I am really enjoying the contributions you guys have made to our communal hymns and so I’ve decided to extend the deadline for another week to see what else materializes. Once they’re finished I’m planning to put them together into a little booklet, along with some hymns of my own composition which I’ll be writing especially for this and won’t publish anywhere else. I’ll also put together a wall calendar with all of the noumenias, festivals and holy days of the thiasos calculated through 2014 and sell them together as a package. To keep the costs down you’ll just be paying the production price and shipping. So anyone who’s interested in this drop me a line at sannion@gmail.com and I’ll put you on the list.
UPDATE: Because of a generous donation the Starry Bull hymnal and wall calendar set is being offered FREE to anyone who wants them. For details click here.
We have our next online chat scheduled for tomorrow at 10:00pm EST and since we had awful technical glitches with Google we’ll be moving to WebEx instead. I’ll post more precise details about how to participate tomorrow. This chat will be more formally structured with the first hour devoted to socializing and the sharing of concerns and our personal practice. For the second hour we’ll begin a series of discussions on the gods and spirits of our pantheon with Melinoë.
We’ll also officially be starting our Starry Bull Book Club with a reading of Euripides’ Bakchai. I’ll post some decent translations, study questions and other resources tomorrow.
