Talk about, Clove for Cassia

"My sister was more skilled than people know. She was so smart and capable of making a plan within seconds of learning a situation. She could figure out easily what someone's reasons were behind their actions and act accordingly. Her ability: Quick Thought. Isn't something you can see on the outside...but it's something she used often."

"I wish....I wish she could see me now. How far I've come with no one holding my hand. How much about myself I've learned.... I hope she's proud of me...whereever she is."

[crossed-worlds]

"We did. I never thought I'd ever get to see her again..." Well crud that meant she could go toss that tacky helmet that was still sitting up on a hill back in the Valley. Oh well. What mattered....was they were together again. "Come on....I'm about ready to crash myself."

Her legs were tingling still from keeping up a high speed for that long. She knew here kind were endurance runners but....that was a lot for her. Add on her condition and rest was a requirement for all three siblings. She joined her brother in the elevator and pressed the button so they could head up.

Hekate’s Deipnon

February 2024

Khaire Temple Guests, thank you for visiting us today!

Tonight is Hekate's Deipnon, and in honor of this we wanted to share some information about this Holy Day. Additionally, a post explaining how to submit and leave digital and e-offerings can be found here.

What is Hekate's Deipnon?

"... at its most basic, [Hekate's Deipnon is] a religious offering meal given to the Titan Hekate and the restless dead once a lunar month. Ancient Athenians held that once a lunar month, Hekate led the spirits... from the underworld up from Hades. It is also the last day of the month according to the lunisolar based Attic calendar used in ancient Athens. Where the time of the dark moon was seen as the in-between liminal time between months." - Wikipedia

Hekate's Deipnon takes place the day before Noumenia, on the night of what is referred to modern astrology as the 'New Moon'.

This Holy Day is regarded as a time for purification and cleaning before the start of the new lunar month, as well as a time to honor the dead and the underworld. Purification of the self and the home, as well as settling personal affairs from the previous month are all traditional; and considered to be auspicious activities to partake in on this night.

Why Hekate?

"Hekate (Hecate) was the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy." - Theoi.com

Depending on your sources, Hekate's name may come from the Greek hekatos meaning "worker from afar" - or it may come from the Greek ekate phosphoros meaning "bringer/giver of light”. In either case, Hekate is closely aligned with the veil between the overworld and the underworld - and is an incredibly liminal goddess. Her domains include magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy (source: Theoi.com).

With all of this in mind, it becomes clear as to why Hekate would be associated with the night before Noumenia, when the veil is thin and darkness is abound.

How to Celebrate Hekate's Deipnon?

As mentioned before, Hekate's Deipnon is a time for purification, cleansing, and honoring in the dead. If you are physically able, Hekate's Deipnon is a great time to cleanse either your home - or your ritual spaces. This is also a great time to, if you are physically able, take care of your body (i.e., showering, having a wash day for your hair, trimming finger and toe nails, etc.).

Outside of cleansing, it is traditional to place an offering of food on your altar/shrine during the day. Then, at night, you should place this food outside at a three way crossroad. This could be a literal crossroad on a path or road, or a liminal crossroad where water, air, and earth meet. Two examples of the later are 1: A rock or raised earth in a river or stream or 2: A bridge that crosses over some kind of body of water.

Traditional food offerings include:

Eggs (Raw or Hard Boiled)

Leeks / Onions

Garlic (Whole, Cloves, or Powder)

Incense

(source: hellion.org)

Some practitioners will alternatively or additionally set aside a plate during their evening meal with a portion of the food served. These offerings should also be placed at a crossroads.

Lastly, it is important to make sure that any promises, promised offerings, or oaths that you have made during the prior month are fulfilled before dawn. This will allow you to enter Noumenia with a clean slate.

We hope you have found this post informative and helpful, please feel free to direct any questions or inquiries to our AskBox and we will endeavor to answer all queries in a timely manner.

Eirene, peace and farewell.

Metis 

the goddess swallowed by Zeus; Both a threat and an indispensable aid; she is the content; both a deity and a cognitive faculty; she embodies the cunning, the wisdom; the matter and the mind; the material and the imaterial; Metis: the solution to every problem.

Metis literally: "wisdom", "skill", or "craft"

By the era of Greek philosophy in the 5th century BC, Metis had become the mother of wisdom and deep thought, but her name originally connoted "magical cunning" and was as easily equated with the trickster powers of Prometheus as with the "royal metis" of Zeus.[1] The Stoic commentators allegorised Metis as the embodiment of "prudence", "wisdom" or "wise counsel", in which form she was inherited by the Renaissance.

The Greek word metis meant a quality that combined wisdom and cunning. This quality was considered to be highly admirable, the hero Odysseus being the embodiment of it. In the Classical era, metis was regarded by Athenians as one of the notable characteristics of the Athenian character..

Metis was both a threat to Zeus and an indispensable aid.

Zeus lay with Metis but immediately feared the consequences. It had been prophesied that Metis would bear extremely powerful children: the first, Athena and the second, a son more powerful than Zeus himself, who would eventually overthrow Zeus.

In order to forestall these dire consequences, Zeus tricked her into turning herself into a fly and promptly swallowed her.[7] He was too late: Metis had already conceived a child. In time she began making a helmet and robe for her fetal daughter. The hammering as she made the helmet caused Zeus great pain, and Hephaestus either clove Zeus's head with an axe,[8] or hit it with a hammer at the river Triton, giving rise to Athena's birth. Athena leaped from Zeus's head, fully grown, armed, and armoured. Zeus was none the worse for this experience.

"I'm fine, just a bit dizzy...." She had her mask with her so it was better than it could have been. "Thank goodness I've been in the Valley all this time or I could be a lot worse....can't believe I forgot...."

She gently bumped her head against his for a moment. "You are incredible big brother....but by Chaos, I got scared back there seeing you holding those flames back..."

Why? Well...that memory was still hazy but more importantly.... she looked up when Sonic came out and nodded. Cybernetics were lighter than they sounded. "Thanks Sonic... Silver and I aren't in the best shape ourselves."

She looked at her sister who was out cold once again and she let out a sigh. "I....don't expect her to wake up again until tomorrow. They had her pumped full of sedatives to keep her confused and drowsy so she cant use her power. I doubt she even realized what just happened...."
