#temple updates

Now that I’ve made posts about every currently dedicated temple, I’ve decided what I’m going to do next. Starting next Tuesday, I will be sharing a mini-digest of temple updates. Next week’s post will give a quick summary of the construction status of every temple currently under construction or awaiting groundbreaking. Then, every two weeks, I’ll share a digest of all temple construction news that has taken place since the previous post. If nothing has changed during those two weeks, I’ll share an uplifting temple story, a conference talk about temples, or other similar content. This will be the main format for the foreseeable future.

In addition to the bi-weekly construction updates, I will also be sharing weekly updates on the reopening of temples following the shutdown due to COVID-19. Starting next Monday, I’ll share any status changes announced that week, as well as the updated operating status list of all temples. I chose Monday for these updates since that’s when the Church has been announcing re-openings and when previously announced re-openings take effect.

1. Temple Hyacinthus' 2026 Google and Printable Calendars are now available! As always, access to our digital and printable calendars is completely free. Check our Calendar Overview Page on our website for more details :)

2. We have temporarily discontinued our Devotee Guidance and Written Works services for the time being, but we hope to bring this back in the new year!

3a. We will not be adding any new Devotional Sets to the Hyacinthus Jewelry shop until 2026 - but we have quite a few lovely sets still available for purchase! If you're interested, check out our Shopify Storefront.

3b. We are still accepting jewelry commissions! You can fill out a commission form here.

4. We're hoping to make 2026 a big year for us, while none of these plans are set in stone - here is some of the things we're hoping to accomplish in 2026:

Create a Discord Server

Hold Monthly 'Oracle Consultations' from May to December

Establish a General Ritual Guide for Solar and Lunar Festivals

Fundraisers and Collection Drives to Support Our Community and Select Charities

We hope you all are enjoying the changing of the season as we get closer to Cheimónas (Winter) - and we thank each and every one of your for your support. We wouldn't be here if not for the kindness of our patrons and our community.

Eirene - peace and farewell,

New Deities Added to 'The Theoi' Page >>> We have added Hypnos, Hygeia, and Thanatos to Temple Hyacinthus' list of regularly revered and worshipped deities.

A Minor Renaming

Khaire Temple Patrons and Visitors, wishing you all a peaceful Saturday!

This post serves as an announcement that the name of Our Temple has been changed, slightly, to better reflect our purpose and our future projects.

-> TLDR; The Temple of Hyacinthus is now simply 'Temple Hyacinthus'

1. Official Temple of Hyacinthus Website

The url will be templehyacinthus.org but the website is not yet live - if you would be interested in helping to fund this project (the domain has been purchased but running the website for a year will cost $174) please shoot us a DM!

Estimated Completion Date: December 2024

2. Official Temple of Hyacinthus Ritual Calendar

This will include monthly holidays like Noumenia and Hekatê’s Deipnon, as well as annual festivals like Hyakíntha and Asclepia

The calendar will be available as a Google Calendar link and a free printable wall calendar.

Estimated Completion Date: December 2024

3. Official Temple of Hyacinthus YouTube Channel

Exact content type is not yet decided. Videos may include visuals for meditation and prayer, recordings of rituals, how-to guides, and possibly Didachí (a Greek word that means “teaching” - it would be akin to a sermon or opinion piece).

This project is still in the early stages of planning - accurately described as the “rough draft” phase.

Estimated Completion Date: Early-Mid 2025

All of our services and projects will continue to be provided free of charge. Donations are always appreciated but never expected.

If you have any questions, requests, or suggestions please feel free to send us an ask!

Eirene - peace and farewell,

Please be advised the our Temple's Website [ https://aonianre.wixsite.com/hyacinthus ] is currently undergoing construction and renovation. Links may be non-functional and webpages may be formatted incorrectly (especially on mobile). Once renovations are complete, we aim to have the following changes made:

A dedicated URL for ease of access and navigation*

Updated graphics and information for all Temple related information.

Updated navigation and cross-page linking for improved connectivity and accessibility.

New calendar information and downloads for both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres (as requested by community members).

We appreciate your patience as we seek to improve our services and community 🧡
