Eurynome

I was thinking about Eurynome today. After circle this Saturday I have thought about the Greek Gods a Great deal. The ritual for Imbolc was a celebration of Greek myth that brought home how much information I picked up about the Greed Goddesses as a child It is the Pantheon I know the most about. There is a beauty in the Greek gods that I loved as a child a lack of harshness unlike those found in other peoples religion. They were not perfect and disliked and held in horror two things Cannibalism and Hubris... When stumped with meting out punishment for a moral infraction they believed in compromise.... There is a lightness in them that has survived the thrashing of their reputations by other religions and their own actions... There are many gods in the greek stories and many a creation story because many different city state would have a different Goddess as the creatrix. Well circle was a re-doing of the greek mysteries of Demeter and Kore and the return of Kore. Of all the circles I had been to in the last few years this one had the most atmosphere of sanctity around it. It was a though the Greek gods themselves were holding their breathes and in the end they most asuredly gave their approval to the ceremonies. Well blessed IMBOLC to all. Forgot to post on the 2-3
