Goddesses Of The Hours

Goddesses Of The Hours
The Horae (Greek Goddesses of the hours) in person the twelve hours (to start with song ten), as tutelary goddesses of the era of day. The hours run from as it should be until that time originate to as it should be after dusk, in view of that winter hours are small, summer hours are hunger. Here's the list:

* AUGE, first light
* ANATOL^e or Anatolia, originate
* MOUSIK^e or Musica, the start hour of music and study
* GYMNASTIK^e, Gymnastica or Gymnasia, the start hour of gymnastics/exercise
* NYMPH^e or Nympha, the start hour of ablutions (bathing, washing)
* MESEMBRIA, the middle of the day
* SPONDE, libations poured after supper
* ELETE, prayer, the first of the afternoon work hours
* AKT^e, Acte or Cypris, use and completion, the update of the afternoon work hours
* HESPERIS, evening
* DYSIS, dusk
* ARKTOS or Arctus, night sky, constellation

An interesting practice to bring a deeper understanding of the Holy being energy, and a deeper association to the rhythms of the day is to become infected with a small fly to give a positive response each goddess at her deal with time. This can be as simple as a tiny address or small goodbye. You might be beautifully astonished at the magickal turn your life takes so you practice this abidingly excellent time.
