As promised, this is part two of the video tutorials on basic Hellenistic ritual. Today, as promised
yesterday, I'm posting a video on how to offer libations. The video picks up right where the video on
khernips left off. This specific type of libation is a
sponde, an offering to the Olympic deities that is shared with mortals.
If these vlogs are something you'd like to see more of, please let me know and I'll try to think up a few other rituals to show you. If you have requests, also don't hesitate to let me know.
Again, sorry about the quality, my phone seems to have some trouble focussing. I'll make sure the next ones are steady.
Another excellent tutorial, Elani. This is the first time I've ever seen someone perform libations and it was much easier to grasp than to just read an account of it in a book. I hope you will do others in the future as I think they're tremendously helpful to us newbies.
ReplyDeleteI thought of a couple of questions regarding khernips, which I posted under that video.
Thank you for these videos!
I'm glad it was helpful :) Next video tutorial coming next week, around Noumenia.
DeleteI answered your questions (sort of) and will get back to you on the bay leaves.
Again, thank you for reading, asking questions and your nice words.
You bring it to life in a way that is hard to picture from a non-practitioner's dry description. Thank you again. :)
ReplyDeleteVery welcome! Glad you like it! You're playing catch-up, I see ;)
