Mounikhion updates

On the day of the Hene kai Nea, I post a monthly update about things that happened on the blog and in projects and organizations related to it. I will also announce Elaion's coming PAT rituals.

Changes to the blog:

• I'm behind on reader questions again. Sorry! I'll catch up ASAP!
