Delphinia

~ 6 (or 7) Mounykhion ~

Celebrating Apollon and Aretmis, Delphinia kicked off with unmarried girls proceeding to their shrine/temple on the bank of the Ilissos River.

Girls carried branches of olive wrapped in white wool in honor to Apollon. Delphinia is thought to be in dedication to Apollon as a god who controlled the sea and fair travel as Theseus had prayed to him for his fallen companions before he set sail.

While in mythos Theseus is connected to Apollon it is more likely that this day was in celebration to his twin, Artemis, as it falls on her holy day. In this sense, the women asked for Artemis' protection and favor. Similarly, maidens were associated with Artemis, not Apollon.

Modern Hellenist can observe this day by celebrating both the Twins, though I recommend separate. An unmarried women might wish to offer to Artemis for protection and Apollon for fair travels. Men and non-binary people might wish to offer to Artemis for thanks for the protection of women, good hunting, travel at night, or anything else and Apollon for fair travel. You may also wish to thank the Twins for anything they might have done recently for you, or simply offering in thanks to build Kharis.

Traditional Offerings:

Offering of Olive branches in white wool (or yarn/ribbon)

Symbols of Artemis (deer, bows, arrows, antlers, the moon)

Symbols of Apollon (the sun, chariots, bows, arrows, lyre, poetry)

Traditional Acts

Offerings to Artemis and Apollon as Twins

Offerings to Artemis as the protector of unmarried women and young girls

Offerings to Apollon for fair travel

Singing Hymns to the Twins

Khaire Artemis! Khaire Apollon! 🌘🏹☀️

Mounykhia

~ 16 Mounykhion ~

The festival of the month's name, Mounykhia celebrates Artemis of Mounykhia (a steep hill near the Athenian port of Peiraios) This festival rose to popularity when Peiraios became an established naval base port as Artemis had a sanctuary up on the mountain slope.

Two aspects of Artemis were celebrated this day; Artemis of the Beasts and Artemis of the Moon. For the Beasts, traditionally, a she-goat was sacrificed in honor of the man who refused to sacrifice his daughter. An Oracle had declared a sacrifice of a young girl so the Goddess would forgive the people for slaying a she-bear who entered her shrine. The man agreed and instead sacrificed a she-goat. He was prized the honor of being a priest of Artemis.

The second aspect was a libation at moonlight in honor of Her Moon epithet. Amphiphontes were offered as well, a small round cake with candles lit in a circle upon it. However, the name of the cake doubles as the meaning "Shining by double light" suggesting the offering might have taken place at dusk with the sun and moon both out in honor for both of Artemis' epithets.

Similarly to Delphinia, this festival had taken place at the port of Peiraios, ending in water races. Different than the previous festival, Artemis of the Beasts had been celebrated nearer to the coast of Athens at Brauronia. This might have been related to a different festival celebrated in Brauronia where young girls seen a the she-bears dressed in saffron chitons and danced with crowns and torches/twigs.

Though in ancient times a she-goat was sacrificed modern Hellenes might offer Amphiphontes and palm leaves as the palm is sacred to Artemis, pour libation at dusk, and observe full moon rituals to the Goddess as the festival took place on the full moon.

Traditional Offerings:

Amphiphontes with daida (candles in a circle)

Palm leaves

Pictures of Artemis

Moon water

Incense of Artemis' favorite scents

Libations

Traditional Acts:

Offerings and libations

Dancing

Racing in water

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

It keeps getting worse

If they don’t respond to this TOMORROW they will have eviscerated all the goodwill and love their fans had for them. They should have done it hours ago. Going forward, they either need to consult a professional business manager after this astronomically stupid decision or Steven needs to step down and let someone more competent run the company. No one is paying for another streaming service.

things they could have done:

stressed engagement more (like, comment, share, subscribe, etc.)

promoted their patreon more – there are people in the comments shocked to find out they even had one

youtube memberships (with exclusive emojis!)

given patrons/youtube members exclusive behind-the-scenes videos and/or early release videos

joined nebula & given nebula members exclusive behind-the-scenes videos and/or early release videos

streamed horror games on youtube/streamed horror games on twitch & uploaded the VODs on youtube

decreased the production value & staff required to create videos

any or all of the above

not this

literally anything but this

THIS TEMPLE IS ANTI TERF/RADFEM/GENDER CRITICAL

There is a large TERF issue in hellenism communities, I'm not sure why considering how pro trans hellenism is, but I do want to say that no TERFS are welcome to The Temple of Hypnos. You're telling me Hypnos would support people who deny others their dreams? Hypnos would support terfs who bring harm and stress to trans people like me? Don't make me laugh. You're an insult to all hellenics, may you never rest and may you never dream

[enbeeanon]

Transfem to Transmasc solitary must exist as much as any trans solidarity must exist.

Protect my boys.

[enbeeanon]

Graveyard Etiquette🪦

Before you go protect yourself you don't want a spirit attached to you.

Bring coins as offerings to the gatekeepers.

Bring with you offering for the spirits (food, water, flowers ect...) and leave it by a tree or away from the headstones for the spirits.

Make sure you don't step on anyone and apologiz if you do by accident.

Clean up neglected tombstones.

Ask before you take dirt. Use your intuition or divination to get a response.

Don’t take anything that is left for the dead.

Don't leave trash behind and if you find trash clean it.

Leave the way you came.

Why are allistics like this I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN (not op, the character in pink)

Why is insincere modesty and fake generosity polite? If you turn something down don't get upset when someone else takes it.
