POSEIDON] The Fumigation from Myrrh Hear, Neptune…
On Monday of this week there was a total Solar Eclipse in the United States. I was able to view the eclipse in an area that was not in the path of totality but close to it. I was in an area of the country that was nearly total with slightly over 92% of the…
