The Wild Hunt News“Made up of a mix of all the grains, legumes, and edible seeds grown in any given area,” writes Siobhan Ball, “polysporia belongs to that most fundamental class of agricultural ritual: the kind that gets down to the bare bones of the relationship between man and gods, expressing plainly what we want and what we’re willing to give in exchange.”<a href="https://wildhunt.org/2024/11/polysporia-a-dish-that-dedicates-every-grain-to-the-gods.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wildhunt.org/2024/11/polysporia-a-dish-that-dedicates-every-grain-to-the-gods.html</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/kitchenwitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kitchenwitch</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/recipe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#recipe</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/polysporia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polysporia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/grain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#grain</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hellenic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hellenic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/eleusis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eleusis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pagan</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/witchcraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#witchcraft</a>

Mark published on 18 January 2012"The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RitesOfEleusis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RitesOfEleusis</a>, or the Eleusinian Mysteries, were the secret rituals of the mystery school of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Eleusis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eleusis</a> and were observed regularly from c. 1600 BCE - 392 CE. Exactly what this mystic ritual was no one knows; but why the ancient Greeks participated in it can be understood by the testimonials of the initiated."The Eleusinian Mysteries, held each year at Eleusis, Greece, fourteen miles northwest of Athens, were so important to the Greeks that, until the arrival of the Romans, The Sacred Way (the road from Athens to Eleusis) was the only road, not a goat path, in all of central Greece. The mysteries celebrated the story of Demeter and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Persephone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Persephone</a> but, as the initiated were sworn to secrecy on pain of death as to the details of the ritual, we do not know what form these rituals took. We do know, though, that those who participated in the mysteries were forever changed for the better and that they no longer feared death."The rituals were based on a symbolic reading of the story of Demeter and Persephone and provided initiates with a vision of the afterlife so powerful that it changed the way they saw the world and their place in it. Participants were freed from a fear of death through the recognition that they were immortal souls temporarily in mortal bodies. In the same way that Persephone went down to the land of the dead and returned to that of the living each year, so would every human being die only to live again on another plane of existence or in another body."<a href="https://www.worldhistory.org/article/32/the-eleusinian-mysteries-the-rites-of-demeter/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.worldhistory.org/article/32/the-eleusinian-mysteries-the-rites-of-demeter/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReligiousHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReligiousHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AncientGreece" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AncientGreece</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AncientRome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AncientRome</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Eschatology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eschatology</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ImmortalSoul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ImmortalSoul</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hallucinogens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hallucinogens</a>
