I’ve decided I’m going to use modern holidays as a template for celebrating the holidays in my religion. I’m having a hard time with all of the holidays in Hellenic Polytheism, and since I am not strict on being exactly as they did in ancient times, (I cant think of the word) I feel like this would be a great way to do things 🙂

New Year’s Day– Offerings to Zeus, Hera, and possibly Dionysus
Valentine’s Day– Offerings to Aphrodite, Hera, and Persephone
First day of Spring – Offerings to Pan, Persephone, and nature spirits
