Just here

Let your nuptial hymns, your nuptial songs, greet him and his wife! ‘Twas in the midst of such wedding festivities that the Moirai formerly united Olympian Hera to the King Zeus who governs the gods from the summit of his inaccessible throne. Oh! Hymen! oh! Hymenaios! Rosy Eros with the golden wings held the reins and guided the chariot; 'twas he, who presided over the union of Zeus and the fortunate Hera. Oh! Hymen! oh! Hymenaios!

Celebrating Theogamia (southern hemisphere) with some Aristophanes. Joyous Theogamia to you all!

Blessed Theogamia to All!

May the divine marriage of Zeus and Hera, our King and Queen, serve as a joy to all. May you receive Their generosity in your own marriage, and may you and your spouse be blessed.

Orphic Hymn 14 - Hymn to Zeus

O Zeus much-honor'd, Zeus supremely great, to thee our holy rites we consecrate,

Our pray'rs and expiations, king divine, for all things round thy head exalted shine.

The earth is thine, and mountains swelling high, the sea profound, and all within the sky.

Kronion king, descending from above, magnanimous, commanding, sceptred Zeus;

All-parent, principle and end of all, whose pow'r almighty, shakes this earthly ball;

Ev'n Nature trembles at thy mighty nod, loud-sounding, arm'd with light'ning, thund'ring God.

Source of abundance, purifying king, O various-form'd from whom all natures spring;

Propitious hear my pray'r, give blameless health, with peace divine, and necessary wealth.

Orphic Hymn 15 - Hymn to Hera

O Royal Hera of majestic mien, aerial-form'd, divine, Zeus' blessed queen,

Thron'd in the bosom of cærulean air, the race of mortals is thy constant care.

The cooling gales thy pow'r alone inspires, which nourish life, which ev'ry life desires.

Mother of clouds and winds, from thee alone producing all things, mortal life is known:

All natures share thy temp'rament divine, and universal sway alone is thine.

With founding blasts of wind, the swelling sea and rolling rivers roar, when shook by thee.

Come, blessed Goddess, fam'd almighty queen, with aspect kind, rejoicing and serene.

Praise to the Hieros Gamos

Love, an untamed force A God who wields bow and arrow A connection, form'd between thunder and rain The skies ever-connected, by those who reing it Hera, mother of all, united With Zeus, father over Gods and mortals In love unending, victims of the arrow Together, with strong hands forming all that is hallow

portuguese:

Amor, uma indomável força Um Deus que empunha arco e flechas Uma conexão, formada entre chuva e trovões Os céus sempre-unidos, por aqueles que o encimam Hera, mãe de todos, junto À Zeus, pai sobre Deuses e mortais Em amor sem-fim, vítimas da flechada Lado a lado, com mãos fortes criando todo o sagrado

Theogamia

Hear me, wing-footed Iris, and rejoice!

Today we celebrate millennia of love in this cherished union.

This heiros gamos, this sacred marriage

Shines with hope and lasting cheer

Beloved Hera and Zeus, our King and Queen

Delight in their abiding alliance

I pray you fly fast, sweet messenger,

and sing of my felicitations

On this joyous day

Theogamia altar is up (it was easier to put it up a day early than to scramble around doing it tomorrow after I get off work). I’ll post pictures tomorrow when there are offerings actually on the tripod. 

I have plenty of peacock stuff (okay, not plenty, but at least some) but no swan anything and that is a serious mistake on my part.
