• A song for Hades

  
  Executive Pagan — Authority: 112
  Kula Shaker, “Shadowlands”. I’d listened to the song before without making the connection, but today I listened to it right after their track Persephone from the same album, and it absolutely hit me over the head – this is His love song to His Queen! It’s so incredibly moving to listen to in that ...

• Date in history

  
  Journey to Perplexity — Authority: 120
  Today is the first night of Hanukkah, that minor historical commemoration that American Jews have transformed into a non-Christian Xmas, just to get into the holiday spirit.  David Brooks, the muddle-headed conservative columnist I used to love to hate (I stopped reading him, so now I don’t care what he writes.) ...

• A Shrine for the Charites and Eumenides

  
  KALLISTI: An Apple in Pandemonium — Authority: 111
  A few weeks ago, I made a post about creating a small shrine to the Charites and the Eumenides. This is my first shrine that exists separately from my main one (which is in major need of organization — too many images). I wanted something very simple and clean for this shrine. I laid a board over the top of a new ...

  Forwarded from Sannion : I am very happy to announce the release of Bearing Torches: A devotional anthology for Hekate , which will be my final book for Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

• Orphic club music

  
  Executive Pagan — Authority: 112
  As I was poking around looking for an archive of the (now apparently lost) GeoCities page with Athanassakis’ translation of the Orphic Hymns, I came across the site of a Greek band called Eleusis (they’re also on Myspace ) – whose album, Tales of the Holy, is mostly settings of snippets of various Orphic ...

  AOI Observer — Authority: 428
  From the chapter on “Liturgy and Theology and Byzantine Culture” in The Formation of Christendom by Christopher Dawson (Sheed & Ward, 1967):The essential achievement of the patristic age was the synthesis of Eastern religion and Western culture, or, to be more precise, the uniting of the spiritual traditions ...

• Captivated by Fury

  
  KALLISTI: An Apple in Pandemonium — Authority: 111
  I’m working through Kerényi’s Gods of the Greeks right now during my daily commute. The powerful narrative is an amazing window into the connections among our Theoi. The trinities of goddesses Kerényi illuminates are amazing, and a perfect research opportunity for me to work these powerful divinities into my ...

• Athens v. Sparta

  
  Executive Pagan — Authority: 112
  This is a remarkable recording – in about an hour, Charlie Roadman and friends give a reasonably comprehensive overview of the Peloponnesian War, with a decent soundtrack even. Selected text from Thucydides and Xenophon is narrated, and there are a handful of brief sung lyrics by Roadman that give other ...
