After celebrating Thargelia on Filopappou Hill, the Labrys Worship Community discovered their altar vandalized with Christian graffiti—an act they call religiously motivated, highlighting ongoing tensions between Greek Orthodox dominance and modern polytheist worship.

May 24 (c. 1300 BCE)
Around this date, the Thargelia festival honouring Artemis and Apollo would kick off.
What makes it queer?
Apollo had lovers of all genders, we could describe him as pan. Artemis was at the other end of the spectrum, with a possible ace/aro interpretation.

Hail Apollo, our golden god! May he drive out all plague & famine! Give your woes to the scapegoat to carry away so you can feel lighter. Hail to Demeter of the green shoots! Hail the crow and swallow!

Happy Thargelia!

5. Prairial honoring the Duck, Whitsun/Pentecost*, Thargelia*, Decoration Day*

Herb: Mayweed • Matricaria chamomilla

Card: Midnight Magic • XIII Death • Destroying Angel • Amanita bisporigera - transformation, transition, letting go
Notebook: Chronicle Go-To w/ Mohawk paper, dotted & Col-o-ring swatch booklet Fountain Pen: Lamy AL-star - aluminum, EF Ink: Diamine Night Sky Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at top of the page with additional text: “Angelica J.T. Lowery, a former pastor and ‘roundabout member’ at Old Liberty, misses when Decoration Day meant keeping company with headstones during dinner on the ground. ‘We’re spoiled by air conditioning now,’ he says. Moving festivities inside, ‘it’s a little more sanitary than it is outside.’ Outside is where Opal Flannigan remembers riding up in her parents’ wagon as a little girl. She drove here from Florence to honor her mother, father, and great-nephew, whose headstones she sat among in a chair with the comfort of a concert goer or movie watcher. She is in her 80s, and she has come to this cemetery each spring since she was 3 weeks old. Even when she and her husband lived in Michigan for 13 years, they came home for Decoration Day. As a child, Flannigan walked the perimeter of the cemetery this day ringing handbells. ‘At the end, we had prayer,’ she says. Back then, Decoration Day required meticulous, ritual-like preparation. Her family ate fried chicken and vegetables on the grounds of the cemetery on starched white, embroidered tablecloths.’ — Jennifer Crossley Howard, “Grave Concerns,” The Bitter Southerner, undated. Below the text is a card with an illustration of the white destroying angel mushroom on a black background; an aluminum fountain pen with a black loop clip; a swatch of black ink with silver shimmer; and sample vial of same.

Happy Thargelion!
The Noumenia will be April 28/29 depending on your timezone. I have versions for both West and East coast now! The theme for this month is cleaning and purging to make way for future blessings.

What do you want to release right now?

May 4-5: Thargelia (6-7 Thargelion). A purifying & supplication festival for Apollo & Demeter Kloe (of the green shoots; referring to the first of the grain harvest). Day 1: "Out with the bad" - scapegoats absorb the city's miasma and are expelled, taking the miasma with them. Kids go door-to-door asking for first-fruits offerings to hang on the olive boughs carried to the temple. Day 2: "In with the good" - First-fruits of beans and grains were boiled or baked into stew or bread and carried in procession to the temple. Many choir contests were held in honor of the god. May 17: Bendideia (19 Thargelion). An imported festival for the Thracian hunting goddess, Bendis (Artemis to the Athenians), with a combo horse-riding and torch race. Thracian women offered wheat to the goddess. May 23-24: Plynteria / Washing Rites (25-26 Thargelion). Athena's temple is closed for the duration of her two festivals, and the key to her temple given to the local tribe in charge of her rites. Day 1: The peplos from Athena's icon was taken to the sea and washed it (it was the size of a ship's sail). Day 2: The icon would be veiled and escorted to the sea by the military for washing in grand procession with figs and sweetmeats. The icon would stay at a local shrine overnight. May 26: Kallynteria / Adorning Rites (28 Thargelion). After a full day at the temple by the sea, the icon would be escorted home at sundown by torchlight and a big celebration held outside her temple all night upon arrival. In the morning the temple was cleaned, the sacred lamp relit, and the Athena's icon restored with her freshly laundered peplos. May 2-3: Thargelia (6-7 Thargelion).

4. Prairial honoring Angelica, Vulcanalia, St Esther, Eris Day, Tubilustrium, Thargelia, Samuel Sharpe d1832, Franz Mesmer b1734
Herb: Balm of Gilead • Amyris gileadensis
Card: Magickal Botanical - 1. Angel’s Trumpet • Brugmansia suaveolens - what are you not hearing
Notebook: Chronicle Go-To w/ Mohawk paper, dotted & Col-o-ring swatch booklet Fountain Pen: ystudio resin - red, F Ink: Kyo no oto adzukiiro Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at top of the page with additional text: “Angelica archangelica (angelica) is a huge hardy biennial that in good conditions can reach 2.5m (8ft) tall. It has stout, hollow stems, long-stalked, bright green, deeply divided leaves, and rounded umbels of tiny yellow-green flowers in late spring and early summer. After flowering, countless flat, oval seeds are formed that in the wild result in imposing colonies. All parts are aromatic and have a liquorice-like taste. Angelica is native to north-east Europe and central Asia, where it grows in damp meadows and beside rivers. Chinese angelica, dang gui or dong quai (A. polymorpha var. sinensis) is a hardy perennial and smaller, reaching 1.2m (4ft), with ferny, dull green leaves and flattish umbels of off-white flowers. Angelica was introduced to Britain from Scandinavia in the sixteenth century and in Parkinson’s herbal (Paradisi in Sole, 1629) is rated the most important of all medicinal herbs. In earlier times it was regarded as a potent charm against evil spirits, and its extraordinarily beautiful name is connected with a story that its power, especially as an antidote to plague, was revealed to a humble monk by St Michael the Archangel.” — Demi Brown, Herbal, Chelsea Physick Garden, 2001. Below the text is a card with a line drawing of a brugmansia as a female figure in a graveyard with two devils fleeing its voice; a dark red fountain pen; a swatch of red bean colored ink; and rounded rectangular bottle of same.
