Chissà se arriverò al punto di chiamare casa qualcosa senza che poi venga distrutta per colpa mia; chissà se arriverò al punto di chiamare casa qualcuno senza che poi se ne vada senza rimpianto, serenamente per la sua strada.

Chissà se arriverò al punto di essere io: casa.

For the conservative, human beings come into this world burdened by obligations, and subject to institutions and traditions that contain within them a precious inheritance of wisdom, without which the exercise of freedom is as likely to destroy human rights and entitlements as to enhance them.

The Oikos

The household worship is represented by the term oikos. This includes household worship and family traditions, which includes the family itself. It is often misinterpreted that the household worship just plain didn’t exist, with emphasis put on the Polis (the festivals) and the Mystery Cults. This is justified in a sense since there is limited art on the worship compared to the public festivals. The oikos is important in the sense that this is a worship that can be practiced in a time where hellenism is not recognized and practiced at the state level.

The Gods of the Household Worship:

Hestia

Zeus Ktesios

Zeus Erkeios

Hermes

Hekate

Apollon Agyieus

Hestia is the one who bestowed the knowledge of the Oikos, which is where her title of Goddess of Family comes from. Seeing as she is the Goddess of the Hearth, it represents where the family should gather to make food and warm themselves up. Most of the rituals of the Oikos actually take place at the altar, the perpetual burning flame sacred to her. To destroy the altar flame is to expect dire consequences for both ancestors and descendants that haven’t even been born.

Zeus Ktesios is praised as protector of the family goods and of the prosperity of the Oikos. The altar to Zeus Ktesios is usually held in a storage closet, seeing as that’s where most of the goods of the family are held. Most of the time, there was no single altar to him but was represented with an item called the Kathiskos. How to make the Kathiskos:

"It is necessary to make the symbol of Zeus Ktesios. We take a new Kathisko with two ears through which we thread white wool and yellow (crocus) thread which we take over the right shoulder so that it hangs in front we then put anything we find and ambrosia in it. Ambrosia is pure water (from a spring) and oil and all-fruit. This we put inside."

You can identify Zeus Ktesios with the house serpent (Oikoyro Ophi) that also protects the household goods. There was often symbols of the house serpent on his altars.

Zeus Erkeios represents your home and all things fenced in around your home. They would place the altar for Zeus Erkeios outside between their house and their fence. If one was living in an apartment, one could place this altar in the hall space between the door and the main open space of the apartment. For those renting a room/staying with their parents that won't allow outside altars, one would be placed along the wall.

There are three other deities: Hermes, Hekate, and Apollon Agyieus. They were protectors of the external sort, so they would be placed outside. They are of the roads, with Hekate the ruler of the crossroads, Hermes the ruler of the boundaries and the roads themselves for travel, and Apollon Agyieus the protector of the streets, alongside protecting public places and entrances. The three Gods would have their altar placed at the property limit. If living in an apartment, one could place this altar at their doorway. For those renting a room/staying with their parents that won't allow outside altars, one would be placed along the wall.

Richard Cosway, Hecate Trimorph

"Hecate was one of several deities worshipped in ancient Athens as a protector of the oikos (household)… On the night of the new moon, a meal would be set outside, in a small shrine to Hecate by the front door; as the street in front of the house and the doorway create a crossroads, known to be a place Hecate dwelled." Hecate, Wikipedia

･････････････････････････････୨୧ 開封･････････････････････････････୨୧

上層は真っ白なヨーグルト。

あっ、小さなツノがある😍

確保！

ねちっとしてるやけど柔らかい。

最近韓国系のグリークヨーグルトよく食べてたから、oikosがしっとりに感じる。

とはいえスプーンにしっかりまとわりつく濃厚さ🥄

ほりほりしてソース発掘すると…

うわぁきれい✨

透明のオレンジ色のソースに温州みかんの粒がたくさん！

香り付けがもこすごく優しくて、そのままでは香りが漂ってこん😳

お花みたいに豪華。

アプリコットの実物をちゃんと味わったことがなくてこれが正しいのかよく分からんのやけど、とても華やか💐

食べる前は香りの主張はほとんどなかったのに、食べた途端にすごすぎて圧倒された！

香りが印象のほとんどを持っていくけど、実は酸味がすごくいい仕事してる。

そして渋みも。

果肉の食感はあんまりわからんかったけど、見た目がいいからオッケー🙆🏻‍♀️

水切りヨーグルトの部分はふんわりしっとり。

香りが移ってて単体で食べても味がある。

全体を混ぜて食べるとクリーミーな食感の中にジューシーさが生まれてまたおいしい。

果肉が散りばめられたビジュアルもかわいい。

春を感じる華やかさにるんるん😊

In hunting you are following, and thing you follow is a pack of hounds, which in turn follows a scent. Some follow on horseback and are part of the action; others follow by foot or car. All are returning, to a certain extent, to a pre-agrarian condition.

I think I'm going to permanently stop the daily wine offerings to the gods and daimons. With 6 altars to maintain it's too complicated, the liquid water + wine systematically molds.

I will use water & reserve wine for more in-depth individual rites. (Or special occasions like tonight)

Same thing with resin incense, get fed up with the charcoal to buy and all that smoke. Cone incense has less energy, but is more practical for everyday use.

Any suggestions anyone? Oh, and happy New Year !

(I could just use incense & candles but I value food/drink offerings) 🍷🌹

Oikos Shrine January 13, 2023

I decided to change my household boundaries shrine into a shrine for all the Hellenic household Gods (at least by Attic tradition + Hera)— Oikos worship. Hestia is of course front and center with a symbolic hearth candle.

Gods left to right: Hekate, Apollo Argyieus [of the Streets], Hestia, Zeus Ktesios [of Possessions] (jar pseudo-kathiskos), Hermes, Zeus Herkeios [of the House], Hera Oikos [of the Family].
