Happy Theogamia! 🦚💍⚡️

To those who celebrate, I hope you all have a wonderful day filled with love! Just as all of Olympus did with King Zeus and Queen Hera’s 300 year wedding!

I couldn’t do much this year, but I did manage to make this quick drawing for the blessed rulers of Olympus and write a little hymn for this divine anniversary <3

Hymn for Theogamia

Rejoice in love of Hera! Rejoice in the love of Zeus! Rejoice in the love that their union created!

Blessed Hera Gamêlia, ruler of marriage, seek joy in your own domain on this day. From Hera Pais, the girl and the maiden; to Hera Nympheuomene, a betrothed bride!

Blessed Zeus Teleios, of marriage rites, know how joyous this celebration is! Blessed Zeus Xenios, of strangers and hospitality, may we all join hands and sing of this wonderful day together, feasting, laughing, and dancing with friends and strangers alike!

Oh, gracious rulers of Olympus, King Zeus who delights in thunder, and ox-eyed Queen Hera; join us mortals in celebrating your eternal union - giving love and plenty to us all!

Blessed Theogamia!

Today I'm celebrating the sacred love and marriage of Zeus Teleios & Hera Teleia.

“With that the son of Cronus caught his wife in his arms and under them now the holy earth burst with fresh green grass, crocus and hyacinth, clover soaked with dew, so thick and soft it lifted their bodies off the hard, packed ground… Folded deep in that bed they lay and round them wrapped a marvelous cloud of gold, and glistening showers of dew rained down around them both.  And so, deep in peace, the Father slept on Gargaron peak, conquered by Sleep and strong assaults of Love, his wife locked in his arms.”

—Iliad, 14.413-421, translated by Robert Fagles

In my 4 years of worship, I have implemented many Ancient Greek festivals into my everyday life.

If you were to ask 5 year old me, what her favourite day of the year was, she’d probably say Christmas (mostly for the presents, duh. But also for the warm, fuzzy feeling it gave me)

But, since choosing these sacred days myself, celebrating them knowingly and intentionally, my most beloved one is Theogamia. It is just so full of love. It fills me with immense sense of peace and hope.

It celebrates such a divine act, but it’s one so close to us, humans, as well, and I think, that is what makes it so special in my heart.

So, I think 5 year old me would be disappointed, that my most special day does not include presents anymore, but she’d be so, so happy that the warm, fuzzy feeling stayed.

Blessed Theogamia to you all. 🤍🦚⚡️

Theogamia.

I’m celebrating Theogamia today, and it’s been lovely. I offered King Zeus and Queen Hera, rose petals and a few treats. I plan to offer a bit more later.

To all those who have celebrated or are celebrating today, I hope it’s enjoyable for you. 💗

Glory to King Zeus, Queen Hera, and their sacred and holy marriage.

[sagegreenfrogs]

Blessed Theogamia! I'm currently in the "broom closet" (although i'm not a witch) so I wasn't able to do much. I cooked dinner for my parents and went on a walk to appreciate Zeus's gifts (the sky was perfectly clear!) and read some hymns to Zeus and Hera, (Homeric and Orphic,) to celebrate :)

[pagansprite]

Happy Theogamia !!

what once began on fluttering cuckoo's wings, has grown and bloomed into fragrant flowers, and brought forth golden fruit. Teleios and Teleia, in clear skies and cloudy, you are Together. you are paired, and reflected, and matched. you are equals, you are King and Queen, and consort each. your love and your vows are as eternal as your immortal lives, and both love and vows are exchanged and renewed between you, again and again. your love grows stronger, its roots digging deeper each year. and each year, the blossoms grow lovelier.

i celebrated today bc of work schedule. i made a nice breakfast for my spouse and i, and offered some to Them. now i'm gonna go spend the rest of the day with my beloved spouse <3

Happy Theogamia 💐

Today I'm celebrating the sacred marriage, hieros gamos, of King Zeus & Queen Hera. May their anniversary bring blessings to all of us.

Invoked as: Zeus Teleios & Zeus Herkeios and Hera Teleia & Hera Oikos.

The libation was water. The offering in the center is a bouquet of heart and flower shaped gummies my mother gave me. I didn't have the energy to offer the incense, but even just the stick smells nice.

[blooxxy]

Blessed Theogamia to everyone!

Praised be Lady Hera and Lord Zeus,Queen and King of the Gods!
