My altar for Noumenia and Agathos Daimon, Gamelion 2024. Highest and central, we have Zeus Ktesios, He who brings bounty into our home. To the left is Hestia, who is eternally due a portion of all offerings. To the right is my Agathos Daimon, in the form of a cobra, which I consider an especially sacred snake. My libation is some delicious coffee and my offering is Gala apples (my favorite) and lavender colored daisies. My kathiskos for the month is also on the altar. When I move Zeus back to His regular place in my kitchen, the kathiskos will go too.

I burned a combination of royal amber, frankincense, and sandalwood oil, which actually caught on fire because I didn't realize I had gotten oil on the outside of the burner. It just isn't January without my annual Practice Fire Safety, Dumbass!!! reminder.

I separate my kathiskos into liquid and solid to prevent spoilage.

The Use Of Alcohol In Libations

I’m not going to tell you not to drink alcohol, but I will tell you not to try and make drinking some sort of sacred act.  The use of alcohol (rum in particular) in African rituals is not an ancient practice.  In the past, water was the only liquid used in African libations.  This fact is explained in depth in the book “Obatala: The Greatest and Oldest Divinity” by Olayinke Adewuyi of…

Hi, I’ve noticed in a lot of Greek art, and statues, Hera is often seen holding a bowl or plate. Do you know why?

I am far more familiar with literature than with the visual arts, but I assume the objects she holds must be phialai (libation bowls), which were used for pouring liquid offerings to deities. Gods holding libation vessels, and even performing libations, is indeed quite common in ancient Greek art, but it's really difficult to find a definitive answer for why this is so.

Why are gods depicted as performing religious rituals? To whom would a god make offerings? Are they worshipping themselves or each other? It could simply be supposed that the common activity of human worshippers are projected onto the deities themselves, since we tend to create gods in our image and to imagine them doing everything we do. But that interpretation seems overly simplistic. Is this how the ancient Greeks saw it? Surely not. Perhaps the gods hold phialai so that they can receive the offerings directly? "Burkert suggests that the libation bowl wielded by the gods themselves … was an iconographic solution to an awkward problem. It was hard to envision 'giving' to the gods by pouring wine into the ground or, we might note, even onto an altar, where as alcohol it evaporated in the fire or rolled onto the ground. … According to Burkert, the Olympians stretch forth their phialai to receive the libation directly; and this solves our iconographic problem. The gods hold these vessels because this is how they get their drink offerings." (Religion of the Gods: Ritual, Paradox, and Reflexivity) Do the gods perhaps use them simply as drinking vessels? "The phiale could be used for drinking; it appears in symposia scenes, including those of the gods themselves, such as the Kodros Painter’s red-figure stemmed cup with a reclining Pluton raising a phiale, accompanied by Persephone in the tondo. This usage, which as Heinz Luschey has emphasized, is particularly characteristic of the gods, the uppermost echelon of a striated society. Hoffman observes that “Banqueting… was the pastime of the gods, who were thought of as engaged in an eternal symposium on Mount Olympus.”59 At their symposia, the images show us, the gods drank from phialai. The role of the hand-held phiale in the human realm is charged with numinosity; it is first a libation bowl, a drinking bowl for gods, and only secondarily a vessel for humans. It is this bowl from which the gods are always show drinking. And it is this bowl from which they are almost always shown libating, … Luschey has argued on the strength of this evidence that the phiale has a sacramental character and is sacred to the gods; it “belongs” to them and not to mortals." (Religion of the Gods: Ritual, Paradox, and Reflexivity) But then, what does it really mean when the gods actually pour out libations themselves instead of receiving them? This is a more complicated topic than it first seems and I'm not well-equipped to say much about it. This ask is actually what made me look more into the concept of gods engaging in religious rituals, so I can only recommend the book I've mentioned before (though I've just found it like an hour ago and haven't finished it yet, but it's super interesting so far): Religion of the Gods: Ritual, Paradox, and Reflexivity by Kimberley C. Patton.

Oops, sorry anon, I kinda went off on a tangent there and you probably expected a more concise answer. So basically, she is holding libation vessels, but I can't precisely say why. I'll be looking more into this, though, so thanks for this ask!
