Modern Devotional Inspiration Board: Neptunalia

"The Neptunalia was an obscure archaic two-day festival in honor of Neptune (Greek counterpart: Poseidon) as god of waters, celebrated at Rome in the heat and drought of summer, probably 23 July. It was one of the dies comitiales, when committees of citizens could vote on civil or criminal matters. Respecting the ceremonies of this festival nothing is known, except that the people used to build huts of branches and foliage ("umbrae" according to Festus), in which they probably feasted, drank, and amused themselves." [x]

Part of my ongoing devotional project to imagine how ancient Hellenic festivals may be adapted for modern-day observance, and encourage their celebration through the creation of inspiration boards. Unlike some other religions, which have undergone a constant period of change and development since their inception, there is discontinuity between the original and contemporary traditions in Hellenism, and I am attempting to bridge that gap by envisioning how the rituals of our predecessors could have evolved naturally over time. Remember that your practice does not have to be "aesthetic" and it is much more important to be authentic to yourself.

Happy Neptunalia!

genuinely, from the bottom of my heart:

if you can’t read or write 500-1000 words with relative ease you have a serious problem

weirdtranssexual

how are all the teenagers who complain about writing 500 words for homework going to get through college without AI

how are you going to function in society if you can’t read 1000 words at a time

This is a FIXABLE problem, by the way!

Pick a topic you like, and that's what you're going to read about. Set a minimum word count, and read until you get to it. Start small. Smart easy. First try, it might actually be agonizing.

That's it for the day. Just hit the word count.

Next day, read to the word count again. Read something new! It will be easier today.

And easier the next.

And you will naturally find yourself extending how much you read per day.

yes! the brain must be exercised like any other part of the body to get stronger! no matter what place you’re at you can do stimulating activities to exercise your brain!

The answer to 'how are they going to function' is, and I say this as someone whose mom was a social worker in Appalachia for 20 years: they're going to get scammed. They're going to be victims of fraud, scams, and exploitation, due to their low literacy making them easier targets for others. And then they're going to be unable to read and write well enough to advocate for themselves in a court of law or fight back in any meaningful way.

"I ain't reading that" becomes "I can't read that" which becomes "I didn't read before I signed it because the guy telling me to was convincing and now I don't have anything".

Instead of the new dogshit Odyssey film you should watch Iphigenia (1977). It’s made by actual Greek people and focuses on a mother-daughter relationship to explore how women are sacrificed by powerful men in times of war. Also the main actress has the face of an angel 🙏 the whole movie is available on YT with English subtitles.
