Tonight, at sundown, is the beginning of the Athenian Month of Elaphebolion. We are close to the end of the Athenian year and I'm looking forward to getting the year over so that the new year can begin. Tonight we honor the household gods. How I do that is I have a Di Immortales candle that has all the gods and goddess on it. This helps to keep my shrine small and not cluttered.
I really hate cluttered shrines.
Yesterday's ritual to Helios and Hecate was awesome and I'm glad that I was able to take part in it. Sometimes it's hard to practice when you have a Christian mother. Another reason that I do this ritual is so that the household gods will get their due and their offering. One of the things that I burn tonight and tomorrow is Kyphi. Now I know that this isn't an Egyptian incense but the Greeks encountered it and it was used in Hellenized temples.
So it's something that I feel is good for tonight and tomorrow's rituals. I do hope that you have a good one and may the gods bless you.
