Review

Now it is time to reflect on the experiences of the trial lunar month.

You have had at least three weeks of daily meal-based observances. Review your daily journal entries. How tangible were the presences of Hestia, the Good Daimon, Zeus, and Apollon? Does your home feel any different? Do you feel somewhat closer to the divine (in an emotional sense) and perhaps safer?

What about the deities experienced on a one-off basis? How tangible were their presences?

The more these rituals are repeated, the more tangible the results become. Those who regularly work with the deities establish a bonded relationship with them. The deities will come to those who earnestly seek them with open hearts.

Once a practitioner develops a relationship with a deity, they can then start channeling information apparently from that deity. That information may, or may not, be consistent with existing myths. UPGs should not be ignored by those that receive them, but rather recognized as being of a solely personal nature.

Would you like to experience more of the deities? Then perhaps you should work the annual festivals in the Athenian calendar (see Experiencing the Annual Cycle—Athenian Festival Calendar). This is the traditional approach to use. Once you’ve worked through at least part of it, you’ll be in a better position to decide whether you wish to stay with it or improvise.

I realize that some people will not have the patience to work through the calendar for an entire year, but will want results much sooner, especially if there are specific deities that they wish to experience. I would much rather have people working with the deities in a nontraditional sense, by using nontraditional days and/or nontraditional methods, than not working with the deities at all.
