Baring the Aegis - Noumenia ritual [Hellenismos]
This is a video with some highlights of a Noumenia ritual I did at the same time as a wonderful friend of mine who lives in America. It's a 'Practicing Apart Together'-thing (see link below). I recorded it for him, to see a little bit of what I did, but because people on TH-cam have requested I upload an actual ritual, I decided to make the video public. There is no explanation on anything, but I am open to questions. You can read the full ritual in the link below. My apologies for the sound issues--especially during the sacrifice to Artemis--it was supposed to be sixteen degrees Celsius and suddenly, my camera was out in 26 degree weather, full in the sun. Apparently, it will turn you into a smurf on speed when it overheats.

Spoken text:
"Okeanos whose nature ever flows, from whom at first both Gods and men arose; sire incorruptible, whose waves surround, and earth's all-terminating circle bound: hence every river, hence the spreading sea, and earth's pure bubbling fountains spring from thee. Hear, mighty sire, for boundless bliss is thine, greatest cathartic of the powers divine : earth's friendly limit, fountain of the pole, whose waves wide spreading and circumfluent roll. Approach benevolent, with placid mind, and be forever to thy mystics kind."
"Blessed Goddess Hestia, you who tend the holy house of the lord Apollon, the Far-shooter at goodly Pytho, with soft oil dripping ever from your locks, come now into this house, come, having one mind with Zeus the all-wise-draw near, and withal bestow grace upon my song. Accept my offering of honey sweet wine and even sweeter honey and watch over these rites. As the gods will it, so shall it be."
"And next, sweet voiced Muses, daughters of Zeus, well-skilled in song, tell of the long-winged Moon. From her immortal head a radiance is shown from heaven and embraces earth; and great is the beauty that ariseth from her shining light. The air, unlit before, glows with the light of her golden crown, and her rays beam clear, whensoever bright Selene having bathed her lovely body in the waters of Ocean, and donned her far-gleaming raiment, and yoked her strong-necked, shining team, drives on her long-maned horses at full speed, at eventime in the mid-month: then her great orbit is full and then her beams shine brightest as she increases. So she is a sure token and a sign to mortal men.
Once the Son of Cronos was joined with her in love; and she conceived and bare a daughter Pandia, exceeding lovely amongst the deathless gods. Hail, white-armed goddess, bright Selene, mild, bright-tressed queen! And now I will leave you and sing the glories of men half-divine, whose deeds minstrels, the servants of the Muses, celebrate with lovely lips. To you I too offer offerings of the sweetest wine, and even sweeter honey. May your bright rays ever shine favorably upon me."
"I sing of Artemis with shafts that are of gold, strong-voiced, the revered virgin, dear-shooting, delighter in arrows, own sister to Apollon of the golden sword. Over the shadowy hills and windy peaks she draws her golden bow, rejoicing in the chase, and sends out grievous shafts. Hail to you, children of Zeus and rich-haired Leto! And now I will remember you and another song also. Blessed Goddess Aremis, far-shooter, divine archer, sister to Apollon. Accept these offerings of honey sweet wine, and even sweeter honey. May your arrows never pierce my heart."
"Then may blessings go with you, and may the gods watch benevolently over me and guard us. with favorable fortunes! I make an offering of the sweetest wine to all the Gods, and of the sweetest honey. May you ever watch favourably upon us."
"And finally I sing again of Hestia, Goddess of home and hearth. And I thank you for attending every rite, and accepting every prayer, and every libation, and every sacrifice. Because you know the value of family, and of the oikos. And you willingly carry my voice up to the Gods. And as the Gods will it, may you ever stand beside me, and ever guard this oikos, and ever guard those in it. As the Gods will it, so shall it be."

As requested, a video on my main altar space.

A short video by me on how I make my kathiskos on the Noumenia. The kathiskos is a small jar filled with foodstuffs which is stored from the Noumenia (first day of the lunar month) until the Deipnon (last day of the lunar month) in a shrine to Zeus Kthesios. It's purpose is to protect the pantry. More information on Hellenismos can be found on my blog, Baring the Aegis: baringtheaegis.blogspot....

Thank you! I saw the pictures on how to do it, but it didn't connect until I saw your video. 😊
could i replace the sea water for sea salt? i don’t live near any bodies of salt water
Thank you for this great reference :)
Thank you, you saved my history grade
This is very good, but I need perizoma instructions, otherwise I have to do sports naked.
Hello there ! Appreciate the Amazing video it was much needed ! I doubt anyone would know or help but do you think it could be possible to show one piety or ritual to Zeus ? If not that’s completely fine, however an answer or on some sources would be helpful and again thank you !
Hi, Elani. in some other sources, I've heard one can just use tap water and had salt in it, instead of mixing spring water and salt water. Then you can burn incense instead of leaves. Also I wondered if burning bay leaves is correct.
That really helps me with my fanfiction. My protagonist (an artist) fells in love with a muse.

Beautiful! Many blessings to you.
This is neat and cool!
Very great and helpful video! As a beginner I have a question tho: do you only make offerings/libations to gods or goddesses you have some kind of relationshio with or that you work with or can you make an offering when a prayer has been answered for example?
Hi which kind of leaves did you use please? My hearing is terrible! Thanks
I heard Verbena
I learned a lot. Thank you!
Thank you it was the last one I needed, cn you buve, searching I. Google I find nothing, I look here and bingo... I fundi you... Thsnk you xxx
Lovely. Please do another video 🖤🖤🖤🖤
this is beautiful I'll incorporate some of this into my Deipnon for Hekate chthonia
Thanks for being so hands-on and clear. When I have tried to google ancient Greek dress, the illustrations have been at best a photo of a sculpture, at worst a photo of a pot decoration, and the terms have sometimes been contradictory from place to place. I wonder what the women wore under. (Especially, and I am asking for a...friend, what big breasted women wore to manage their...friends.)
Khaire Elani Temperance! Eirene kai Hygeia! Thank you a lot for your website and TH-cam channel, specially this video about how to dress peplos and chitons, and I´m sure for the others videos I still had no opportunity to watch. For a long time I want to have my own chiton, but I didn´t know how to dress it. I still don´t know about the size of the rectangular cloth, height and width, could you tell more about it? How to prepare and measure the size of cloth? of a chiton?
I just found your blog, and it's already helped me so much. Thank you.
I came here from an indian saree tutorial and this is just as interesting.
Ancient Greek drape is beautiful. That is amazing !!
Indian saree is another example to learn from. Indian women drape that 5 m cloth gracefully and secure it with so much ease.
This is perfect for Greek summer.
Thank you for this. You are perfect
It wasn't recommended..I SEARCHED FOR IT
I may be wrong but I think that in a book of robert flacelière it's written that it wasn't acceptable even for men to wear a himation without something under it, as they would be perceived as mad, the only exception being philosophers for some reason
Philosophers *are* mad. That's why. 😉
These are all from Africa
I know Ethiopia has some!

This is an amazing tutorial! I wish all TH-cam tutorials were this good!!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you SO much! This was immensely helpful!
I enjoyed watching this video. It really does resembles with what's usually illustrated in bibles etc.

Why did you stop doing the videos? i'm a hellenic polytheist from brazil and i appreciate a lot your job, thanks for it all
I'm from Brazil too!
Fatal
Why did you stop making videos?
they are simple but not easy to put on.
Thank you! I came across this video while searching for Hellenic clothing I can wear to pray, to bring myself closer to the deities
Ancient Greeks: embrace the blanket burrito
Lol
You're a hero. Fantastic video, so helpful.
Hi, I been studying hellenic paganism and reconstruction forever it seems and I been making offerings and worship when ever I can. However I'm not ethnically greek. I love the theoi with all my heart and I'm not a witch or wiccan just a hellenic pagan but I want to know of what I'm doing is disrespectful to my fellow greeks. I mean it is your culture. Thank you and may the Theoi bless you always
if you want to follow hellenism, keep in mind that the greeks colonised an huge part of the Mediterranean Sea and Alexander conquered central Asia. So if you are from southern Italy, southern France, Catalonia, Northern Egypt or from a land formerly under Alexander's control it is highly probable you have greek ancestry (even if I suggest you to take a DNA test to be sure about it). If you are generally from southern Europe or from an area influenced by Latin culture (like the Rheinland or southern Germany) you can worship the roman pantheon, I know it is quite different, but roman religions took elements from the greek one too, so you won't have problems. Otherwise there's always your people's native religion you can follow. Every people before abrahamic religions diffusion had their native polytheistic gods.
There's two things that need to be kept in mind: 1. There is a pretty considerable cultural and even ethnic difference between the people of Greece today and the people of Ancient Greece (which in and of itself was not monolithic). The last Ancient Greek was taken to the Underworld a long, long time ago and with that person also went any legitimate claim that you could "appropriate" Ancient Greek culture. Anyone offended by Non-Greeks worshipping Greek Gods is getting offended over something their ancestors gave up generations ago. They have no claim to exclusivity. 2. The Ancient Greeks worshipped plenty of other Gods of other cultures and encouraged people to worship Greek Gods when living in Greek-ruled regions. Ever hear of the story of Hannukah? That conflict started because traditionalist Jews were upset over the hellenization of the Jewish people in the Seleucid Empire. The Greeks went as far as even encouraging Jewish men to undergo therapies with the aim of regrowing their foreskins so that they can participate in activities at local gymnasiums alongside Greeks (Greeks exercised in the nude but a man was considered indecent if the glans of his penis was showing). So literally if there were any Ancient Greeks around they wouldn't care if you were Greek. They'd be happy that you were aligning yourself with what they legitimately believed was the superior culture (their own).
I'm sitting here hand-stitching a summer dress and realizing I could have just taken the fabric, pinned it at my shoulders, and worn it with a belt and it would have been just as cute...

I have a question. I don't live anywhere near an ocean, but there is a large stream very close to my house. Can I collect water from the stream to get my natural water, or does the water have to include salt?
Any water from nature counts. So rivers, streams, lakes, rain, etc. counts too
Thank you! In agreement with other comments, I haven't found this shown elsewhere. Have you continued posting on another channel? If so it would be helpful to speak up a bit, as you have a soft voice and had to stand a few feet away to demonstrate.
Can I use crushed frankincense incense sticks?
@Elani Temperance can u use a bed sheet for this asking for a friend
I suppose you could.
2:20 is when she actually starts teaching us how to do the toga
9:01. how carry items
so basically ancient Greek walk around with their bed sheet
