Thargelion 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 updated my Google calendar for another half year!
• The tags in the right hand menu of the blog are now arranged in a cloud. This way, the more used ones appear bigger, making it easier to search.

Statistics:

• A little over 905.000 views right now!
• 25.000 of those hits happened in the last month
• The top five most popular posts were: Reconstruction isn't a lie (226), How to commemorate the death of a pet, the Hellenic way (214), PBP: Symbols of Hellenismos (211), How to curse and swear traditionally (208), Bless you, Helios, bless you! (186)

PAT rituals for Skirophorion:

• 5/29 - Skirophorion 3 - Sacrifice to Kourotrophos, Athena Polias, Aglaurus, Zeus Polieus, Poseidon & possibly Pandrosos at Erkhia*
• 6/7 - Skirophorion 12 - Skirophoria - festival in honor of Athena, Poseidon, Apollon & Demeter; the Tritopatores were worshipped at Marathon on the eve of this festival

Anything else?

The National Alliance on Mental Illness has become Pandora's Kharis' Thargelion 2017 cause. NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. What started as a small group of families gathered around a kitchen table in 1979 has blossomed into the nation's leading voice on mental health.

The deadline to donate is today, May 26th, 2017. You can do so by using the PayPal option to the side of the Pandora's Kharis website or by donating directly to baring.the.aegis@gmail.com. Thank you in advance!
