Fighting to be a better Pagan, one day at a time. August 26, 2016. Depth of Praise is now published. It is done. With the click of a mouse, my first book is released to the world. Is now available via CreateSpace, and this Poseidon devotional will be available via Amazon.com in 3-5 business days. It is not, and never will be, available in any electronic form. All the more valuable. August 22, 2016. A hearty “thank you” to the people of Asatru Folk Assembly. Unless you are the target of the racist behavior.

Musings of an English Hellenist. Newer posts →. Some Goals for 2012. I’ve decided not only to join the pagan blogging project. Late I know), but set myself some personal goals, which are:. 1) Memorise at least one Orphic Hymn in Ancient Greek. Probably the Orphic Hymn to Hekate to recite at the crossroads at night when leaving offerings. 2) Use my art more often as a devotional practice. 3) Finish preparing the garden for growing food. 4) Improve my writing skills and do more devotional writing.

Musings of an English Hellenist. PBP2012: Brimo-Hekate →. The eagle symbolises strength, far sightedness and authority, these are also a few of the qualities Zeus is described to have. He is described as the strongest of gods (Zeus Sthenios), a god who orders (Zeus Kosmetes) and a god who protects (Zeus Apemios). Of course, this is just one perspective I have on the myth and a personal one at that. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. PBP2012: Brimo-Hekate →. 23/01/2012 at 4:49 AM. Fill in your detail...

PBP2012: Chastity | Ptolemais
https://ptolemais.wordpress.com/2012/02/04/pbp2012-chastity
Musings of an English Hellenist. Temperance by Piero Pollaiolo. Chastity is something that rarely seems to be talked about in pagan circles, I guess it’s just something that is plain boring. I’m going to write a little a bit about it though. Indeed, I consider myself to be chaste, but not because I’m a prude (far from it, in fact). I chose to be chaste because it suits my nature. But do not confuse chastity with celibacy and abstinence. Chastity is about temperance, which fits in with the virtue of.

https://ptolemais.wordpress.com/2012/01/27/pbp2012-brimo-hekate
Musings of an English Hellenist. An Excerpt from “Henry VIII and his Court” →. Hekate Brimo…hearing his words from the abyss, came up…She was garlanded by fearsome snakes that coiled themselves round twigs of oak; the twinkle of a thousand torches lit the scene;and hounds of the underworld barked shrilly all around her”. 8211; Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 3.1194. From that place, Hekate seems to have been quite important. With her role as a protective deity, it’s natural to think of dogs as her ...

Musings of an English Hellenist. Musica Universalis →. An Excerpt from “Henry VIII and his Court”. John Heywood, who was a remarkably fine singer, seized the mandolin, which lay near him, and began to sing. But the ladies laughed not. They darted flashing glances at John Heywood; and Lady Richmond earnestly and resolutely demanded the punishment of the perfidious wretch who dared to defame women. The king laughed still harder. The rage of the ladies was so exceedingly amusing. 8220;Yes, revenge! 8221; sa...

PBP2012: Bassareus | Ptolemais
https://ptolemais.wordpress.com/2012/02/04/pbp2012-bassareus
Musings of an English Hellenist. PBP2012: Chastity →. Bassareus is an interesting surname for Dionysos, derived from the words ‘bassara’ or ‘bassaris’, the long robe the god and his mainades wore in Thrace. Bassaris actually means fox, which leads one to conclude that the robe is made from fox-skins. The fox is known for its love of grapes and other fruit and is even the subject of an Aesop’s fable:. I don’t need any sour grapes”. 8211; Phaedrus 4.3. The fox in folklore is typically associated with sexua...
