It’s not like this High Day has taken me by surprise. But, well. I am still Kemetic, and Wep Ronpet is coming up on Feb 1, so I’ve sort of been concentrating on that because Wep Ronpet! New year! Wooo! (I still have so much to do for that oh gods)
But I’m nearly halfway through my DP High Days, and I didn’t want to skip this one. So I’ve been pondering what I might do for it in terms of themes or gods I might want to honour. I’m still getting to know the Hellenic festivals, and I find their lack of seasonal significance jarring. It comes from spending far too long working with seasonal calendars, I think, and isn’t necessarily a comment on Hellenic festivals per se. Different priorities, etc.
But since it is going to be the new year, I wondered if I might tap into that energy and have a Hellenic new year as well. So I’m pondering doing a non-COoR rite, designed to be a, well. A bigger noumenia ritual, I think. The High Day actually falls closer to last quarter than new, but the timing won’t work if I hold off until noumenia proper, which I think is 8 or 9 days later. But the energy of Wep Ronpet should be easy to tap into, in that new beginning sort of way.
