Resources on Hellenic Theology

Apuleius Platonicus is posting a nice series on Stoic theology – there are two parts up so far. Also, I highly recommend Annyikha/Kayleigh’s ongoing series, “How Sallustius Made Me a Hellenist” (part 1, part 2, part 3).

Good stuff – go forth and read!

reminder: Zeus devotional still open

Just wanted to remind everyone that the Bibliotheca Alexandrina devotional volume for Zeus is still accepting submissions until the end of March; your words are still needed! (I’m hoping to have a submission in this one myself, if I can find the time and inspiration.)

There are also devotionals in the works for the Dioskouroi (Castor and Pollux) and for Pan that are open until July 1.

Details on all of these can be found here.

(And yes, I really am still working on this blog, I’ve just been overwhelmed this week… I hope to finish up this long post I’m working on tomorrow, if I can find ten minutes together!)

Old Gods, new connections

A handful of semi-related items today…

On not talking with the Gods

Note: this post grew out of a comment I made on Erl_queen’s LJ the other day.

I realized a long time ago that I am not going to fit into the mainstream of any religious community, even a Pagan one; as my wife puts it, we’re sort of the “fuzz on the end of the string on the fringe”, wherever we are.

A Hellenic blog I missed

The online Hellenismos community continues to grow! I came across another blog today, that shows potential – The Mirror Palace, by “Laria”.

Archeology and the Iliad

Wow, it’s been a long time since I posted anything meaningful…

Patron of the Internet?

I have long honored Hermes as my professional (IT) patron, and more generally as the patron of the Internet; some of His most common associations, as patron of commerce and of communication (and of thieves, let’s face it :) make this new one fairly obvious. However, I have recently had cause to rethink this a bit; not to minimize His importance, but to consider Another Who may have just claim to share these honors – Athena.

A song for Hades

Kula Shaker, “Shadowlands”. I’d listened to the song before without making the connection, but today I listened to it right after their track Persephone from the same album, and it absolutely hit me over the head – this is His love song to His Queen!

New devotional to Hekate released

Forwarded from Sannion:

I am very happy to announce the release of Bearing Torches: A devotional anthology for Hekate
