				1	2	3 Dionysius (City Dionysia) Dionysius (City Dionysia) October 3, 2020 The September festival of Bacchus, also called the City Dionysia, was specifically the festival of the wine-god in his role as the patron of the theater. The theaters of ancient Greece and Rome usually had subsidized tickets for the poor, and assigned judges to hear and weigh the merits of individual plays. Some pagan groups use this day specifically to stage plays or play-readings, and it's a good time of year to attend Shakespeare festivals outside or in. In ritual, the use of masks and theatrical effects is quite appropriate. To mimic the form and pattern of a Greek theater, shift from a circle to a half-circle, and assign no more than four speaking roles in your ritual for the day. See more details •

18 Pandrosos Pandrosos October 18, 2020 Pandrosos, called "the all-refreshing one" was a hermaphroditic deity of sun and rain, or alternately the deified high priestess of Minerva the Roman goddess of wisdom. Associated with Apollo, (s)he presided over the harvest season's weather, and was implored to provide appropriate sun and rain for the ingathering of the year's food. In ritual alone and with others, praise the good weather of this time of year lavishly, and give thanks for the good weather of the previous year. Celebrate with bread, wine, apples, and other produce of this time of year. See more details •	19	20	21	22	23	24
25 The Dioscuri: Castor & Pollux The Dioscuri: Castor & Pollux October 25, 2020 The Dioscuri, meaning "Sons of Zeus" or "Healing Gods" depending on who's doing the translation, were Castor and Pollux in Roman tradition, and Crispin/Crispianus in the Christian tradition. The Battle of Agincourt was fought on this day in 1415. The Dioscuri were widely admired in the ancient world for centuries, and temples to them stood in many places. The were warriors to the Mycenaean Greeks and to Homer, healers to the Hellenistic Greeks of the years after Alexander, and magicians and miracle-workers to the Romans. Several traveling Christian Apostles were mistaken for the reappearance of the gods themselves, who had a habit of curing people for free, and then mysteriously vanishing. They were a symbol of men working in partnership. In ritual alone and with others, give thanks to the strong but gentle men in your life, for responsible fathers and helpful brothers and the neighbor who ploughs your driveway in winter. It is a good time for the meeting of the partners of women in covens, or for the formation of men's groups.
