#but when i pray or make offerings i always say polydegmon and praxidike/kore (depending on the season) for hades and persephone

noumenia?

its a monthly holiday/celebration for the new moon!! technically its 3 days! deipnon on the last sliver of the moon, noumenia on the first day of the new moon, and agathos daimon the day after

on deipnon you make an offering dinner for hekate (and in theory place it at a crossroads but a lot of modern worshippers if they observe deipnon at all offer it at their usual altar/shrine) and purify the house which for me usually just means cleaning my room rip

observances of noumenia vary a fair bit from what ive seen but in general you set the pace for what u want to do that month so like.. in theory if you’re productive on noumenia and start new projects and make offerings, the next month will be fruitful and productive as well! its also a good time to make plans for any other offerings, rituals, or holidays for the month!

and agathos daimon i am not super familiar with bc i only just started observing deipnon and noumenia a few months ago but the gist is its to honor your agathos daimon or the spirit of your house! so you make offerings to the agathos daimon and for some people you would also include ancestor veneration on this day
