Labrys celebrates the Mounikhia, 2015

I am very happy to share with you Labrys' ritual for the Mounikhia. The Labrys Religious Community aims to preserve, promote and practice the Hellenic polytheistic religious tradition through public rituals, lectures, publications, theatrical and musical events, and other forms of action. Their vision is to restore the Hellenic religious tradition and by extension the Hellenic Kosmotheasis and lifestyle to its rightful place, as a respected, acknowledged and fully functional spiritual path.

They have a large variety of rituals and festivals documented, including their 2015 Mounikhia festival in honour of Artemis. Enjoy!

Hear us, O' Goddess, light-bearing Queen, divine Selene;
bull-horned Mene, night-roaming, airborne,
nocturnal, torch-bearing, dark maiden; Mene,
who waxes and wanes, masculine and feminine;
illuminating, horse-loving, mother of time; fruit-bearing,
amber, atmospheric, all-shining, each night;

You, the all-seeing, vigilant, filled with beautiful stars,
joyful in the silence and the fortunate night;
bright, joy-bringing, full-cycled, jewel of the night;

O' star-queen, long-veiled, variable, all-wise maid,
approach with bliss and delight; rich with stars and shining
light three-fold; protect your new suppliants, O' Maid.
