#deipnon

didn't get anything done but I did get a gig lined up for later in the month. I'll probably get $100 from it or so.

Happy Deipnon to all the Hekatean Girlies (in a gender neutral way):P

Hekatean Deipnon for the hellenic month of Thargelion (May-June). Libations of mugwort tea and olive oil. Offerings of bread, garlic, onion, lettuce and hard boiled eggs.

.... And I totally forgot the laundry was on the line to dry ... So it got to stay out to dry again.

Tonight was my second deipnon! Last month it was very windy. With the earlier storm it was even windier. But the electricity in the air is fantastic. I'm watching the lighting from my bed right now before I head to sleep. I have a cat on my feet.

Can't leave food at the nature reserve/dog walk like I planned because doing so regularly could cause dependency and over reliance in local wildlife.

Can't leave food out for the birds right now because there's a parasite that's spreading and I wouldn't be able to follow the guidelines.

Feel free to add on to this!

🖤 Birdseed (most bird seed is treated so it won't grow anything, but double check so you don't add invasive plants to an area)

🖤 Unflavoured meat or fish (boneless!)

🖤 Mealworms (need to be soaked first)

🖤 Wet cat/dog food

🖤 Fat balls (in winter when food is scarce)

🖤 Mixed nuts (non-salted!)

🖤 Grated/Chopped apples (Occasional, some wildlife can get drunk off fermented apples)

🖤 Grated/Chopped carrots (ensure any produce is pesticide-free)

🖤 Raw mushrooms (Always check and if unsure, stick to store-bought white cap)

🖤 Most veggies (avoid bulb veg like onions, leeks & chives, can be toxic)

🖤 Berries (Same as apples)

🖤 Hard-boiled eggs (Good source of protein in moderation, for many animals, including birds if chopped or crushed.)

🖤 Crushed eggshells (good source of calcium for many critters)

🖤 Cuttlefish bone

I call to lovely Hekate Einodia, Sacred Mother of the Crossroads, she who saunters along Sky, Earth, and Sea, crowned in stars and gowned in saffron, Maiden of Funerals in joyous revelry among the lively spirits of the dead, the Daughter of headstrong Perses, she who indulges in venison and solitude, Maiden of Night, Protectress of Dogs, revered Queen of Witchcraft, riding forth by bull-drawn carriage, she who guards the Kosmic keys, she of utmost authority, Nurturer of Children, firmly gazing from the mountains! I beseech you, Sacred Maiden, attend and bless my hallowed prayers, and accept my offerings with graciousness so that I may walk steadfast in your Light!
