In Hellenic religion, today is the Deipnon<\/a>. Part of a 3 day religious observance at the time of the dark and new moon.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a time to close up unfinished business before the new moon appears. People pay any remaining bills, respond to all correspondence, donate to a food shelter, make offerings to Hekate, and clean house.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never celebrated the Deipnon before. I\u2019m giving it a shot today, and my roommates are rather serendipitously on board, as they have guests arriving tomorrow, and are eager to clean today.<\/p>\n

So today is all about cleaning, top to bottom. Reorganizing, scrubbing, freshening, washing, airing out and all those good things. Tonight I\u201dll leave an offering at the crossroads (a three-way crossroads can be the end of your driveway) and start preparing for the second part of the 3-day observance, the Noumenia<\/a>.<\/p>\n
