The Thargelia was an annual #festival for #Apollo & Artemis. While various rituals were performed, one involved choosing one (or two) very #ugly men, feeding them & either beating them & throwing them from a cliff, or casting them out of the city.
The 2 sacrifices were given necklaces of black figs & white figs - representing the #sacrifice from the men and women of Athens respectively.

running a poll about which statement best represents your position as an atheist whilst not my preferred way to use the term, the stipulated use of atheist here is any non-theist that identifies as atheist https://twitter.com/answersinreason/status/1598681680822210561?t=tMQSJmySmQ2guWjJpUZCeA&s=19

Epag Day 3: Happy birthday Set!
-----------
O Set, Rebel coming in the night.
Bones of iron before Whom the sky does shake,
Who sends the storm above.
They say “He Who doesn’t care about the law”,
yet righteous swords do glint and arrows fly.
He Who fells isfet, poised atop the Barque of Ra,
outstretched hands fend off A/p/e/p upon the hour.
Heru takes the Shield and You the Sword, ensure our victory!
That which torn apart can fight as One against a common goal.
Abhorrent or Beloved, each in its stride,
a time for all, a place to rest, a day to be.
And be this day indeed, take up the mantle,
You of Thunderous Sky and Shifting Sand.
Be sharp as flint and swift as bird,
stealth of fish yet strong as raging bull.
He Who loves the fight, Who holds his head on high,
Who welcomes dissonance abroad yet beats the drum
compelling, every sound yields on His might.
I stand with You, Lord of Blades and Power,
my bonds undone, I will not bow to evil.

Epag day 1: Happy Birthday Wesir! (Osiris)
---------
He Who is above, and below.
Who comes forth from the horizon to create the heavens themselves,
Whose beauty fills the Earth at our feet.
The stars come from You,
the Blessed Dead shine forth.
Heritage of the land, Ruler of the two horizons,
Bless my comings and my goings
from each first light to the final journey West.
Ground me to the dirt as I tread,
black as pitch, cool like melted ice,
but lift me up to soar amongst the greatest heights
that I may know the bounds of Your Kingdom.
Bestow upon me Your grief
that I may know separation, sacrifice, and reconciliation,
to appreciate what came before
and welcome steps to come with an embrace.
He Who glides upon the lake like air,
and lifts the gentle birds upon His back,
refresh my face Yourself
so that I look upon this world with eyes anew.

«««««
There be many shapes of mystery.
And many things God makes to be,
Past hope or fear.
And the end men looked for cometh not,
And a path is there where no man thought.
So hath it fallen here.
