ritual schedule

The Greek calendar was lunar, with each month beginning the first night after the crescent moon became visible. Certain days were officially dedicated to particular deities. I have devised a monthly devotional calendar with this in mind; some are traditional and some I assigned from intuition. Don't assume that deities who appear on the same day are intended to be worshipped in conjunction. Anyway, here it is:

1: Hera, Ares
3: Athena
4: Aphrodite and Eros, Hermes
5: Hades
6: Artemis
7: Apollon
8: Poseidon, Asklepios
9: Dionysos
12: Demeter
13: Kore/Persephone
14: Zeus
15: Pan
30: Hekate, Hephaistos
