Thargalion updates

Where did this month go? Seriously, where did this month go? It feels like barely a week since I typed up the last monthly update! Whew! Well, it's time for another one, I guess. A while ago, I decided that on the day of the Hene kai Nea, I'd post a monthly update about things that happened on the blog.

Changes to the blog:

• This month, Pandora's Kharis raised a record breaking amount for CARE in order to help out the victims of the Nepal earthquakes: $1300,-. I am still so thankful of this major achievement! You can still donate to the fundraiser for the Bakcheion for another 24 hours! 
• Last  month, Atlantis ended (RIP, Atlantis!) and the recaps have been completed. I will start tracking completed series in the box to the left, for clarity. This month, I suspect I will add the Constellation Series and the Labours Series to the list.
• I did start up a new one, though, focussing on the Seven Sages of ancient Hellas.

Statistics:

• A little over 358.000 views right now
• 13.000 of those hits happened in the last month
• The top five most popular posts were: Ancient amphora broken to pieces by tourist and British Museum to Air 30-Minute Greek Art Presentation (479), PBP: Symbols of Hellenismos (157), Ancient maps and the modern world (131), "Atlantis" recap (2.12): The Queen Must Die (Part 2) (79), and Female poets of ancient Hellas (64)

Anything else?

Robert and I have taken to planning our PAT rituals ahead of time (yes, finally!) so during these updates I will tell you when and which we will host. For Skirophorion these will be: PAT ritual: sacrifice to Kourotrophos (20/06), PAT ritual for the Skiraphoria (29/06), and the PAT ritual for the Dipolieia (1/7). Rituals and Facebook announcements to follow.

That is it for the last month's updates, as far as I can remember. Have a blessed Deipnon!
