Telchinion through Daphneion 2023/2024

Telchinion (XII) – Oct. 15 – Nov. 13, 2023

(M) Mu, (Z) Zeta, (E) Eta

In Telchinion, if you thought the way was easy, or that it was a time to wind down, thinking that the trials were behind you, now you must rethink that assessment. There is much work to be done, some of it tedious, but all of it necessary. This is the work that shapes you, as in individual, and helps to pave the way for the future of many, not only those in your direct care. Take your role seriously, and the seriousness of your actions will reveal what is known to the Gods. In doing this work, be not distracted by what is loud or combative. It is best to keep distance between yourself and a raging storm. Doing otherwise risks you being pulled into traumas that are not your own to process. Do what you know is correct, and the course before you shall remain clear. That which seeks only to destroy what it has not itself built, will be done in by the very forces it seeks to wield, in bad faith. Walk forward, and look only ahead toward the clearing that Helios’ rays have opened for you.

Hyperboraios (XIII) – Nov. 14 – Dec. 12, 2023

(O) Omicron, (M) Mu, (Γ) Gamma

In Hyperboraios, remember that what you put forth is what will return. All that you do and work toward, whether it be for a greater good, or for an aim bordering upon transgression, is known among the Immortal Gods, and They will arrive to set the balance. Let this be a warning against the chattering of idleness, and against more sinister ills. You are better to set your thoughts and actions toward neutrality, or nobility. Be the person that resides within– just and of good character. Be true to your inward desires, and let not the base judgments of intrusive onlookers dictate your actions, or reactions. This too, is necessary work. So long as you remain on the path that is true to your heart and soul, there are no obstacles that can deter you. And for your steadfast awareness, Gaea shall bestow a bountiful harvest.

Perihelios (I) Dec. 13 – Jan. 11, 2023/2024

(Ω) Omega, (Φ) Phi, (T) Tau

Be aware that during Perihelios, as the New Year begins, there will come several unsavory pathways, branching onto dividing lines of succession. None of these will be ideal, and there is no option to abstain. Sometimes life is not fair, and making the best of bad situations means accepting the concequences of our actions. There will be setbacks, drawbacks, and grasping too early the ends once hoped for. They will not be as imagined, yet they must be taken as they are. It will be all too easy to attempt assigning blame to luck, or to chance, but the truth is, that no matter the hand chance deals, all the decisions from that point on, are your own. Do not blame others for what can readily be explained by your choices, even if uninformed– especially if uninformed. Accept reality, and move forward with care. The aftermath of this trial may be even more difficult to cope with, as you will likely find yourself at a crossroads. Will you cleave to inclusion that no longer supports you, leaving yourself open to being culled from a group of no longer like-mind? Or will you sever ties yourself, that have outgrown their usefulness to all parties, thus taking control of your fate, and opening the eyes of others involved? In either scenario, there will be an ending of association.

Prostaterias (II) Jan. 12 – Feb. 9, 2024

(Δ) Delta (Η) Eta, (Φ) Phi

For Prostaterias, the reminder is that power corrupts. Those in positions of power should take heed in this month. Do not aim your sword at the weak, or marginalized. Do not lord over your constituents haughtily. Do not take or co-opt of the labors of others, and do not needlessly bellow your supposed superiority. All these are paths to ruin, and the fall from so far a height is bound to be cataclysmic. Those who disdain this warning from the Deathless Gods shall not achieve the aims they so recklessly pursue. There will be no quarter given when the balance comes due. You are seen. Your actions, and indeed your deepest heart-truths, are recorded. Helios will strip away the outer beauty– the facade– and the underlying rot will be revealed. And after this is done, in the contemptuous tirade of one relieved of their power by the Light of Truth, the one so relieved, will curse the uncurseable, thus sealing themselves within a cycle of hubris– for they will refuse to see how they brought this end upon themselves. Be not like them, but like unto the Gods, and seek Truth, even when it reveals you disfavorably, and when it discomforts your curated image.

Daphneion (III) Feb. 10 – Mar. 10, 2024

(T) Tau, (H) Eta, (Π) Pi

Daphneion declares that you have outgrown a comfortable and familiar space. Whether this space exists within you, or without, is yours to discover. It is now time to act, and to move in ways that will promote the growth of your ideals or worldview. Stagnancy is anathema to what Apollon represents. We who are beloved of Him, must at all times challenge our notions of comfort, and be ready to pull away from long-loved conveniences if they no longer serve our higher purpose; or to embrace new and difficult pursuits if those are what are needed in the present time. You must bathe within the Light, and let it wash away the shadows of past desires. You must be seen. When all this is accomplished, you will begin to understand what gears needed turning to lead you in the current direction. And this direction is where you need to be, in order to claim the prize of an opened and enlightened mind, upon a journey of self-discovery. You have left your previous self behind, and have come to know yourself, presently. Be present.

[Aegletia, Day 7, 2023]

Like Unto the Sun

Hail to Apollon, who is like unto the sun; bright and intense with warmth; the Lord who reveals Yourself within the space of our shadows, to show that You know– and love– us all!

There are no faults You do not witness, no details too shocking or shameful to accept, in our imperfect completion!

Yes, like unto the sun, You are; commanding our orbit, enticing and empowering; catalyzing and alchemizing; all-knowing, all-seeing– the Prince who defends the right of all beings to determine their fate, and who preforms the Will of Great Zeus!

Nothing is forbidden, all is permitted, in the expression of our adoration for You!

Hail to Apollon, who, like unto the sun, rises and sets upon the earth; You of the waning twilight, who passes forth into realms unknowable, and whom we endeavor to delight in this time of bittersweet farewells– the King of Hyperborea, who challenges us to face the world as Yours, even while distant as the summer rains!

You will refrain from no lesson, with the power and intent to demonstrate what strength we have gained!

To prepare for Your absence, we compose our praises, and regale You of our tenderness; in reciprocity we give in kind what has been given, and Your ethos we absorb into our very pores– for You are like unto the sun; and we, Your satellites, are bound in the wake of Your Love!

— Columbine, Aegletia, Day 7, 2022

Day 7

*Celebration of the Fellowship of the Treasury of Apollon as extensions of our Prince’s mortal family, as well as a safe community for His brides and devotees.

**Proclamations of love; poetry, ecstatic ritual and prayer, and oracular trance are all encouraged on this day.

***Child-friendly, and family oriented celebrations are also advised for those to whom it applies.

Telchinion through Daphneion 2022/2023

Telchinion (XII) – Oct. 26 – Nov. 23, 2022

(Σ) Sigma, (Ψ) Psi, (Ξ) Xi

For those who have wandered, look no more toward the distant lands; your place is here, among the others awaiting the bright awakening. To be among truly like minds is a blessing seldom bestowed twice in a single lifetime. You all were brought here for this moment; to be of help and support to one another during the trials to come. It is rare for humans to thrive in solitude, and rarer still for them not to long for the touch of a hand, or the caress of another’s breath in companionship or debate. Know that a shared life will not always be easy; it will challenge as well as inspire– but the easy life seldom affords the potential to grow and nurture that life together, with one’s chosen family. And remember, you will only receive the care and understanding that you are willing to invest. Make your relationships a priority, and wealth of many kinds will be your reward.

Hyperboraios (XIII) – Nov. 24 – Dec. 23, 2022

(Λ) Lambda, (Β) Beta, (Δ) Delta

Sometimes, the blessings that are needed come not in the form we would want or expect, but instead are brought about by the abrupt, and the initially unwelcome. This is a sign to watch for the blight which holds within the promise of new life. You could choose to avoid it, but in doing so you risk its true intent being passed on to another, when its possibilities could have strengthened your bonds, or fertilized your lands. Whichever choice you make, know that the outcome in entirely yours to own. This chance was already given by the Gods, and it is yours to cultivate or discard. Along with this opportunity, one should also consider the old way versus the new: will adhering to the norms that have afforded peace and stability in times less drastic than these truly be as helpful as you could expect in the old world; or are the new ways the necessities that are needed now? Consider and reflect.

Perihelios (I) Dec. 24 – Jan. 21, 2022/2023

(Ο) Omicron, (Ι) Iota, (Ζ) Zeta

Remember that the effects of your actions will never be limited only to those whom you wished to effect; you are not immune to you own machinations. All that is done has an outcome that can not always be foreseen by mortal eyes. Neither is it the responsibility of the Gods to warn us of all the dangers we might set lose upon ourselves and others. The other side to this knowledge, is that through carefully attending to the motions we place, we might be able to nurture a positive outcome– but only if we remain diligent. This means we must continually monitor our designs, so they are in accord with what is necessary, not only what is desired. And there are times when the necessary includes retreat, for we can not be expected to foresee or affect only positive outcomes; or to wage wars beyond our capabilities in the aftermath.

Prostaterias (II) Jan. 22 – Feb. 20, 2023

(Θ) Theta, (Η) Eta, (Υ) Upsilon

For those with misgivings regarding the path you have chosen to walk, know that the Gods see and acknowledge you. Your struggle has not gone unnoticed, nor will it be ignored. Continue as you have, so long as you respect the sovereignty of those who walk in tandem with you; all spirits and like-minded humans who share your vision, and work to make it true and accessible to all. If at any point it becomes difficult to keep one’s own ego or desires in check, be not afraid to come to the Gods with these revelations. It is when we seek to keep hidden the desires of our hearts that we become most vulnerable to them. But even if you would choose this hidden pathway, know that the Gods see all within you, and have made ready a plan to set you upon a more equal path. It is perhaps best that you seek Their counsel before They seek to remind you of the truth. If you keep to the right, and do not allow yourself to stray upon the path of pure ego, it is possible to create, or be the catalyst to the creation of, something truly beautiful, in all the Divine sense of the word; but one must resist becoming one’s own obstacle in this endeavor.

Daphneion (III) Feb. 21 – Mar. 21, 2023

(Σ) Sigma, (Κ) Kappa, (Ε) Epsilon

You may be tempted to make brash actions, or quick decisions in a matter of high importance at this time, but be warned– acting without taking the correct considerations may lead not to the conclusion that you would prefer, but instead to one that is entirely out of your hands. Sometimes we find ourselves pushed in ways and directions that are anathema to our own ways of doing things. Sometimes we are backed into corners purposefully, and with malicious intent. That is why we must always try to be aware of all that hinges upon our decisions. We will never be the only ones affected, so it is imperative that we decide, always in good faith, and with respect to the responsibilities of our positions. And there will be times when there is little we can do but endure; to save the most of what we’ve worked to achieve, sometimes it is better to let the poison run its course. It will be exposed before the end, and we will be made stronger in its wake. Afterward, all that should be done is to remain as we have always been, and to watch as the perpetrator of harm is relinquished of authority, and made low in the eyes of those they sought to manipulate.

[Aegletia, Day 7, 2022]

Aegletia, Solo: Fellowship

Hands clasped in comfort. Royalty free image, found via Google.

In previous years, the focus of the Treasury’s Aegletia articles has mainly been about how to celebrate within a group dynamic, or family unit. But not every worshipper is aligned within such a dynamic. In order to have this addressed, this year, Apollon called me to contribute insights and suggestions on how one might do so with only onself, and the Gods. That is why this year’s series is titled: Aegletia, Solo.

It hasn’t been particularly difficult to adapt the Illuminations, with a sigular celebrant in mind. There have been years when I myself was effectively alone in celebration. With a teenager and a very young child, I can not always entice or persuade them to participate very much. So, I know what it is to enjoy this festival with just my Gods to keep me company.

But today is the Seventh Illumination; Fellowship. How can one who may be without any kind of fellowship, even children, partake of this day’s themes in an authentic and participatory way? Well, it’s quite easy, actually. All we have to do is remember, that though we may be separate from one another, we are in fact, not alone in our celebrations.

You, in your home or other prepared space, and I, in mine, are very much experiencing the Aegletia in tandem. There are individuals all around the Earth, each making their own contributions to Apollon’s festival, each in loving communion with our Lord, His Sibling and Mother– and also with us. We are not alone, and it has been this way from the very beginning.

Before the festival was given the name Aegletia, before even the foundation of the Treasury itself, in that very first year of celebration in 2011, I did not do so alone. Certainly, I was the only celebrant in my household, but at least one other person also marked the occasion of nine days, in the seclusion of their own home. I know this to be a certainty. Fellowship has been a part of this celebration since its very inception.

So, if you find yourself hesitating on the day of the Seventh Illumination, know this: we are here with you. We are links intertwined; a chain that reaches back for a decade— because this, my darlings, is the tenth Aegletia. For ten years we have reached out, together, to Apollon, our Lord, Prince, and King. For ten years, He has accompanied us in our fervor. This celebration was established to bring together those who would honor Him at the turning of the seasons toward winter, when after joining us to accept our loving farewells, Apollon would continue on to Hyperborea. And together, we have bid Him many fond farewells.

This is the tenth. It will not be the last. Take heart in the knowing of the many who have come before you, those who remain, and those yet to come. All of us together form Apollon’s Treasury. You, I, my Sisters– and all the masses of individuals from all over the world. We are His gift to one another, and we will hold each other up in Fellowship– today, tomorrow, this year, and for so many years to come.

Blessed is the Treasury of Apollon, both outer and inner circles, beloved of our Lord; and Blessed is the Bright One, Himself, for whom we each have burned, and will burn again!

Hail Apollon! Hail Artemis! Hail Leto!

Khaire! (or, Blessed Be!)

Oracular Forecast – Telchinion through Daphneion 2021/2022

Nest of yellowjackets on a fence, by Enrique Vidal Flores.

Telchinion through Daphneion 2021/2022

Telchinion (XII) – Nov. 5 – Dec. 4, 2021

(B) Beta, (Γ) Gamma, (A) Alpha

We are not alone– never alone, when Apollon is at the forefront of our minds, and actions. Be quick to defend what is right, and we will always reap justice, in the fields of injustice. We, who do not hesitate to act in right judgement, will gain success beyond our most detailed imaginings, and our voices will not falter, nor fail to rise up, in the sea of lies. Apollon is at our back, always, when we live in accord with His principles, and example. We accomplish so much, when we fear not to stand within the Truth.

Hyperboraios (XIII) – Dec. 5 – Jan. 2, 2021/2022

(Φ) Phi, (A) Alpha, (Z) Zeta

It is easy to overlook problems far out on the horizon. We may not wish to deal with what we know is coming, yet for all our avoidance, we will only reap the danger that may not be escaped. Do not pretend that you do not see it, for it will not disappear simply because you do not wish to confront it. And if we find ourselves in worse circumstances, it will not be because we were not warned. So long as we utilized the tools given to us by the Gods, and do not shirk the responsibility to defend ourselves when trouble brews, we shall win in all conflict. However, we must also accept when flight is necessary– not putting ourselves in the path of affliction is oftentimes a better course of action than having to stay and fight a battle we might not dominate.

Perihelios (I) Jan. 3 – Feb. 1, 2022

(Σ) Sigma, (Δ) Delta, (M) Mu

Do not back down. You will not be bulldozed over by any assailant, so why would you allow them to believe, even for one second, that they will drive you out of your own house? You have built this place from the foundation stone, and are its caretaker. Do not flee the foe, for like a dry branch in the wind, they will snap in half, leaving only you, and bitter dreams carried away, like leaves. Even that which has stood a thousand years, is eroded in the wind, and no institution can withstand the force of Truth, and solidarity. Unjust rules should never be adhered to in right conscience. This labor must be paid, for the betterment of all. Everyone. Even the adversary– for Apollon does not discriminate in the healing arts. Healing and destruction are well met on the path, and so to heal, we must destroy what prevents that healing in the first place.

Prostaterias (II) Feb. 2 – Mar. 2, 2022

(N) Nu, (H) Eta, (O) Omicron

An attempt to sabotage our efforts will come quickly in the month of Prostaterias, but do not weep or worry, for this attempt will not only backfire, but be the catalyst which brings the tower down for good. Only rubble will remain where once a great and festering evil stood. Its pangs shall ring out in the aftermath, and only then will the willfully ignorant understand: there is no fighting Apollon; He bests every foe, as they themselves lay bested in the remnants and debris of their own id and ego. Even if they do not speak of their contempt, it will not be hidden. No one can hide their heart from the Gods. It is seen, and it is known in the light of the Shining Sun. So too must we be prepared to have our hearts be judged, therefor we should purge contempt, so the weight of it does not force us down, as well. We all must be prepared, and to do so, should continue planting seeds of love, peace, justice and strength. These are the efforts for which the adversary’s end is wrought.

Daphneion (III) Mar. 3 – Apr. 1, 2022

(M) Mu, (I) Iota, (E) Epsilon

Keep striving. Only the work will bring the ends we hope for. There are no shortcuts to be had. An easy road may be desirable, but what is desire in the face of success? To want, is to be prepared to achieve, and only through the toil of our hard-won efforts, may we reach the pinnacle of achievement. Yet, there is always more that can and should be done. Will we simply end our striving, and set aside our goals? No. Never. We will keep striving, and working toward what is good, and what is needed in our lives and communities. All of us are responsible for the well-being of our neighbors, and we should all want to leave a world that is more stable and equitable than the one we were born into. Even during adversarial times, we have the strength of our convictions, and of our bodies. If we must be a bulwark against injustice, we will do so, and we will do so gladly. This is the way to ensure the springtime comes again for our people, and the world, itself. We must come together, standing firm, for there is and always has been, enough love and success to be shared amongst the masses.

Telchinion through Daphneion 2020/2021

Telchinion (XII) – Oct. 17 – Nov. 15, 2020

(Ξ) Xi, (Λ) Lambda, (Ι) Iota

Anger will not turn those who have wronged us back toward righteousness, so we are warned in the month of Telchinion, not to allow that emotion to overtake or rule us, even as we feel its effects, most plainly. Look always for signs of progress, for they show themselves everywhere. Look even into the results of our failures, as they may reveal new roads, not previously seen. Starting from the beginning can have two effects on the mind. It can either weigh us down in the past, or it can set us free to discover new futures. So be free and begin again. As long as we live and try, we may reach our goal.

Hyperboraios (XIII) – Nov. 16 – Dec. 14, 2020

(Θ) Theta, (Μ) Mu, (Ρ) Rho

In the month of Hyperboraios, the Gods call for individual sacrifices, ordeals, and offerings. These are mandated in exchange for favors previously given, and for advance payment of services yet to be rendered. In this revelation, the obvious is that the Gods are paying attention to our efforts. In so knowing, it becomes imperative that we commit to the work that They are offering. Do not think to skip or overlook this part of the work. A bargain made is a promise, and the Gods hold us always to our promises.

Perihelios (I) Dec. 15 – Jan. 13, 2020/2021

(Δ) Delta, (N) Nu, (Λ) Lambda

In Perihelios, we are reminded of patience. Striking blindly at our foes only results in injuring ourselves and one another. We are encouraged to instead wait, and allow nature to take its course regarding those who would do us harm. Their plans are revealed, and all tyrants fall at the critical time. A miasma descends, bringing the oppressor down with it. Darkness shines like the light, bringing hope. So, seek the good in what is revealed to you, and walk cautiously with the shadow.

Prostaterias (II) Jan. 14 – Feb. 11, 2021

(Π) Pi, (Ω) Omega, (A) Alpha

In Prostaterias, first, know that success is assured. Now, gird your loins and prepare for the battle, because it will be a brutal one, going forward. All that collides with us will resist our will; therefor must we learn to avoid collision. Working within our own parameters, and in concert with the natural cycles which surround us, we may avoid much of the chaos that comes with undue haste. We must slow ourselves down and embrace the pace set forth by necessity. Once we have mastered these lessons, prosperity becomes more than a dream, and rather, the true outcome of our efforts. There is no future for us that is not ripe with joy.

Daphneion (III) Feb. 12 – Mar. 13, 2021

(M) Mu, (E) Epsilon, (N) Nu

During the month of Daphneion, the gains we have made from our labor and perseverance have begun to bloom, and have become apparent to others. At this time it is important to remain wary of newcomers seeking to siphon off our accomplishments. Beware of forced partnerships, and pretty words. Beware also what is planted by conniving hands. Foundations laid in deceit are not stable, and can be upended at any time. An impending disaster will strip away all illusion or pretense. Take what is given, and what is spared, in stride, and move forward, always.

Telchinion (XII) – Oct. 29-Nov. 26, 2019

(X) Khi, (Θ) Theta, (Π) Pi

Continue down the paths we tread, for we are doing our souls’ work, following the true paths laid before us.  We simply must continue.  We must never lose sight of ourselves and our destinies.  What awaits us is sweet, and satisfying.  Apollon, our Lord, and the other Blessed Gods, are with us, having blessed our works, and we should endeavor to live up to Their blessing, by completing our portion of the work before us, as we are charged to do.  The more obstacles we face, the more sure we should be of the choices we’ve made, for these are the trials we must face in order to claim our success.  There will be obstructions, and we will remove them, for they are not so troublesome, lacking the depth to keep us bound.  We do our Lord’s will when we do our own.

Hyperboraios (XIII) – Nov. 27-Dec. 26, 2019

(Γ) Gamma, (Σ) Sigma, (Z) Zeta

All that we do will be remembered.  We need not worry about how we will fare at the end of things, for our harvest will be ripe and bountiful, and all that we deserve.  When encountering hardship, or a simple impasse, make no drastic moves, and hold ourselves with composure.  The Bright One will shine upon all, leaving falsehood open, and vulnerable to the Light of Truth.  Do not turn away from the maelstrom upcoming.  Stand without fear, knowing that justice is our soft shore.  In flight, we may be struck down.  It is better to withstand, and survive.

Perihelios (I) Dec. 27 – Jan. 23, 2019/2020

(I) Iota, (T) Tau, (B) Beta

When in the midst of the grind, keep our goals in sight, and stay primed for success, so that we already know what course of action to take in the event of, thus mitigating the chance of crippling setbacks in the aftermath of such achievement.  Be not idle, therefor the work must continue.  We need not bear witness to the falling away of unnecessary adversaries, for our own endeavors keep us occupied.  Know that we will soon deal only within the frameworks we choose, and build.  Should we feel the need, the Lord of Pytho will hear our petition, yet must we remember that all success is ours to cultivate or subdue, and we must own our final result.

Prostaterias (II) Jan. 24 – Feb. 24, 2020

(Π) Pi, (Ξ) Xi, (B) Beta

Every step brings us closer to our end result, that which we have studied and striven for.  Never cease striving.  Weigh also the cost of pouring resources, whether tangible or intangible, into areas which never lead to a return on the initial investment.  Be honest about whether or not we can, or even want to repair whatever may be broken.  Perhaps it is best to be rid of the thing that hinders or harms.  Again, Pythios declares His assistance, and we are expected to uphold and fulfill our promises.

Daphneion (III) Feb. 25 – Mar. 24, 2020

(Γ) Gamma, (Ξ) Xi, (O) Omicron

A warning, we are given for the month of Daphneion, to not allow ourselves to rest upon the deeds of the past.  What has already occurred, no matter how glorious, no longer serves Apollon to the capacity that He wishes to be served.  Always look forward, keeping in our sights a new endeavor in which to showcase our talents, on His behalf.  Keeping our talents to ourselves does not even serve ourselves properly, and hoarding, even only our own intrinsic wealth, is detrimental to all in our vicinity.  Lastly, we can not expect to receive the best, when our only efforts are of the lowest caliber.

Telchinion through Daphneion 2018/2019

 

Telchinion (XII) Nov. 8 – Dec. 7, 2018

(Θ) Theta, (X) Khi, (P) Rho

For the month of Telchinion, the theme is one of the triumph of our careful planning over the winds of random change.  What we have sown from months past has at last reached the point where we can observe the road ahead, and make our course corrections.  However, these corrections must be made, for the many Gods have laid them out for us to see, and we ignore them at our peril.  Yet must we also take the time to observe before we act, in order that we will meet with the most favorable return.

Hyperboraios (XIII) Dec. 8 – Jan. 6, 2018/2019

(M) Mu, (A) Alpha, (Σ) Sigma

What we may perceive as a setback, may in fact be the time needed to adjust to the changes we have ourselves initiated.  Gradually, not immediately, and through our hard work, are how these beneficial changes will come to pass.  And when our lives begin to flow in the ways we desire, know that our success is related directly to both our confidence, and our ability to strive toward our best.

Perihelios (I) Jan. 7 – Feb. 4, 2019

(M) Mu, (Γ) Gamma, (Π) Pi

Perihelios  brings with it the very necessary potential for life changing hard work, which will in turn bring forth the ripened fruits of our labors.  If you have allowed yourself to coast this far, know that the smooth road ends here. There are no shortcuts, only the toil.  Struggle is the way of life, and after all is said and done, it is the struggle which makes us worthy of the crown.

Prostaterias (II) Feb. 5 – Mar. 6, 2019

(Σ) Sigma, (A) Alpha, (K) Kappa

During the month of Prostaterias, we must stand our ground.  We must not give in to the enemies around us, though they may swell like the sea.  It will be painful, but we must wrench strength from our bodies and souls, once again.  The only way out is through, and the only way through is to let them crash against us, unmoving and immovable.  We will be a wall, and they will be brittle and breaking.

Daphneion (III) Mar. 7 – Apr. 5, 2019

(R) Rho, (Π) Pi, (I) Iota

When we find ourselves making strides in our lives, let us not forget those we have left behind, or those who struggle to keep up.  To succeed, we must rely on the love and strength of those who have chosen to traverse these paths with us.  Let us truly be brethren, and let us never yield our power, or our commitment to the truth.  The work ahead will be long and arduous.  Hold fast; the reward is within reach.

Telchinion (XII) Oct. 20 – Nov. 18, 2017

(T) Tau, (Δ) Delta, (I) Iota

During the month of Telchinion, there is the warning of separation for one’s own betterment.  If you now socialize with, or otherwise associate with individuals who do not share your own ethic of hard work and accountability, then you are better off without them.  The Gods and circumstances will conspire to fulfill this promise, if you are unwilling to do it yourself.  Things that may hold you back from taking this action may be tradition or customs, cherished and long-standing in your circle, but you must go your own way.  Tradition is useless if you stagnate upon it’s corpse.  What comes next will be determined by your tenacity.

 

Hyperboraios (XIII) Nov. 19 – Dec. 18, 2017

(N) Nu, (Θ) Theta, (Π) Pi

The month of Hyperboraios portends a great blessing to be bestowed by the Gods.  It will make your life more difficult.  This is not an easy blessing to bear, but the Divine Ones walk beside you, guiding and showing the way.  You must remain focused, and stay upon the path They have laid out for you.  Any attempt to set aside Their gift will result only in loss, pain and hardship.  So struggle forward, and you will earn the righteous rewards for your efforts.

 

Perihelios (I) Dec. 19 – Jan. 17, 2017/2018

(K) Kappa, (M) Mu, (Δ) Delta

A great wave of motion will toss you within its twirling winds, during the month of Perihelios.  It will sweep you up, and affect all that you have done up to this point.  Do not fight change.  Change is the constant.  It will grind you down like a weathered stone if you try.  And yet, through this change, it is possible to forge ahead on your journey, resting in far off places you never would have known had the great wind not taken you.  Change is harrowing, but also a blessing in disguise.  Do your work, and the timing for ascent out of the maelstrom with reveal itself to you.  Strike then, with force, and be released.

 

Prostaterias (II) Jan. 18 – Feb. 15, 2018

(T) Tau, (A) Alpha, (Ψ) Psi

During the month of Prostaterias, you will be called upon to release someone (or something– this could easily pertain to a project you have worked on for many months or years– something so dear to you, it is as a child parted from its mother’s arms) into the harsh world, where they may face struggles and criticisms that you can not shield them from.  It must happen for the growth of the one you hold dear.  Letting them (or it) go now will result in the most favorable outcome.  To attempt to withhold them (or it) will likely be disastrous in the long term, though it may assuage your short term fears.  The Gods are watching, and have concurred in this oracle.

 

Daphneion (III) Feb. 16 – Mar. 17, 2018

(O) Omicron, (Φ) Phi, (Ξ) Xi

In the month of Daphneion, we receive a warning.  What we give to the Universe comes back to us.  Our actions have consequence.  When we receive the fruit of our labors, or our words, we must take full responsibility.  The Gods are not at fault for what we do and say, and the criticisms or troubles we reap.  If we wish to receive the good, we must first cultivate the good in ourselves, so we may send it forth to generate the profits we seek.  If we do not, or we do nothing, we can not expect a prize fruit from a tree untended.

Bi-Yearly Oracular Forecast

Aegletion through Daphneion 2016/2017

 

Aegletion (XI) Oct. 2 – Oct. 30, 2016

(Μ) Mu, (Ο) Omicron, (Ζ) Zeta

Aegletion looks to be a difficult month, one which compels us to lay strong foundations to rest upon for the coming year.  All that we do has its purpose, and we will reap what we sow.  But, for the trials ahead, it may be best for us to stockpile our energies for the time when they will be most effective.  When we are in the midst of the turmoil is not the proper time to set our will against it.

 

Telchinion (XII) Oct. 31 – Nov. 29, 2016

(Ρ) Rho, (Θ) Theta, (Ξ) Xi

In Telchinion, we may wish to bide our time.  It is fruitless to try to force action, especially of others, at this time.  If they do not come around to your position, know that the Gods are with you and will support your endeavors. Do not become bogged down by the irreverence or bad attitudes of the people around you.  There is a time for everything, and when it comes, with the help of the Gods, you will be ready.

 

Hyperboraios (XIII) Nov. 30 – Dec. 29, 2016

(Λ) Lambda, (Ω) Omega, (Ε) Epsilon

In Hyperboraios, things may be more than what they seem.  There will be difficulties, but it is up to us to see what positive effects are brought about by change.  We will not want to see these things, for we will prefer to hold onto the status quo.  We may also only see the negative impact of change, instead of acknowledging the great benefit of unnecessary barriers crumbling to the ground.  We must not leap to ‘fix’ things too quickly, lest we undermine the reordering which is necessary.  We will not enjoy this time, and yet, what is right is right.

 

Perihelios (I) Dec. 30 – Jan. 28, 2016/2017

(Ζ) Zeta, (Ι) Iota, (Ο) Omicron

Perihelios has the potential to be a frustrating month, but if we remain steadfast, we may achieve our goals.  Keep a check on your temper, never stop working for what you want, and know that the fruits of your labors will be ripe and sweet when you remember to take the proper care.

 

Prostaterias (II) Jan. 29 – Feb. 26, 2017

(N) Nu, (Ω) Omega, (M) Mu

In Prostaterias, harsh truths will be spoken, but they are necessary. Uncomfortable words will gather on your tongue, and you will afflict loved ones and strangers alike.  Do not pretend, and do not cloud your meaning behind empty platitudes.  Truth is the gift of Apollon, meant to be spread amongst deserving ears.  This may make for a hard road in the immediate aftermath, but when the dust clears, the way forward will be unmistakable.

 

Daphneion (III) Feb. 27 – Mar. 28, 2017

(Z) Zeta, (Π) Pi, (Χ) Khi

Daphneion seems to be when the trials of the previous months come to a head in success.  At this time, we will ride the waves of fruition, being brought ashore by the tide.  Keep your head low, avoiding all controversy, surfacing only to complete your tasks and to claim hard-won rewards.  The end is propitious, and to be savored.
