Delphic Maxmis #25: Find Fault in No One

This one is very hard to do, given that we live in a society that we can’t help but to find something wrong with someone. A fault! It could be anything from weight to not doing well in school no matter how hard that person tries. Finding fault is something that we gained over time, something that became part of our society. But deciding not to point out fault, means that you leave yourself unable to be attacked. It also keeps the person from feeling low about themselves.

Delphic Maxims #24: Praise the Good

Praise the good. What does that mean? Well, it means that when someone does good you praise them. You tell them that they’ve done good. When you do that then they are more likely to continue to do good. Not praising them makes them think that what their doing isn’t good enough and that’s never a good thing.

Delphic Maxims #23: Long for Wisdom

I believe that this has a connection with books and knowledge. Long for wisdom means always wanting to know things and longing to know them. To never settle with knowing a bit of wisdom and understanding, but wanting to learn more wisdom and gain a better understanding. I think that’s what missing in our lives, wisdom.

Delphic Maxims #22: Pursue Honor

Honor! This is a concept that most Americans don’t get or understand. Honor is something that’s only found in the military. So this is one that even I’m having a hard time figuring out. I think that it means that you seek honor, pursue it like you would if you were hunting something. I don’t know if I’m write but I think that I can learn given time.

Delphic Maxims #21: Cling to Discipline

So it’s time for another Maxims. This one is Cling to Discipline. Now this is one that can confuse someone that doesn’t understand the concept of discipline. Discipline in ancient times was the most important thing that a man could do. Clinging to it, meant that you didn’t turn your back on the battle and run away. Clinging to discipline also means not giving up when things get hard. Discipline yourself and cling to what you’ve worked hard to do.

Hellenic Holiday: Theseia and Oskhophoria (2017)

When the sun goes down these two holiday's appear. Theseia is linked with Theseus and Oskhophoria is linked with Dionysus. I hope that you all have a good one.

Hellenic Holiday: Puanepsia (2017)

When the sun goes down I will be doing this festival, which honors Apollon. Yesterday's ritual was great and I loved honoring both Artemis and Demeter. I blended both rituals together to honor them. I hope that you all have a good one and here's some info about the day.

Pyanopsia, also spelled Pyanepsia, in ancient Greek religion, a festival in honour of Apollo, held at Athens on the seventh day of the month of Pyanopsion (October). The festival’s rites incorporated remnants of rustic magic, including two offerings, consisting of a hodgepodge of pulse (edible seeds) and a branch of olive or laurel bound with wool, around which were hung fruits of the season, pastries, and small jars of honey, oil, and wine. The offerings were carried to the Temple of Apollo, where they were suspended on the gate. The doors of private houses were similarly adorned. Both offerings have been connected with the Cretan expedition of Theseus, who vowed a thank offering to Apollo if he were successful in slaying the Minotaur.
