In modern life, we often take water for granted. All we have to do is turn on a tap to get all we want, hot or cold. It wasn't that easy in the ancient world, even in "high" civilizations like the Minoans.
Modern Minoan Paganism is an evolving tradition, and we've recently added a new ritual to our sacred calendar: The Blessing of the Waters. It's based on the remnants of a pre-Christian tradition from Crete and neighboring areas. It's great way to connect with the water in your area, whatever form that may take.
To join the conversation about ancient Minoan culture and Modern Minoan Paganism, head on over to our welcoming group at Ariadne's Tribe on Facebook.
In the name of the bee,
And of the butterfly,
And of the breeze, amen.
