This blog may eventually move to Wordpress

You may see me at undertwotrees.wordpress.com until Google decides to improve Blogger. I've already got a few unmirrored updates there as we speak, and I may or may not mirror them here ever.

If you decide that I am still worth following, best you be updating your Google Readers (which is also going away #sniff) with my new address.

The ‘It’ Couple of Olympos

Tonight, as the light of silver-shining Selênê returns to the heavens, we leave the month of Poseideôn (Ποσειδεών) and enter the month of Gamêliôn (Γαμηλιών).

Hail Dionysos

Can anybody source this photo? I think it’s amazing. Wine, mask, leopard skin, snake… whoever made this, did his/her research.

"Oh, I am sorry, Frodo. I was delayed."

Because I totally was. By the long holiday off, by the Solstice, by Christmas, by the Poseidea, by the Calends of January, by the amount of work thrown at my face after the long week off, and by Gods, even by the Dionysia and Haloa. When they say this time is a busy time, they're not kidding. And we're not even done, yet. The first noumênia after the winter solstice is just around the corner.

But, behind all the busy-ness and holiday stress is great merriment and celebration, and a big opportunity to commune with the Gods. These times are not holy tides for nothing, and they have been so for hundreds of years.

Unfortunately, I'm not blogging about them today, as I have some cooking, and then, some sleeping to do. I will update, though, over the next few days, I promise. Also, I took pictures, and lots of them. I'll be sure to share them with you.

(PS: If you're wondering what Frodo or Gandalf has to do with this blog, not so much other than that I'm a huge Tolkien fan, and a pious cultor of LOTR (and soon, Hobbit) dvd-thons.)

À bien tôt!
